A$AP Rocky Talks His Personal Style, Finding Himself in Fashion and More with Complex

A$AP Rocky recently spoke with Complex about his views on modern sneaker culture, the direction of New York’s style, and the evolution of his personal style. The interview caught the A$AP Mob leader during a photoshoot for a promotional adidas editorial titled “three stripes,” which features the Harlem rapper in mix-and-match outfits like Parisian designer threads paired with adidas Originals Stan Smith sneakers — a look that the rapper cites resonates with his personal style, especially circa 2011 when his music was making its first breakthrough. Having associated himself with fashion designers like Raf Simons and Rick Owens at an early stage, Lord Flacko eventually came out with his first fashion endeavor with the collaborative Jeremy Scott sneaker in 2013. Since he was a teen growing up in Harlem, A$AP Rocky has made a name for himself as one of the most eccentric and flamboyantly dressed artists on the scene. Check out the interview below.

What makes the Stan Smith such a stylish sneaker to you?
It just looks classic. It’s the finishing touch, especially if you compare it to the shell-toe. When it comes to the Stan Smith, it’s way more smooth and way more classic to me.
How has your sense of style evolved since your first mixtape?
Things that I could never afford, people see me in more often now, ’cause I got the financials to go purchase them. [My style] definitely matured. There’s a lot of things that I used to wear that I don’t wear anymore, and there’s a lot of things that I wore before that I’m in love with now, or things that I wore a long time ago that I brought back out.
You’re no stranger to Raf Simons and Rick Owens. What do their collaborations with adidas say about the intersection between fashion, sneakers, and street culture?
It’s dope as fuck, you know. It’s making adidas look strong. There aren’t too many highly respected designers in the high-end world that other athletic name brands can do a collaboration with. This is amazing: All of my favorite designers are doing an adidas sneaker. Who would’ve ever thought that Rick Owens would do an adidas sneaker, or Raf? It’s crazy.
You’ve said there are downsides to being a trendsetter. You’ll see somebody rocking something that looks good on you and they may not be able to pull it off. How do you know if a trend works for you?
That’s an individual thing. Everybody has their individuality, so you just gotta make it work for you. I no longer concern myself with what everybody’s doing and how they do it. I don’t even care anymore.
Where do you think New York City style is right now?
It’s diverse. I went around the world and I see influences from Copenhagen, France, London, all inspired by stuff that New York does, and vice versa. I like the way fashion is going. It’s just like music—it doesn’t matter what region you’re from, you can adapt to any region for music or fashion. It doesn’t matter like it used to.
Is there still such a thing as a “regional look”?
You can’t tell where anybody’s from anymore. From the way that they rap, look, dress, sound, everything is just one melting pot. I love it.
When people think of who in New York City is absolutely killing it, they obviously think of you. Is there anyone else who embodies NY in the way they carry themselves and dress?
No. [Laughs.] Hell no.
What should those kids do if they aspire to be as jiggy as you are?
They’re gonna be way jiggier than me because they’re younger, they’re more advanced. At the end of the day, this is a blessing, but I’m not going to be who I am forever for New York. There’s gonna be another guy to come along and do it even better than I did it, and I just hope that me and that kid get along, so I can be happy for him.
The best thing to do is stick to your guns. I remember being poor and thinking, “Man, I wish I could afford those clothes that Pharrell is wearing, or Kanye’s wearing.” I couldn’t afford it, so I would get a girlfriend to do it, or I would hustle. All I cared about was my clothes. When I was still broke, I felt like I had more style. I still feel that way—well, maybe not for real. I just feel like there’s going to be another kid that comes along—maybe he’s not even going to be from New York—and he’s just going to represent fashion the way that I did, but better, or in a different form, and that’s all that matters.
What has gotten you in more with models—being fly or looking fly?
Not giving a fuck that they’re models is what got me pussy. Like, I’ve fucked so many models because I don’t give a fuck about them being models. Fuck ’em, fuck ’em, fuck ’em, you know? That’s it.

