Nike Air Yeezy - Kanye West
 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. |

Comment by contra — April 18, 2008 @ 6:05 pm
these is kinda suspect…why does it look like a bad paint job on the midsole
Comment by gold — April 18, 2008 @ 6:07 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.
Comment by A — April 18, 2008 @ 6:19 pm

Comment by 716'sfinest — April 18, 2008 @ 7:15 pm
Would be better without the HUGE strap, but still pretty tight, gotta see if they release in other colorways…
Comment by Dillon Giroux — April 18, 2008 @ 7:15 pm
im going to say 120 or more
Comment by bkbigjay — April 18, 2008 @ 7:16 pm
dont really like the colorway, but that is a clean a$$ shoe
Comment by pup — April 18, 2008 @ 7:16 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.
Comment by Donovan B. — April 18, 2008 @ 7:27 pm
I like em, but wanna see da price. i would cop but mostly likey not.
Comment by MizzDette — April 18, 2008 @ 8:21 pm

Comment by FearGODnotthem — April 18, 2008 @ 8:21 pm
Theyre nice, but you know people are gonna flip out for em just cuz Kanye wore em.
Comment by BKost — April 18, 2008 @ 8:22 pm
sooooooooooooo fresh!!!!!!!
Comment by anonymous — April 18, 2008 @ 8:23 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.
Comment by gulaid — April 18, 2008 @ 8:30 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

Comment by monsterfresh — April 18, 2008 @ 9:24 pm
these look dope
Comment by greenmaker24 — April 18, 2008 @ 9:43 pm
my next shoe.
Comment by RSX — April 18, 2008 @ 9:51 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”.

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.
Comment by BKost — April 18, 2008 @ 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.
Comment by YouKnow — April 18, 2008 @ 10:24 pm
if the black/grey ones he had on at the grammys realease… ill jump all over em…
Comment by Jon Jon — April 18, 2008 @ 10:28 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

matt you gotta put a stop to that fool DEEZ NUTS
Comment by bkbigjay — April 18, 2008 @ 11:25 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.
Comment by johnny qb — April 18, 2008 @ 11:41 pm
Da bottom look like da 3’s…id rock dese!!!
Comment by D-tippinz — April 18, 2008 @ 11:42 pm
fitting to his music…straight up fugLY
Comment by d — April 19, 2008 @ 12:14 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
Comment by Brooklyn — April 19, 2008 @ 1:53 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
Comment by rod — April 19, 2008 @ 5:07 am
Ay, DEEZ NUTS. BOY U A FOOL!!!!! LOL. These shoes are so fresh and so clean.
Comment by lcsupa — April 19, 2008 @ 8:33 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
Comment by SpeKtaKular — April 19, 2008 @ 8:51 am
yeah these are definitely hot…closest i can get to mcflys lol

pass the WEAK SAUSE!!!
Comment by Scott — April 19, 2008 @ 3:28 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.
Comment by TASJ7045 — April 19, 2008 @ 3:53 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.

Comment by Carolina Boy — April 19, 2008 @ 5:15 pm

Comment by mooch — April 19, 2008 @ 6:42 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
Comment by JP — April 19, 2008 @ 9:06 pm
dude! these r sick! i dont care how much they cost! im gettin em!
Comment by rob — April 19, 2008 @ 9:36 pm
Trash
no thanks
hypebeasts enjoy
Comment by boyjordan — April 19, 2008 @ 10:56 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..
