Nike Air Yeezy - Kanye West
Posted by Matt Halfhill | Apr 18, 2008 Only a few hours ago we posted Kanye’s Mystery Nike kicks, but with all the interest in his kicks, Kanye has given us all a good look at his shoe - the Nike Air Yeezy.
From this shot you can see that this colorway of them features grey suede, purple patent leather, and a carrot midsole. Kanye has us hanging waiting for release info including when, where, and how much, but you can count on us to give you full details as soon as they are available. |
Kanye West’s Nike Air Yeezy
Apr 18, 2008 at 6:03 pm
This might be the next pair i’m willing to camp out for…leave it to Ye to put together a fresh @$$ color combo…
Apr 18, 2008 at 6:05 pm
hardest out..kanye is my dude n hes ahead of the game wit the freshest fashion n wut not these hitops r fire wit that back to the future type twist on them- LI holla
Apr 18, 2008 at 6:07 pm
these is kinda suspect…why does it look like a bad paint job on the midsole
Apr 18, 2008 at 6:19 pm
gold, why would Kanye wear fakes?
Back on topic, I don’t like them that much. The black pair he wore at the grammys looked better.
Apr 18, 2008 at 6:27 pm
these are fire,and the check glows in the dark or was that a bad pic on his web site
Apr 18, 2008 at 6:55 pm
This Is Fresh And If They Do Release Im Hope’in its down here in ft.lauderdale
Apr 18, 2008 at 7:00 pm
these is UGLY seriously watz wit dat BIG A$$ strap dat ish looks outta place seriously D’s is WEAK yes they exclusive but they trash
Apr 18, 2008 at 7:08 pm
They ok not gonna be standing in no line ups 4 em but the still str*
Apr 18, 2008 at 7:15 pm
fire….and that’s it.
Apr 18, 2008 at 7:15 pm
Would be better without the HUGE strap, but still pretty tight, gotta see if they release in other colorways…
Apr 18, 2008 at 7:16 pm
im going to say 120 or more
Apr 18, 2008 at 7:16 pm
dont really like the colorway, but that is a clean a$$ shoe
Apr 18, 2008 at 7:27 pm
They’re nice. I LOVE the tongues.
Nike would be crazy if they didn’t release these. Fans, sneakerheads, and hypebeasts would make Nike’s sales explode.
If they get rid of that purple patent leather, I’m on board.
Apr 18, 2008 at 8:21 pm
I like em, but wanna see da price. i would cop but mostly likey not.
Apr 18, 2008 at 8:21 pm
these are straight i jus dont like the colorway
Apr 18, 2008 at 8:22 pm
Theyre nice, but you know people are gonna flip out for em just cuz Kanye wore em.
Apr 18, 2008 at 8:23 pm
sooooooooooooo fresh!!!!!!!
Apr 18, 2008 at 8:30 pm
ha i love how u guys hate on JB for putting out funky kicks and you like THESE? they have an old school look but the shoe is nasty and that colorway is horrible.
Apr 18, 2008 at 8:43 pm
they have the sole of a spizike… but i will be coppin if there is a better colorway.
Apr 18, 2008 at 8:44 pm
these are dope, specially the toungues. Kanyes killing the rap and sneaker game now!
Apr 18, 2008 at 9:18 pm
y’all kno d33s b3 dat n3w ish, but aint worf da wait, like on that real status, i aint f’in ta cop d3m wit like a hot min rollin thru
Apr 18, 2008 at 9:24 pm
ugly patient leather strap
Apr 18, 2008 at 9:43 pm
these look dope
Apr 18, 2008 at 9:51 pm
my next shoe.
Apr 18, 2008 at 9:53 pm
everybody who says the colorway is ugly is an amateur. you guys make everything so black and white. you guys like plain colors that always go together. the only time thats alright is when it comes to og jordans and maybe retroes. and even then jordan brand is trying new colors. mikes not playing anymore, he dosen’t gotta make it in black white n red anymore to match his uniforms. BROADEN YOUR HORIZON PEOPLE. WHEN YOU GET TO THAT POINT WHERE YOU CAN WEAR ANYTHING AND MAKE IT LOOK GOOD. YOU HAVE ACHIEVED THE TITTLE ”FRESH”.
Apr 18, 2008 at 10:24 pm
they have the sole of a spizike… but i will be coppin if there is a better colorway.
Comment by Chad Farr — April 18, 2008 @ 8:43 pm
Just thought I’d point out that spizike took that sole from the 3 and the 3 borrowed the sole from another tinker shoe, the air revolution. Other shoes that use this sole too that I can’t think of right now.
Apr 18, 2008 at 10:24 pm
these are kinda hard, the colorway gives it a retro jordan feel and everything else is retro nike, ima buy em if they come out.
Apr 18, 2008 at 10:28 pm
if the black/grey ones he had on at the grammys realease… ill jump all over em…
Apr 18, 2008 at 10:41 pm
Trash… they look like bape roadstas with the air force 180 tounge and some random flashy ass patent leather strap… kanyes style is trash and these kicks are an easy pass if they ever release no matter how much thry worth… just another pieve of gabo nike is making for hypebeast ass kanye
Apr 18, 2008 at 10:42 pm
Trash… they look like bape roadstas with the air force 180 tounge and some random flashy ass patent leather strap… kanyes style is trash and these kicks are an easy pass if they ever release no matter how much they worth… just another piece of gabo nike is making for hypebeast ass kanye
Apr 18, 2008 at 10:56 pm
i hate kanye wit his nice clothes an nice glasses wit the nice pants an the nice multi colored cant find a single or possibly cant afford pair of kicks to rock or fit my feet i aint hatin tho naw naw his shoes or only fresh an classic an original i just dont like em pshhhh hate kanye west an all his freshness….. where can i get a pair???? ill pitch up a tent an sell harpo magazines for 5 cents to get me a pair….
