Much like Michael Jordan in the playoffs, Kanye West tends to break out his best kicks for his best performances. As Kim Kardashian teases images of the Nike Air Yeezy 2 “Red October” and the Yeezus tour gets ready to kick off, we take a look back at some of Kanye’s favorite footwear choices from some of his best road runs. What kicks will Kanye wear on the Yeezus tour? Place your bets in the comment section.
Air Jordan 7 “Raptor”
Tour: Overseas Promo for The College Dropout
Signed to the Roc but sans sneaker deal, Kanye’s early days on stage and on the mic saw him wear a plethora of brands. Retro offerings from Nike, Reebok, adidas and Vans all received wear, with the Air Jordan 7 “Raptor” getting shine on stage and in video during his promo run for The College Dropout. Much like today’s upstart artists, a young Ye earned his stripes by opening for other artists, including Usher, and building buzz overseas. While his sophomore effort Late Registration saw its own arena tour, photos and footwear still prove hard to spot.
