The much anticipated debut of the music video for Jay-Z and Kanye West’s ‘Otis’ went live, featuring the two hip-hop juggernauts dipping around an American flag back-dropped lot in a modified Maybach with a backseat full of ladies and a little stunt driving help from comedian, Aziz Ansari. Jay-Z and Kanye were both seen in Air Jordan Retros, which might not have been a huge surprise, but is obviously always a nice touch, especially when it’s a team effort. Kanye wore the Air Jordan VI, a shoe that we’ve seen the hip-hop mega-star wear time and time again, while Jay-Z, recently named the highest paid hip-hop artist in the world, wore a fresh pair of the Air Jordan 1 Banned. Check out a bunch more pics below and let us know who takes the “throne” when it comes to the ‘Otis’ kicks.

Maaannn.. I love this video and song to death. The song is just really good. But the video is like… Idk. Just awesome. Me being 16.. you don't see very many artists having genuine fun with their friends anymore. Specially not in music videos. I think that's what made me like the video the most.
Their shoes are nice too. Didn't expect to see Hov in I's though.
August 12th, 2011 at 10:07 am
but what is Aziz wearin?!
August 12th, 2011 at 10:10 am
love it
August 12th, 2011 at 10:12 am
i hate this song..
August 12th, 2011 at 10:21 am
real talk, the maybach is more interesting than the shoes! seen those shoes many of times, who does know kanye like the 6's and thats the first time in a long time i've seen jayz wear something else than rebook(doesnt usually wear j's) but i find the car more interesting than the kicks
August 12th, 2011 at 10:53 am
Haven't seen Jay look that excited or having fun since the hard knock life tour
August 12th, 2011 at 10:59 am
I was really surprised Jay wore the 1's..he's usually on his christian louboutin stuff.
As for Yeezy he always wearing his airport shoes. SMH.

August 12th, 2011 at 11:39 am
Like the kicks on their feet Kanye and Jay Z are a pale imitation of the golden 80s – 90s era.
August 12th, 2011 at 11:39 am
Fuck the shoes nigga look at the car mein! (Not really the shoes are dope too VIs are one of my favorite Js and the Is and very dope also.)

August 12th, 2011 at 12:56 pm
Jay has been seen in recent months rockin' the Cement 3's too! Both of these kicks in the pics are fire no matter how many times you've seen them! Can't wait for next Saturday for the Metallic 5's, the Graphite 14's in October and the Concord 11's for Christmas! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
August 12th, 2011 at 1:37 pm
doesnt usually wear Js ( and not ('s) that is possessive not plural) anyway that what u usually see Jay in, is Jordans or Nike period, he dropped the S dots wit reebok and only wore them for the commericals and occassionally.
August 12th, 2011 at 1:46 pm

August 12th, 2011 at 1:47 pm

August 12th, 2011 at 2:00 pm

These guys are having a ball in the video..lol..That's wassup. More fun in hip hop! Nice kix…IDK what the fuk they did to the Maybach but I am sure it will b put back together and no one will know. With money like they got, they don't care…..
August 12th, 2011 at 2:20 pm

August 12th, 2011 at 2:31 pm
Overhyped album for sure
August 12th, 2011 at 2:48 pm
It does suck because they are dying artists. Lost talent no one cares about. Declining sales for both of them. Jay hasnt done nothing since the Black album and Kanye was a 1album hit wonder. FUCK OFF
August 12th, 2011 at 2:58 pm
It takes something gay to know whats gay… smdh.
August 12th, 2011 at 3:00 pm
Bruh, this isnt school… this abt sneakers, fool…
August 12th, 2011 at 3:04 pm

