Original Air Yeezy’s for Doernbecher Auction
Posted by Alex Kroviak | Sep 3, 2009 Just when you thought you had escaped the Nike Air Yeezy madness, 2009’s biggest attention recipient has been announced as a part of the Doernbecher Charity Auction.
You may remember reading about the Air Jordan 6 Doernbecher Freestyle and the story behind its creation. Proceeds from the auction go to help the Doernbecher Children’s Hospital. As mentioned above, it’s been announced that the original Kanye West signature shoe will be included in the auction. Two pairs, in fact. The first is the black and gum pair Kanye wore at the 2008 Grammy Awards that set the internet on fire with anticipation for the eventual 2009 production versions. According to Chi McBride, who was on hand to announce this news with Jordan Brand Creative Director Mark Smith, Kanye had to give them back to Nike after the awards show. Kanye didn’t even see the second pair of Yeezy’s up to the highest bidder. Like the first pair, they’re all black leather, but these feature an Air Jordan 6 sole, also in all black. Unless you’re ready to put up your house, car or savings for these super exclusive Nikes, pics will have to do, but rest assured that the absurd amount that is going to be paid for them is going to a great cause. |

these have to be the ugliest shoes i’ve ever seen
they look horrible, and by the way, these aren’t classics in any way or form or shape
if you guys wanna see classics i suggest you buy yourself a pair of ponys or adidas

His Airness knows nothing about hip hop, he’s probably a lil wayne fan! Kanye west is lyrically murdering ppl on their own tracks!!! If u havnt heard.. Forever (remix) with kanye, wayne, and Em then u know nothing about hip hop.
Sep 3, 2009 at 11:44 am
These are gonna go for like 25k each
Sep 3, 2009 at 11:39 am

Sep 3, 2009 at 11:36 am
The biggest question is…
What size are they? lol
Sep 3, 2009 at 11:28 am
Ok, what’s annoying me is that Kanye is not making music anymore, not that it was any good anyways, but he’s making shoes now, and they’re ugly as hell and overpriced!!! OVERATED!!!
Sep 3, 2009 at 11:28 am
Damn those are so hot!!!! They need to a Yezzy restock for real!!! Its crazy how you cna go from being JOE BLOW to having everybody on my ***** no HOMO!!!!
Sep 3, 2009 at 11:24 am
so so def
Sep 3, 2009 at 11:23 am
Trust if the Yeezy’s were or weren’t a GR it would still sell reguardless cause it’s a crazy hot shoe. Plus mind you it’s coming from a person who doesn’t even own a pair so that speaks for itself…
Sep 3, 2009 at 11:10 am
…..at least its for the lil’ duns!…these aint worth callin home over tho thats fo shor…I think the yeezys are a horrible shoe! they ugly.. if they were a GR do you think they would have carried all of the hype? I doubt it..
Sep 3, 2009 at 11:09 am
I have to agree wit zone if tha yeezys wit da 6 bottoms weren’t all black they woyld definately be hotter. Where could i grab yeezys in tha Burgh?
Sep 3, 2009 at 11:08 am
They should of came out with those gum bottom yeezy’s. Simplicity goes a long way.
Sep 3, 2009 at 11:04 am
No way I could win that auction…hug?
Sep 3, 2009 at 11:04 am
FIRE! nuff said
Sep 3, 2009 at 11:02 am
WHERE CAN WE BID
Sep 3, 2009 at 11:01 am
FIRST
Sep 3, 2009 at 11:00 am
Those Grammy Yeezys are nice, clean, simple. Classic material.
Those Bottom Retro 6s are interesting, but they aren’t appealing. Probably because it’s all black.