NEW WATCHES: Officine Autodromo Auctions Final Prototipo Chonograph Vic Elford Limited Edition To Stop Domestic Violence / :CHOCOOLATE x AAPE by A Bathing Ape x Bamford Watch Department Rolex Explorer / Dr. Romanelli x Bamford Watch Department "Flash Gordon" and "Phantom" Rolex Watches / Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Extreme LAB 2 / VOID V01 MKII Watch

Officine Autodromo will be auctioning the last of its 224 Prototipo Chronograph Vic Elford Limited Edition Timepieces at the Bonhams Amelia Island Automotive Auction. Watchmakers at Autodromo announced their collaboration with motorsport icon Vic Elford in 2013, celebrating his legendary victory at the 1968 Targa Florio in Sicily, widely regarded as one of the greatest drives of all time. The top-crafted chronographs have been sold out since its release, and remain hotly sought after — frequently purchased off resellers for a substantial profit. The proceeds of this sale will go to Micah’s Place, an organization which provides refuge for domestic violence victims. The Banhams Amelia Island Automotive Auction will happen on March 12. To register to bid, visit here.

After teaming up to drop the “Shadow Shark” RC Car Sticker Kit back in November of last year, :CHOCOOLATE and A Bathing Ape‘s AAPE imprint have come together once again, this time teaming up with expert customizer Bamford Watch Department for a limited edition timepiece. Coming in the form of the clean and classic Rolex Explorer, the collab sees the watch with Bamford’s signature military-grade titanium finish and couples a matching black face with white indices, co-branded “:CHOCOOLAAPE” logo, and a military green NATO strap. The piece can be found now exclusively at Tsim Sha Tsui’s The ONE in Hong Kong.

Bamford Watch Department joins LA-based designer and fashion guru Dr. Romanelli to produce custom Rolex watches. Paying homage to King Feature Syndicate’s legendary comic characters Flash Gordon and Phantom, the collaborative watch collection consists of a Rolex Explorer II and a Rolex Submariner model decorated in vibrant accents. Included in the special edition package is a uniquely crafted presentation box, which houses a custom, numbered comic strip poster, steel warranty cards and handcrafted rings by British brand, The Great Frog. Military-grade titanium coating protects the scratch-resistant premium watches as an engraving of the DRx logo adorns the reverse side of the watch. The Dr. Romanelli x Bamford Watch Department “Flash Gordon” and “Phantom” custom Rolex watch collection will be available exclusively at BWD’s online store.

Switzerland-based luxury watchmaker Jaeger-LeCoultre presents an updated version of the 2010-released Master Compressor Extreme LAB 2. This time around the timepiece features blue accents along the dial instead of red, and a new smooth ceramic bezel that replaces the previous ridged variant. A double pin buckle gives the fast strap-change system an unprecedented length adjustment ensuring a better fit. Like its predecessor, the new Master Compressor Extreme LAB 2 is housed in a 46.8 mm by 16.5 mm titanium alloy case, and is equipped with a mechanical chronograph movement designed for the most extreme environments. This exquisitely crafted is available for purchase via the brand’s e-boutique along with the previous red version.

VOID‘s new V01 MKII watch gives a contemporary update to its beloved digital watch, the V01. The MKII version of the classic stainless steel model offers a streamlined, minimalist design with its signature rectangular shape, thinner design, premium Italian calfskin leather strap, and simple digital LCD display that’s covered in sapphire crystal for extra protection. The water-resistant watch is finished off with a sandblasted matte finish for a polished look. The VOID V01 MKII is offered in three colors: black, silver and gold, and can be purchased at VOID for $340 USD.

Michael Jordan is Officially a Billionaire

Michael Jordan is now on the Forbes list of billionaires. Arguably one of the most famous athletes in the world and indisputably the highest paid, Jordan’s appearance makes him the 513th richest person in the United States with a net worth of $1.0 billion USD. Much of Jordan’s rise in the ranks is attributed to his stake in the NBA franchise, the Charlotte Hornets, which saw its value increase from $410 million USD to $725 million USD after the Los Angeles Clippers were sold to Steve Balmer for $2 billion USD.  Much of the rest of Jordan’s cash flow is due to payouts from his iconic Jordan brand with Nike, which grossed an estimated $2.25 billion USD in 2013 alone.
