Nike Air Yeezy
I was over on Hypebeast earlier today when I spotted these pics of the Nike Air Yeezy
If you’re not familiar with the legendary Air Yeezys, they are the product of none other than rapper Kanye West. Now for a while there have been pics here and there of supposed samples, but these might be the closest to the real thing they have.
From the looks of it they look like they are going to be a problem on the streets. I’m not feeling this colorway but I know it will probably grow on me. I am sure they won’t disappoint with the other flavors they drop. No release date has been set.
What do you think of these?

Seriously though it’s the strap and high flap that kills them. I don’t mind the colorway.

Yeah Bob, fake as can be. Only 3 colorways are gonna get made and its the one posted here, its black/pink and some beige deal. The last two doesnt drop till summer.
Im a fan of Mr. West. 808s is okay, but vintage Ye goes so hard is unreal. But i was disapointed when i saw these, cos ive been following their progress and the prototype was sooo much doper then these im afraid. Still gonna get a pair tho lol.

And nike shouldn’t go on the adidas tour signing music stars ‘n all I just don’t think that fits in with the nike brand but hey… anything for money…

Kanye can’t rap. These shoes are ugly.

@ Matt
thats not true, kanye can rap, he just chooses not to anymore with his continuing wussification of his music and reliance on the auto-tune
