The Nike Air Yeezy was spotted at the 50th Grammy Awards during Kanye’s performance. Sources told us that Kanye was wearing his signature Nike shoe at the awards, but we refused to post the distant pics. Two months later Kanye West decides to unveil his mystery Nike shoe, the “Air Yeezy”. We now have an up close look at the Air Yeezy’s, but no additional info is available right now. Stay tuned for more info and let us know how you feel about the Air Yeezy.
They looked nice in black but looking at them like this I’m not digging em at all. I can see em in a tonal colorway only because the sneaker is already a lot so having a lot of colors takes away and makes em look disgusting.
Not really all that special looks like mid cut Bape roadstas wit a strap… but imma sucker for hi tops wit straps so I guess I’ll copp if they release in solid colorways… ( but yall know every Kanye fan will copp regardless )
So are these kicks built to help your rap game? Do they have optimum performance materials used specifically for those days when you need to bust a flow? They are nice sneakers but c’mon man, a sig shoe for a rapper?!?!?
“…the shoes are his own signature shoe from Nike called the Nike Air Yeezy. The shoe takes influence from the Air Assault, Air Jordan 2 outsole, Air Jordan 3 midsole and Air Force V.”
these joints look like a pair of Spizike’s and a pair of Ato’s and some purple haze had a late nght stroke session…LOL… I’m gonna keep it real, I like the idea…when the ill red patent leather joints drop or the all silver joints drop everyone will be on it….the true test of how fresh these will be is if the are a GR, Lifestyle, Quickstrike, or Hyperstrike….depending on how limited they are, that will determine if cats go crazy…But so far I like…just dont like the colors…
Man the beast are gonna be all over these. First off they are designed by Ye’ himself, second they obviously have Jordan inspirations in them, and third they look like a mix up of the Marty Mcflys’ and some type of acg boot. These are just a mix-mash of designs and colors. So you know what that means… Aye where Steve Nash when you need him? Oh I forgot the playoffs are about to start.
I don’t get you guys that are hating on this shoe but go crazy for those AJ Fusions!?! This shoe is DOPE, and FYI – the outsole and swoosh GLOW IN THE DARK!
Thoughts?
