You can’t hate being rich, you ain’t tried it (You ain’t tried)

Vanguart debuted the original Black Hole Tourbillon back in 2021. That first watch featured a levitating flying tourbillon and concentric automaton discs. It also included a joystick style system for setting the time. Jordan’s pair appears to follow that same general design language closely.

The watch has a wide, sculptural case that sits low on the wrist. It’s built from titanium, which keeps the overall weight fairly light. There are no visible screws or rough edges anywhere on the case. Everything flows together in one smooth, continuous shape.

Each Black Hole reference is limited to just eight total pieces. That scarcity places the watch among one of the more exclusive options available. Vanguart has said each piece takes roughly two years to fully produce.

Jordan has long been associated with high end watch collecting. Choosing a piece this unique also fits that established reputation closely. The Marbella appearance gave fans another small glimpse into his current collection.

The watch doesn’t tell time the usual way most people expect. Instead of hands, it uses moving discs layered on top of each other. Those discs slowly shift position as the minutes and hours pass. It almost feels more like watching a small piece of art move.

A separate gauge along the dial shows how much power the watch has left. Inside, the watch runs on a fully mechanical movement wound by hand. It’s also built with a tourbillon, a small spinning mechanism often found in high end watches. That detail alone tends to raise both the cost and craftsmanship involved.

Pieces like this one usually appeal to serious collectors rather than casual buyers. Overall, with only a handful ever made, most people will never see one in person.

At the center of the dispute are a pair of proposed exhibition events involving Mike Tyson and Manny Pacquiao that never came to fruition. CSI alleges it paid roughly $2 million in advances to Mayweather’s management company, Frist Apex Ventures, after securing what it believed were exclusive promotional rights to the fights. The company claims the agreements gave it sole authority to promote the events and alleges Mayweather personally approved the arrangements.

Reported by BoxingNews24, the financial stakes appear even larger when it comes to Pacquiao. CSI alleges Mayweather was guaranteed $35 million plus 20 percent of pay-per-view revenue for a rematch with his longtime rival. The lawsuit claims that figure could have climbed to $50 million if the event had been structured outside of pay-per-view. Court filings further allege that Mayweather later became involved in separate discussions surrounding another Pacquiao fight that was expected to stream on Netflix, a move CSI argues violated the exclusivity provisions of its agreements.

The lawsuit arrives at a complicated moment for Mayweather, who is already pursuing separate litigation against Frist Apex Ventures and his former manager. In that case, the undefeated boxing icon is seeking $175 million in damages and alleges he was defrauded by individuals involved in his business affairs. Neither Mayweather nor representatives of Frist Apex Ventures had publicly responded to the latest allegations at the time of publication.

According to the lawsuit, Rodriguez met Perry through a mutual connection in 2015 and later developed a professional relationship with the entertainment executive. He alleges Perry repeatedly made unwanted sexual advances while offering mentorship and discussing future acting opportunities. Perry has denied the allegations through attorney Alex Spiro, who has characterized the lawsuit as a “money grab” and argued that evidence in the case undermines Rodriguez’s claims.

Update On The Case

In a recent report by TMZ, Rodriguez allegedly said the filmmaker won’t “sit for a deposition unless there’s a guarantee Tyler won’t be asked about his sexual orientation.” However, Perry’s attorneys claim that’s not the case. The outlet has reportedly obtained court documents indicating that Rodriguez has been trying to have Perry sanctioned for failing to appear for a deposition. Rodriguez alleged that Perry’s “lawyer told him Tyler would only appear if they agreed not to ask Tyler whether he is, or has been, sexually attracted to men.” The accuser also noted that Perry has previously been accused of similar conduct.

TMZ further stated that Perry’s legal team believes that implications about his sexuality can turn into an irrelevant “witch hunt.” The mogul’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, told the outlet, “As we said from the outset, this is a shakedown and now a shakedown and a frivolous motion. Tyler did not fail to appear for a deposition nor refuse any line of questioning. We will seek sanctions.”

We’ll keep you updated on the case.

Between January 2007 and the album’s September release, the sneaker world was moving fast, with Jordan retros, Nike SB collabs, and underground hip-hop tie-ins all landing within months of each other.

Some of these shoes have a direct line back to Kanye himself. Others simply capture what was on feet across hip-hop at the time, from old-school Reebok and Puma collabs to the Jordans and Nikes that never left rotation.

Together, they tell the story of a moment when sneaker culture and rap were moving, right as Kanye was about to change both for good. Here are the 10 sneakers that defined that era.

10. Air Jordan 3 “Fire Red”

The Air Jordan 3 had history on its side long before Graduation ever came out. The “Fire Red” colorway made its retro debut in March 2007, months ahead of the album’s September release.

Its white leather upper, dark elephant print, and loud red trim made it impossible to miss on sight. By the time Kanye’s rollout kicked into gear that summer, the shoe was already everywhere.

It set the tone for a year packed with retros, hype, and rotation. Simple, sharp, and built on decades of Jordan Brand history. That’s why the Fire Red opens this list at #10.

9. Nike Air Max 95 “Neon”

The Air Max 95 “Neon” wasn’t tied to one moment, but it never left the conversation either. Its grey gradient upper and that blast of neon yellow made it stand out from anything else on shelves.

By the late 2000s, it had already become a hip-hop and streetwear staple on both sides of the Atlantic. Rappers wore it, grime artists wore it, and sneaker culture in general couldn’t get enough. A 2008 retro brought it back right as Kanye’s Graduation era was winding down.

