Yes, we know Kanye West is designing his Louis Vuitton sneakers in the image above, but the pic was pefect for this They Say rumor. The source of this info comes from the #1 (as in most traffic) gossip site on the web, MediaTakeOut, so this news could be just a rumor.

Take it for what it’s worth, and discuss your thoughts in the comments section. When we know more, you’ll know more.

MediaTakeOut.com just caught wind of an EXCITING new rumor. According to a pretty well placed source, Kanye is negotiating to design a limited edition pair of Nike Air Jordan’s.

    i’ll believe it when i see it. if this is true, kanye better go hard (pause) just like he did on “last call”. google it if you’re lost.

  9. This sounds about right. Kanye helped Nike with a stoopid amount of hype and Jordan wants the same thing. I want to see them asap.

    wow wow wow wow wow. kanye is going to stop rapping and become a world famous sneaker designer.

  11. Comment by Converse King August 4th, 2009 at 1:28 pm

    They should throw a jump man on the Yeezy’s and call that the Air Jordan Gay Fish.

  12. LOL @ cantstopthebest. Now that would be a sight to see.

    ^^^Converse King & edizzle…Grow up please! Let the hype begin!!!!

  16. Comment by Converse King August 4th, 2009 at 1:55 pm

    Blue Cheese, I’m probably older than you are. Not that it makes a difference. Kanye West thinks he’s good at everything, and it’s more like he’s good at nothing. Count on these shoes hitting exclusive stores for the wallet strangling price of 700 dollars or more, just because this idiot who loves himself had a hand in the design. Kanye should just go away. A five year old could design a better shoe in crayon.

  17. Comment by Deznutz August 4th, 2009 at 2:01 pm

    If this is true I can see niggaz on they knees ready to blow for a pair smh they could have shit smuged on them and resemble the xi and idiots will line up smh

  18. Comment by ATLien_Smoke August 4th, 2009 at 2:04 pm

    ^^^ YEAH, What he said… Kanye need to sit down! Yeezy’s were OVER-PRICED, & OVER-HYPED! Come on Kanye, First Yeezy, Then Louis, NOW Jordan Brand. Need to focus on music, “the SHOE GAME” DONT NEED KANYE.. Its all HYPE.. Dont believe it…

  19. Comment by hyestylekid August 4th, 2009 at 2:07 pm

    HHHMmmmmm interesting to see i mean like G-Roc said it is the anniversary next year im expecting something big but who knows this would mean some serious campin for em

  20. Comment by walllyh August 4th, 2009 at 2:08 pm

    didnt he already do that? Jordan III outsole is such a unique and great idea

  21. F the Kanye Jordans! Yeezys are the shyt!!!

  22. Makes sense with the 25th anniversary coming just next year and with the success of the Yeezy’s and The LV joints. No wonder JB might do this, if they do you better believe I will cop. At least most likely because if there trash which,I doubt then no amount of Hype could make me buy them.

  29. Comment by kevin bradley August 4th, 2009 at 3:31 pm

    @ airjordanfan4567
    better than tinker hatfield?!
    are you mad? with all the classic shoes under hatfields belt?
    the yeezy’s still have to prove their worth. and they have a tinker hatfield (j3) sole for crying out loud.
    i highly doubt that the yeezy’s or anything from kanyes hands wil have the impact
    that tinker hatfields designs have made on the sneaker culture.
    kanye is over rated, it’s all PR.

  30. Comment by KJ NC's FLYEST August 4th, 2009 at 3:40 pm

    mannn all ima say is he betta not fuck up a classic

  31. The key word is “HELP” people! If this does happen, it must perform as a basketball shoe 1st! Kanye might pick material or CW…….etc! I fully trust Tinker would be in on the construction design. I hope everyone can agree that No Kanye is not better than Tinker Period!

  32. Yeezy fusions lol! WTF!

  33. Comment by Liquified Dopeness August 4th, 2009 at 4:21 pm

    kanye please QUIT. QUIT!!!!!

  34. Not hatin or anything but i didnt like the Yeezy’s or the Louis’, they were aight, it jus had to much goin on fa my liking, i feel like he’d do the same wit the J’s, less is more, keep it simple.

  35. the sneaker game is such a disgrace right now… bunch of hypes people messing up the game and the love… what is all the hype for already?, i bump and listen to Kayne a lot but i am not crying or jumping happy because he is helping Jb… Yo need to get ur act right, and start not jumping off bulding or so because Kanye did it. Damn!!

  36. Comment by Blackout313 August 4th, 2009 at 4:57 pm

    Ill believe it when i see it. I had to stop getting hype over the they say. what ever happened to the cement iv? Not the ajf crap. What happened to the nike air returning? Ya see? If there isnt sample pics dont bother to post. Its not cool.

  37. If this happens, and depending on how it’s executed, I could easily see people camping for 2-3 weeks…

  38. Comment by CenValCali August 4th, 2009 at 5:20 pm

    ^^ 2-3 weeks….yeah, put me down for that homeless bummed out must have sneaker roster….

  39. Comment by SeanLucPicard August 4th, 2009 at 5:23 pm

    Hype KILLS… Let’s not make this a big deal people. And whoever made the comparison btween Tinker & Kanye needs to stop breathing. That’s like comparing Rakim & Souljia Boy. Everyone know they’ll sell regardless of what they look like. I just hope the creativity and quality is up to par. If it’s anything like the last time, I’m there. But like TC said. It needs to be a atheletic/preformance sneaker first which means Kayne will have little imput on. Shout out to my ATL sneaker heads! G-ROC, TC, Vince, Pat a.k.a. ATLDunkJunkie, Marlon, Ant, Madison, Eddo, Chris, and Leo!

    let the hype begin

  41. Comment by SNIPE August 4th, 2009 at 5:49 pm

    ^^ Converse King, stop hating on Kanye and let him do his thing. Im just saying.
    Sure, the Yeezy’s were over hyped but i bet yer just mad cuz you couldnt get yaself a pair.

