Nike Air Yeezy Doernbecher Art

Nike Air Yeezy Doernbecher Art

From the same artist who did the Doernbecher Freestyle Art Collection comes this Nike Air Yeezy piece of work.

Like the other pieces artist Krupky did, he had only one shot at this, even though it meant destroying one of the decade’s biggest sneakers. Krupky turned the Air Yeezy’s into something that actually flies–an airplane. Uppers serve as wings, soles as the cabin and the laceholders even look like jet afterburners. The stand lights up like a runway in the dark, just like the Yeezy soles. This is the final piece of the Doernbecher freestyle collection, with proceeds from its sale going to the children’s hospital.

Nike Air Yeezy Black/Black for Doernbecher Charity Auction

Nike Air Yeezy

Last week, we reported about Nike releasing two original styles of the Nike Air Yeezy for the Doernbecher Charity auction. With that said, we showed you the Air Jordan VI x Nike Air Yeezy for the Doernbecher Auction earlier today; furthermore, Nike has unleashed yet another original Air Yeezy on eBay in a size 12.

If you recall, this particular Air Yeezy was worn by Kanye West himself during his performance at the 50th annual Grammy Awards. Similar to the aforementioned Air Jordan VI x Nike Air Yeezy, this pair also features an all-black upper; yet, it is done up in 100% leather rather that a mixture of textures. As added features, this shoe also contains a glow-in-the-dark sole and will come in a detailed wooden box. You can place your bid on eBay now.

Air Jordan VI x Nike Air Yeezy for Doernbecher Auction

Nike Air Yeezy

Obviously, the Nike Air Yeezy was one of the most highly anticipated releases of 2009. Likewise, the Air Jordan 6 Retro Black/Red will be one of the highly anticipated releases of 2010. However, as a Doernbecher auction, Mark Smtih and his team withing the Nike’s Innovation Kitchen, has fused both models to form this one-of-a-kind sneaker. This unique shoe is available on eBay in a size 12.

This sneaker simply owns the Nike Air Yeezy base combined with the Air Jordan VI sole. The upper also features multiple textures on the upper including leather, suede and patent leather (strap). This pairing raises a lot of questions. Does the Air Yeezy look better with the Air Jordan VI sole or do you prefer the original way it looks? Should Nike start fusing more classic sneakers together? As stated earlier, you can place your bid on eBay now; however, expect to pay a heft price as the bid is now at $5000!

Original Air Yeezy’s for Doernbecher Auction

Original Air Yeezy's for Doernbecher AuctionJust 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.

Nike Air Yeezy Net/Net

Many sneaker heads are impatiently awaiting the release of the Nike Air Yeezy Net/Net on June 6th, 2009. However, Revive already has two sizes available in stock (11,12)!

Could this be the best colorway seen on the Nike Air Yeezy yet? It definitely contains minimal differences from the two previous releases. For example, the swoosh on this colorway glows in the dark just like the sole. The previous two were only equipped with the glow-in-the-dark sole. In addition, the strap is a solid color this time around. Click here to view in-depth photos of the Nike Air Yeezy Net/Net.
