Alani Figueroa AKA @wuzg00d Reps For The Opinionated Female Sneakerhead

Let us take a moment to shine a light on BET’s “Colorways & Toe Boxes,” a YouTube series hosted by Mouse Jones, Rich Lopez and Brooklyn-born Alani Figueroa, who’s known for her legit appreciation for sneaker culture reflected by an eye-popping, ‘fit-filled Instagram feed.

Given sneaker culture’s propensity for anointing pretty-yet-silent “it” girls, it’s refreshing to see BET select a host who not only has opinions but absolutely knows what she’s talking about.

Launched in November 2018, the series comments on silhouettes and news stories generating buzz in sneaker culture. The series also includes guests and has a “cop or flop” segment examining recent drops.

The first season of the show included nine episodes and is currently taking a break between seasons. Unfortunately there is no firm date on when it will return. On Instagram, Figueroa commented, “we wrapped season 1 last week so we’re on a small break until further notice :(”

In the latest episode, the crew discuss their views on Adidas and Pharrell‘s Chinese New Year sneakers, Virgil Abloh‘s debut sneakers designs for Louis Vuitton and Adidas’ decision to include and all-white Boost in a Black History Month pack.

The latest series also references Figuero’s longstanding dislike of Nike‘s Air Foamposite silhouette (which we share!) and her ongoing attempts to make them work with her famed ‘fits.

Check out the latest episode below.

Scathing 5,400-word report via The Cut's Tahirah H Scathing 5,400-word report via The Cut's Tahirah Hairston on Kerby Jean-Raymond whose label Pyer Moss appears to no longer be operational. 

Check out an excerpt below. 

Ten years in, Jean-Raymond’s star has only risen. He hangs out with celebrities (Tracee Ellis Ross, Brent Faiyaz), made a cameo on Insecure, and drives flashy cars (a McLaren 720S, an Aston Martin Superleggera, a Porsche GT3 RS). Meanwhile, his brand is nearly nonexistent.

There is no Pyer Moss boutique. The clothing celebrated on the runway was mostly not available to anybody who didn’t have a celebrity stylist to pull it for them, and company insiders complained that quality control was so uneven that at times what was produced was too flawed to be sold. Jean-Raymond sometimes missed deadlines, didn’t always pay bills, started other projects, and alienated allies. He referred to Pyer Moss as an “art project” and seemed reluctant to make practical choices. Among the fashion insiders who had cheered his rise, there has been a growing feeling that he has wasted an opportunity to build something important.

The last straw for many of his early supporters was his couture show in July 2021. Titled “WAT U IZ,” and put on in the U.S. during Paris Couture Week, it was a tribute to the various innovations that Black people have been responsible for, often without credit. The models came down the runway decked out in a jar of peanut butter and a traffic light. A lot of it wasn’t really clothing, much less couture. Even if the professional critics and other members of the fashion press seemed hesitant to publicly express their disappointment, they whispered among each other that he’d lost the plot of his brand.