    And that “gay fish” joke was kinda *cough, cough* DRY!!

    It was funny on southpark.
    Blah, blah, blah.

    And if the rumors are true….well, we’ll just have to wait and see.

  42. yeezy’s=ok shoe but way overhyped,kanye LV=overpriced retarded lookin ish, kanye jordan=overhyped, probly going to be retarded, f kanye, yes he has a few ok songs but some needs to smack the arrogance right out of him imo

  43. Comment by Converse King August 4th, 2009 at 6:23 pm

    No, SNIPE I actually find Yeezy’s to be a repulsive waste of sneaker material. The fact that Kanye had anything to do with them cemented my opinion that they were garbage. But I would have thought it anyway, and was never interested in them to begin with.

  44. all i know is if he does…it wont be someting cheap!!!

  45. Comment by Juan Carlos Reyes August 4th, 2009 at 6:44 pm

    I hope not!!! All his shoes are WACK!!!!

  46. Comment by israel August 4th, 2009 at 6:52 pm

    …..more futions =/

  47. air yeezys 2s? I they are as cool as the air yeezys. The thing that sold me on the air yeezy is the use of the air jordan 3 sole. I hope they are hot.

  48. Comment by Ambassador for Bred August 4th, 2009 at 7:24 pm

    Eh…I’ll believe it when I see it. If that collabo ever happens then best believe that the hype would be worse than the yeezy release. BTW…whatever happened to the *fourth* colorway?

  49. I HEREBY OFFICIALLY DUB THEEE….
    DRUM ROLL PLEASE…..
    DUNN DUNN DUNN
    “KAN-JAYS”

    Now let’s go line up…hahaha…

  50. Comment by Bramyeezy August 4th, 2009 at 8:05 pm

    Atleast let a it be a shoe that has meaning NO MORE AIR JORDAN 1′S PLEASE WE’RE DONE WITH THAT SHOE!!!! >:O

  51. Comment by BarkleyzFiend August 4th, 2009 at 8:20 pm

    Oh man, Drake’s best i ever had video all over again, lol that’s my prediction. Except the kicks will be worst. Yeezy need t stick to his ego, no rainbow.

  52. i have a feeling they wont be up to par with his yeezys
    cuz wat did he do with the Air Yeezys
    make a hott ass hybrid cuz nike has WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY more parts to offer to put on a sneaker than Jordan brand. so he is most def gona make a hybrid like spizikes or +60s
    i juss hope he puts up the sneaker good i highly doubt it’ll be from scratch

  53. OK, let me break it down

    The shoe game is a business, when nike had all that hype going on about the yeezy, gentry was in toronto for the first release, earlier that week, checking the lineups, and he stopped by the main stores in the 416
    summary of what he said was pretty much that he hates the hype nike is getting, he wants to bring the hype back to jordan brand. kanye made a louis V sneaker that sold out, and a nike shoe that had HUGE lineups very early all around the world. nooooo one can do that. so jordan took notes.

    Also, jordans are turning 25 next year, they are already setting off the year with a bang with the jordan 6s, just imagine what the holiday season will bring because we all know jordan does not disappoint around the holiday season.
    BUT at this point, whatever kanye makes is flop proof, he made some ugly louis Vs if u ask me, and for the price, it was a joke, kanye is just so relevant to pop culture that everyone wants to be him
    its sad, but kanye is that dude right now

  54. also at the end of the day, u can have the ugliest shoes, just create the hype and people will buy. The yeezy, mark my words, if those shoes were general release, they would flop SOOOOOOOO HARD. only time will tell tho

  55. Comment by chrisbone123 August 4th, 2009 at 10:09 pm

    ill be waiting to see what they look like.
    Just cause they are a Kanye design sneaker dosen’t mean they will be hot.

    i hope they are wack so i can save my money. lololol

  56. The thing that makes this story easy to believe is that kanye didnt get paid from louisV OR Nike, and jordan prolly gonna give him a cut

  60. Comment by sneakershaun August 5th, 2009 at 12:21 am

    yes man! it might be better than JB’s sh*t he’s gonna drop.

  61. I’d like to see him make some VI’s, but JB will probably have him make some 25’s to draw attention to the new installment.

  62. Comment by abelinoSFV August 5th, 2009 at 11:52 am

    GET OFF HIS TIP PEOPLE… I JUST HOPE THEY AIN’T PINK AND ALL THESE FOOL’S WOULD BE LIKE PINK IS DOPE LOL!!! BUSTER’S

  63. the funny thing is all the people complaining.. arent the market they are even looking at. Who care about you? there are at least 100, 000++++ people who will run at the chance to get them. he might mess your sneaker world up.. but he makes 100,000 of more people beast.. i think they out number you..

  64. Comment by flashyfloy August 5th, 2009 at 1:34 pm

    I think I start camping out now!!! LOL

  65. Mr. Madison, can you tell me pls which market they are looking at because you know exactly what they are doing… i guess they are looking at the market of brainwash people who buy stuff regardless what is it, or whatsover. No one is hating on kayne, people are just saying to bunch of hype dudes to chill… the news ain’t even confirmed and people talking about camping for weeks… what f ing crap and illiteracy is that?

  66. Comment by Flatbush_Zone August 5th, 2009 at 5:57 pm

    NOOOOO! DON’T LET HIM, IT’S JUST GONNA GO TO HIS HEAD, THEN HEs GONNA WANT TO DESIGN EVERYTHING.