August 12th, 2011 at 3:24 pm

August 12th, 2011 at 3:29 pm
Thats what im saying, people look for hot videos based off what they see already. I just love to see my favorite artist happy, and a sooped up, top gone maybach with 4 beautiful girls can make any one happy.
August 12th, 2011 at 3:38 pm
…..Niggaz Talking real reckless: stuntmen!
August 12th, 2011 at 4:03 pm
it's kinda pissing me off that Kanye is always wearing those 6s…almost all the pics that sneakernews posted up showed kanye in those kicks….
August 12th, 2011 at 4:05 pm
i dont get it…. every album jay-z made is platinum and every album kanye made is platinum…. if u gone criticize lets state some facts to back up what u saying
August 12th, 2011 at 4:57 pm
Hypebeast much?
August 12th, 2011 at 4:59 pm
Jay & Kanye… Ones and Sixes… American flag, Maybach and betches… sick, Sick SICK video
August 12th, 2011 at 5:04 pm
didn't expect to see him in snapback either
August 12th, 2011 at 5:05 pm
I remember being in the 3rd grade (1991 watching Jordan & my Bulls kill) when I fell in love with the Infrared Sixes… 2011 I still got MAD love for 'em!!
August 12th, 2011 at 5:23 pm
How can you tell they're BANNED 1's??? Couldn't they be CDP 1's???
August 12th, 2011 at 5:47 pm
seeing shit like this only makes me miss BIG more and more…..
August 12th, 2011 at 5:58 pm
i get ur point but who knows pairs kanye got
August 12th, 2011 at 6:13 pm
What a moron acting tough behind a screen.. Thanks for your paragraph of hate, loser.
August 12th, 2011 at 6:17 pm
people get so angry over the internet. You must be taylor swift's little brother? Doesn't it defeat your point to call him racist and then a "stupid nigger", only furthermore portraying YOURSELF as a racist. Please ma'am or sir, which ever you choose to be (over the internet), take your ADD and bi-polar medicine and when the constant recurring thoughts of suicide arise, well go ahead and kill yourself. Thank you and Glod Bless
August 12th, 2011 at 6:18 pm
Ye brought out the 2000 infrareds..nice.
August 12th, 2011 at 6:35 pm
Lol, u mad boogie? (cam voice)
August 12th, 2011 at 6:38 pm
Shakira is platinum too…..that doesnt mean she has any talen, just means a million people have zero taste
August 12th, 2011 at 7:12 pm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay-Z_discography http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanye_West_discograp…
If graphed you would notice both have been declining the past decade in sales. Their only hit songs are collaborations/remixes of other songs/covers while the rest of album is full of shit. Rap is fucking dead
August 12th, 2011 at 8:27 pm
i didn't see what was on their feet i was just baffled at how they literally dissected that half a mil luxury vehicle. O_o
August 12th, 2011 at 9:51 pm
thats cause they the most comfortable pair of J's.
August 12th, 2011 at 10:57 pm
what artists from that era do u know that hasn't had a decline in sales??? nobody sells records like that anymore. eminem doesn't sale half of what he used to sell. 50 cent barley sales 10% of what he used to sell. going platinum today is the equivalent to going 3 to 5 times platinum back in the day…
August 13th, 2011 at 12:52 am
swagger on a hundred..thousand…trillion!! kanye always killin shit with his black 6s (infrared and varsity red), but i gotta give it to hov..banned 1s is FRESH!!
August 13th, 2011 at 12:55 am
And they r sooo sick. Glad I got my pair. U remember he killed them aquas too. Its funny. Both of those kicks are my two favorites too
August 13th, 2011 at 12:57 am
Ye is chillin, jay is chillin, what more can I say…..
They killing em'
August 13th, 2011 at 1:50 am
loL yo Lame as Fuck homie
August 13th, 2011 at 3:15 am
lol at the fools saying this is real hip hop. probably think goblin is another good album. def not hard to earn or get paid in full these days..
August 13th, 2011 at 9:17 am
Em still sells what Gay Fish and Jay Fag do combined because his CDs are actually solid and not full up worthless dribble. 50 too busy tweeting to even make sub par music.
August 13th, 2011 at 5:51 pm
haha how do you know about that site!! lool
August 13th, 2011 at 5:54 pm
Respect you to my dude. This video is raw and you can never go wrong with OG colorways. Even Hovs fit looked decent
August 13th, 2011 at 8:01 pm
Waxe, you're trippin. Not everyone with Protools gets paid just because they can make beats and rap. There's a lot of artists right now on the radio, but no one gets paid like Jay-Z or Kanye… In fact 99% of "rappers" don't come close to earning as much money as them (not even as much money as Beyonce or Pharrell, or hell, even the money Justin Bieber makes a year). This IS real hip-hop. Because if you didn't notice, music is an ever-evolving thing, and this is what hip-hop is today.
August 13th, 2011 at 9:02 pm
I'm buying 5 pairs
August 13th, 2011 at 9:19 pm
i thought jay z said skinnys were gay, well w.e this is nice
August 13th, 2011 at 11:10 pm
if only kanye were half as good as he used to be(college dropout and late registration) but like many great artists dude SOLD OUT hard. his music is so wack now I won't disappoint myself by playing his new shit. if you wanna hear REAL hip hop check out artists such as The living legends, The grouch, Zion I, and Brother Ali. Their music actually makes sense, like Kanye's used too.

August 14th, 2011 at 4:03 am
wat kind of hat did jay-z have on ?
August 14th, 2011 at 4:14 am
custom maybach and aziz ansari!
August 14th, 2011 at 6:33 am
giselle you totally missed the pun, and in doing so further proved my point. also if you call 'who gon stop' me hip hop, thats about as dumb as timbaland saying he invented dubstep..
oh wait. he did.
August 14th, 2011 at 12:01 pm
you are an idiot
August 14th, 2011 at 4:37 pm
lmao u just as lame for this comment…haha
August 14th, 2011 at 4:41 pm
nigga fuqk u mean jayz aint do shyt since the black album? his last album was blueprint 3, i didnt listen to it….but it sold, and american gangster i bought, and that whole album was good ….you got it confused bruh
August 14th, 2011 at 4:44 pm
you dumb as shyt for that….em aint shyt man, hate his voice, sounds like he yelling in the fuqkin mic….jayz been better than him and kanye is better too….and like the guy above said nobody goes triple and quadruple times and above platinum anymore…this is a downloading era, people aint buying, so to get 1mil records sold is SUCCESS!
August 14th, 2011 at 7:47 pm
eh, sorry but you're wrong. I can hardly call this song a process of evolving. You get what: superficial lyrics, cars, and women. If that equals "Hip Hop" then count me out. Kanye and HOV have both went downhill, IMO Jay's only great albums are Reasonable Doubt and The Blue Print. Kanye is just straight pathetic now, such a let down for me after such great 1st and 2nd albums. Check this youtube link, get educated on some REAL HIP HOP. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnT4GmMP3BE

August 15th, 2011 at 10:35 am
To me EVERY Kanye album has been the album f the year. this comment is retarted.
August 15th, 2011 at 4:44 pm
They shoudda stayed in Africa. No amount of benjamins can make my niggah brotha look humans!!! Fockin' ugly loose apes here. Where are the animal rescues?????!!!! Bring them back to the African wild!!!!
August 16th, 2011 at 4:57 am
