Kanye West Answers About “Mystery Nike’s”
| In a recent interview with NY Times’ The Moment, Kanye West answers a few questions about his take on fashion as well as about his “get up” he wore to the Grammy’s.
When asked about what he wore, Kanye mentioned his kicks: Not out YET? Thank you Kanye for letting us know the good news that these weren’t some special 1 of 1’s. From the photos that we have (many after the jump), you can see that the shoes clearly have a lasered swoosh, Air Flight Revolution outsole, and tongue and ankle shaped similar to the Air Force V. These will be a pair to keep on the radar. Hopefully these won’t join the ranks of the McFly’s and never be seen again. EDIT: Kanye West has updated up with info about the shoes called the Nike Air Yeezy. |

The look damn near like “Back the Future’s”… Interesting. Either way, the shoe box won’t make it my crib…

If you hadnt told us that they were nikes, my first guess would’ve been a hightop undrcwn layups with a strap

Hmmmmmmm!
Comment by solesaved — February 29, 2008 @ 8:52 pm
The bottom sole at the rear resembles the retro 3 and the tongue resembles the retro 5 along with the ankle support. The toe front resembles supra skytop and the strap in the middle looks like similar to “creative recreation” sneaker.
Overall they look ok.

Comment by kickaholic — February 29, 2008 @ 9:29 pm
I like them, but there is no way I would be able to pull those off. Like it or not, Kanye is clearly a trend setter.

THose are a new Jordan combo. U can clearly see the retro 3 bottoms, the 21 uppers, the 5 tongue, and the 10 design on the front of the shoe. The only thing that doesnt make sense is the strap and the swoosh. They are hot as hell tho!

Comment by p — March 1, 2008 @ 5:14 pm
The kicks defintely resemble the 3’s and 5’s. Almost like some pitch black Spizikes with a midshoe strap. Defintely futuristic, but creative
Comment by Roling Stone — March 1, 2008 @ 7:17 pm
Look like an exact cross between Jordan 3’s and 5’s (just with a strap across)

Am Informed from a real good source that they are designed by kanye himself. there was a video wich showed him designing them before the gramz. and he told NIKE to makem ready 4 the gramz. its True No rumor!!!!!….. n sum sed That the swoosh is Photoshoped But its sum Kinda Poliester a guess!!!