Apr 18, 2008 at 11:00 pm
dont hate appreciate people
Apr 18, 2008 at 11:25 pm
matt you gotta put a stop to that fool DEEZ NUTS
Apr 18, 2008 at 11:41 pm
BKost - the Air Assault also has that sole. now they have new one with that sole too. the Flight 48
that’s funny though. that other fool said it has the sole of the spizike. that’s like saying dr. j has ben wallace’s hair.
Apr 18, 2008 at 11:42 pm
Da bottom look like da 3’s…id rock dese!!!
Apr 19, 2008 at 12:14 am
fitting to his music…straight up fugLY
Apr 19, 2008 at 1:53 am
These are pretty nice but I don’t like the colorway……..Also the strap should be removable even though I like it but to reach a larger demographic that wouldn’t buy it because of the large strap…….I really hope these are general release and are resonable priced
Apr 19, 2008 at 5:07 am
these remind me of a aj3 x kobe2. very nice, but doesnt look like an on court shoe. jordan/nike’s really pushing newer retro looks. sort of like the spizikes or those aj iv spinoffs
Apr 19, 2008 at 8:33 am
Ay, DEEZ NUTS. BOY U A FOOL!!!!! LOL. These shoes are so fresh and so clean.
Apr 19, 2008 at 8:51 am
i think these are hot, but like someone said before… needs to drop the all black grammy joints that he wore. they looked much cleaner. hopefully cost less than 2 bills then i’m on it
Apr 19, 2008 at 10:03 am
yeah these are definitely hot…closest i can get to mcflys lol
Apr 19, 2008 at 11:08 am
ugly
Apr 19, 2008 at 11:19 am
they just like them because everyone else claims they do and that’s because they’re kanye’s
Apr 19, 2008 at 11:28 am
they ight pump out some new color ways then ill think about it
Apr 19, 2008 at 11:34 am
not bad, i might cop once they hit clearance racks
Apr 19, 2008 at 12:14 pm
These remind me of some Lebron’s…but they aiight to me…
Apr 19, 2008 at 12:57 pm
fresh
Apr 19, 2008 at 2:07 pm
Its funny cus the strap is the thing that made me like em’ lol.
Apr 19, 2008 at 2:18 pm
Apr 19, 2008 at 2:27 pm
god damn i luv these man i might camp out for these 2
Apr 19, 2008 at 2:37 pm
this is FIREEEE
imma get em if they come out,,its actually a mix of a bunch of shoes,,
1. air fordan 3 from tha bottom
2.the nike check and that little area around it is from da nike acg boot
3. The strap is frome tha creative recreation
4. the tongue is from tha air jordan 5
etc..some other sneakers i cant quite make out
Apr 19, 2008 at 2:42 pm
I couldn’t do these shoes justice…pass.
Apr 19, 2008 at 3:28 pm
pass the WEAK SAUSE!!!
Apr 19, 2008 at 3:53 pm
Not many shoes get as many comments as these has. (Except Jordans) It’s good to see these are getting sneaker heads a buzz. That’s a good thing. ‘Ye is bringing back the 80’s looks with some 2K style.
Apr 19, 2008 at 4:10 pm
dese are nice. i think dey gonna be mad expensive if/when dey release it cuz Kanye had da first pair. but anyway, i still wanna noe when dey realease dem.
Apr 19, 2008 at 4:22 pm
THE TOUNGE IS TOO BIG!! but i still like em
Apr 19, 2008 at 5:15 pm
them hard as hell. im gonna cop if they release
Apr 19, 2008 at 6:42 pm
these are lame. and not because kanye is wearing them
Apr 19, 2008 at 9:06 pm
super hot, and the fact that they r glow in the dark is pretty cool too. i hope they release these and the ones he was wearing at the Grammys, cause id cop’em both
Apr 19, 2008 at 9:36 pm
dude! these r sick! i dont care how much they cost! im gettin em!
Apr 19, 2008 at 10:56 pm
Trash
no thanks
hypebeasts enjoy
Apr 19, 2008 at 10:59 pm
pretty nice i gotta pretty nice connection with my boy up at nike and nike sb he showed me some color ways they have in store for them and they will blow your mind so if your a plain colored guy these arent really for you because they only have about 2 plain colors which are all black and some other ones i cant really tell you to much because my friend will get fired and he will bust a cap in my azz i would have released pics and everything but like i said before my azz is at stake..lmao but as soon as they give him permission i will put up the color way pics but one thing he could tell me that nike gave him permission to is that the huge azz strap thats very visible on the shoe can be hiden or style to a different so the shoe could have a custom look of your own i know your thinking how the h3ll is that possible but u cant tell you yet but when you do find out you will be suprised its very smart and yet unique..
Apr 20, 2008 at 12:25 pm
Nice job on the inspiration!

AIR YEEZY GLOW IN THE DARK LACE LOCK…I’ve got them on ebay. Search Yeezy Glow. I’m selling a fitting that goes over top of the standard Yeezy lace lock. This will make your lace lock glow and add to an already fly shoe.
Selling for $8.08. Pictures show the product.
Jun 25, 2009 at 4:02 pm
