Right before the MTV VMA’s went down a pretty big blow was dealt to the potential sneaker scene at the show when Kanye West decided not to show up, which frankly might have been a wise move given his previous blow ups at such events. The rest of the folks present very much held things down though, with a pretty good range amongst the sightings. Frank Ocean continued to break out the classics with a pair of the Nike SB Dunk Low ‘Supreme’ from yesteryear, Tyga showed off his upcoming Reebok collab, Lil Wayne skated in with his Supra’s, and oddball rapper Riff Raff laced up in the Nike Air Trainer Max 94. Click through with us to check out all these sneaker shots and more from the 2012 MTV VMA’s and let us know in the comments if you think the celeb set did a good job last night.

Reebok continues to own the sneaker side headlines from Project in Las Vegas, initially putting on quite a show at their press conference led by brand man Swizz Beatz and featuring the likes of Tyga, Rick Ross, Allen Iverson, and Dominique Wilkins chilling in front of a wall of upcoming releases. They followed that up with a concert featuring the aforementioned names and more, one in which Tyga slipped out of his Kamikaze II’s in favor of what had to be an all new design. Indeed it is, one apparently crafted specifically for the rapper, as Tyga went ahead and unveiled what he’s dubbed the Reebok ‘T-Rawws’ to the world via Instagram. Check out all the shots of the Tyga x Reebok collaboration after the jump and let us know if you’re feeling this upcoming release in the comments.

The legitimacy of Reebok’s comeback is a certain no-doubter as the brand’s creative director and international hip-hop figure Swizz Beatz has forged a celebrity-centric troupe to bring the Reebok logo back into the limelight. One of the brand’s younger ambassadors is LA-bred Tyga, who was recently spotted wearing an all-new colorway of the Reebok Question while rehearsing for a BET performance. The new colorway features a red patent leather toe with a tonal black upper and midsole for a sick ‘reverse’ punch of the OG colorway that hit stores not long ago. More of the new colorway and Tyga’s full ‘fit below, so take a look and stay tuned to Sneaker News for more Reebok updates.

Celebrities gathered over the weekend in Los Angeles to celebrate the highly anticipated release of Lil’ Wayne’s fourth studio album titled ‘Tha Carter IV’. Attending the event were some of the most notable names in the hip-hop and pop-culture scene, like Rick Ross, Drake, DJ Khaled, Tyga, Ronnie from Jersey Shoe, and many more. Air Jordans and sneakers have been considered ‘proper attire’ for events like these for quite a while, which is why we spotted some great kicks during the get-together, like the Air Jordan XI Cool Grey, the Air Jordan VI ‘Infrared’ and the Nike Dunk High ‘Osaka’. The Dunks were worn by Ronnie, who displayed an impressive rotation of sneakers during filming of Jersey Shore; the Dunk High ‘Osaka’ which dropped back in 2008, is quite rare in the states, and Flight Club could very well be where Ronnie picked ‘em up because a size 10 just got snatched up from there just two weeks ago. Check out the celebs from Lil’ Wayne’s album release party below and let us know what you think!
