Lil Wayne is a legend in hip-hop and over the past couple of decades, he has helped define some style trends. He has been known for his affiliations with Bape while also helping set the tone for Reebok in the 2000s. No matter what Wayne is wearing, people pay attention and begin to emulate him. Due to his influence in the sneaker world, Complex had Wayne on an episode of “Sneaker Shopping” where he dropped quite a bit of money at Neiman Marcus in Miami.

The episode starts with Joe La Puma asking Wayne about the sneakers he’s worn over the years and how Wayne actually helped influence Kendrick Lamar to sign with Reebok. Wayne even spoke about his New Orleans influence and how it shaped the way he dressed.

At the end of the episode, Wayne was given the opportunity to cop some sneakers and that’s exactly what he did. Wayne dropped over $7500 and came through with numerous pairs of Balenciaga Speed Trainers. Wayne came away with over a dozen pairs of shoes and about half of them, were in fact, the Speed Trainer. He also bought some Versace slippers as well as designer shoes from Dior and Dolce & Gabbana.

Every quarter, Lyst comes through with an index on some of the hottest brands and products on the market. Over the past year, Virgil Abloh’s Off-White has been at the top of this list and once again, the brand came out on top in the fourth quarter of 2019. Yes, that’s right, Off-White is the hottest brand in the entire world now which is pretty interesting considering it’s relatively new compared to some of the other staples on the list.

For instance, Gucci and Balenciaga were second and third respectively while Moncler ended up in fourth. Rounding out the top five was Versace. The rest of the top includes Fendi, Prada, Valentino, Saint Laurent, and even Burberry. The entire list includes 20 brands including staples such as Nike, Stone Island, Givenchy, and even Yeezy.

Abloh’s performance on this list shouldn’t be too surprising when you consider everything he has been able to do with Louis Vuitton. His efforts with other companies have put more eyeballs on off-white which has become the preferred high fashion brand amongst young people throughout the world. Based on these results, it’s clear some of the older brands have a lot of catching up to do.