It fit the bigger story of this list: a shoe built on attitude as much as design. Loud, recognizable, and impossible to ignore. That’s the Neon Am95.

8. Reebok S. Carter Classic

The Reebok S. Carter Classic carried weight beyond just being a signature shoe. It belonged to Jay-Z, and by extension, to Roc-A-Fella, the label Kanye came up under.

Its clean white leather and that signature script on the tongue gave it an understated look next to flashier releases. Still, it held real cultural value in hip-hop circles throughout the mid-to-late 2000s.

The shoe also set the stage for what came next: Kanye’s own Reebok ties a year later. It’s a direct link in the chain that runs through this list. Overall, it’s quiet, sharp, and deeply rooted in Roc-A-Fella history.

7. Nike Air Force 1 Lux ’07 “Crocodile”

The Air Force 1 had already been a hip-hop staple for over two decades by the time 2007 came around. To mark the shoe’s 25th anniversary, Nike went a different direction entirely.

The Lux ’07 “Crocodile” launched in January 2007, handcrafted in Italy with real crocodile skin and gold-tone hardware. Only 200 pairs existed, and it carried a $2,000 price tag, a number nobody expected from Nike at the time.

It showed a different side of the AF1 story, one built on exclusivity instead of everyday wear. The timing lined up right as Kanye’s own fashion-forward instincts were starting to take over his public image. Luxury materials, limited numbers, and a shoe built to be talked about more than worn.

6. Air Jordan 8 “Aqua”

The Air Jordan 8 “Aqua” landed at almost the exact same moment as Graduation itself. The retro released September 22, 2007, just eleven days after the album hit shelves.

Its black upper, paired with that bright purple and aqua midsole, made it one of the boldest Jordan releases of the year. It arrived right as streetwear was rising into mainstream fashion, the same shift Kanye was helping push forward at the time.

Sneakerheads lined up for it, and the pairs sold out quickly once they hit stores. A loud, colorful shoe dropping in sync with one of the most important albums of Kanye’s career.

5. Puma BDK Big Daddy Kane Suede

The Puma Suede has always carried serious hip-hop weight, and this release leaned all the way into that history. Released in September 2007, the BDK Big Daddy Kane edition came as part of the Yo! MTV Raps collaboration series.

Its black suede upper and gold chain detail across the side paid direct tribute to one of golden-era rap’s most stylish figures. The timing lined up almost exactly with Graduation‘s release that same month.

It connected two eras of hip-hop fashion in one shoe: the old-school pioneers and the new generation taking over. A reminder that the culture surrounding Kanye’s rise was never separate from the one that came before it.

4. MF DOOM x Nike Dunk High Pro SB

The MF DOOM Dunk High is still one of the most respected hip-hop sneaker collabs ever made. It released in July 2007, right as Kanye was deep in the Graduation recording process.

Its all-black build, mismatched panels, and the masked “DOOM” branding on the side gave it an identity unlike anything else on shelves that year. The shoe represented a different lane of hip-hop entirely, underground and built on mystery rather than mainstream exposure.

Still, it carried just as much weight in sneaker circles at the time. Nike SB had fully tapped into hip-hop culture by this point, and this release proved it. A grail then, and still one now.

3. Air Jordan 3 “Black Cat”

The Air Jordan 3 “Black Cat” retroed in June 2007, a few months ahead of Graduation‘s release that September. All black from top to bottom, with the elephant print and patent leather hits visible only on close inspection, it stood apart from the louder colorways dropping that year.

The design fit a sneaker market shifting toward darker, more minimal palettes. It also fit a broader hip-hop moment, one where stealth wear carried just as much weight as flash.

The shoe sold out fast and quickly built a reputation as one of the better Jordan 3 releases of the decade. By the time Kanye’s album dropped that fall, the Black Cat was already a fixture in rotation.

2. Nike Air Force 1 “Triple White”

The Nike Air Force 1 “Triple White” never needed a specific moment to matter. By 2007, it had already been the default sneaker in hip-hop for over two decades, worn across every region and every style.

Kanye himself was rocking Air Force 1s constantly in the years before his own album cycles took off, the same way most of the genre did. Its all-white build made it the easiest shoe to dress up or down, fitting equally well with a suit or jeans and a hoodie.

While flashier releases came and went throughout the Graduation era, the Triple White stayed in constant rotation underneath all of it. It’s less a single release and more the baseline every other shoe on this list got compared to. A true hip-hop constant.

1. Bape Bapesta x Kanye West “College Dropout”

The Bape Bapesta x Kanye West “College Dropout” earns the top spot for a simple reason: it’s the shoe that started everything. Released in January 2007, this was Kanye’s first-ever sneaker collaboration, built on Bape’s flagship Bapesta silhouette rather than a brand new design.

The colorway pulled directly from his debut album’s artwork, repping the bear logo that paid dues to that era’s visual identity. That bear didn’t disappear after College Dropout. It evolved into Dropout Bear, the mascot that fronted Graduation’s cover art just months later.

Without this shoe, there’s no clear bridge between Kanye’s first chapter and the one that followed. It also marked his real entry point into Japanese streetwear, a relationship that would shape his style for years.

Every other entry on this list exists somewhere in that orbit. The Bapesta isn’t just first because of the date. It’s first because everything after it built on what this shoe started.
