Nike Air Yeezy Kanye West Shoes

The Nike Air Yeezy (Kanye West signature shoes) will release starting in the spring of 2009. Sneaker Files has confirmed that the majority of Air Yeezy styles and colorways will be limited releases. The Air Yeezy is inspired by Kanye West’s favorite shoes, notably the Air Jordan III (3) (used for the Yeezy mid-sole makeup). The Air Yeezy is highlited with glow in the dark accents which streak through the Nike Swoosh and Jordan III inspired mid-sole. Pictured above is an Air Yeezy sample being worn by Sir Tinker Hatfield.

  5. Actually, I think Tupac is the greatest rapper alive.

    Yeah, I said it.

    These shoes are OK, and they will do well, but only because of a years worth of hype.

  6. Big Nate—-oh my yes these shits are already being worn by my barber ahahha, i was like yo those arent even a colorway and they aint even out yet, hes just like im taking orders. They aight, the price on these will keep me far away. Already got my 11/12s preordered, no lineup for me, good luck to all collectors with that

  8. I wish Nike would can crap like this and focus more on improving Jordan brand. By improving I mean:

    Axe everything that isn't actually an "Air Jordan". No more hybrid/take down/cheap crap.

    Just give us one new Air Jordan per year in a couple of colorways. Throw in a handful of accurate retros too.

    No more limited BS. The price of the shoes should be limiting enough. People shouldn't have to pleasure the genitals of boutique shoe store employees to get a damn Air Jordan.

    Make the quality of the shoes equal to what they were in the early ninties. They did it back then, so someone should know how the hell to do it.

    Get rid of 99% of all Jordan Brand clothing.

  25. These are some air jordan 2s Tommy Cat Attack like damn do you no anything because the first pic is of a AJ2 original colors but besides him ima def cop a pair of these 2s.

  26. Honestly, I think these are just OK. They've got some elements I really like and some things that I'm not crazy about. I'm thinking that if Kanye's name wasn't with them there would be waaay less hype.

  27. Revive the Game? Really? These are nothing more than a product meeting a current fashion trend! These will not have transcendent value unless they are an extremely limited release. This shoe is clearly rooted in the Supra high-top revival movement… and it too shall pass!

  33. Kanyes name alont will be the only reason these sale, if they werent dubbed the Yeezy's they would hit outlets in an instant.

  38. Overhyped and prolly overpriced 2, & for what a design i see alot from nike they got what seems like the jordan 5 tongue and jordan 3 base. nuthin original at all.

  39. Why hate?

    most people I know saw the shoes before they even knew they were kanye west shoes

    and still want them so why is everyone saying that….

  41. yo i have been waiting for eva for these i heard they were comming out this Decmber and i was planning on getting those instead of the CDP but now i can get both !!!!

    Reply

  44. Vante your statement holds no weight because the only reason people saw them in the first place is because Kanye had them on during a performance and everyone fell in love.

    Reply

  45. Kanye 2tha was harder on his first album. Although all his albums have been good, I think they've all also progressively gotten worse. Typical trend with fame… Nevertheless he has remained a style GIANT! I personally like the look of these kicks, its no surprise he helped design them. Ironically, Kanye having involvement in this shoe is the only thing that turns me OFF about it. I despise the thought of conforming to a product just because some Hollywood mogul is endorsing it.

  62. The shoes are hot!!! Kanye has swagg and his music is dope, so Nike couldn't go wrong with that deal. Haters cut it out, you wastin' your energy! Find some real shit to focus on.

  64. for all you haters , kanye is the bomb and the shoe is a mix from jordan and a bathing ape

    Reply

  65. the only people who have given positive feedback on these shoes are kanye jock riders. the shoes are even worse than his lame, vocoder new songs. i aint mad a nike, they are just trying to make loot during these tough times. but i am mad at all these wack kids who have hyped up kanye and his wack career enough to make nike give him his own shoe. hip hop is dead!! next t-pain will get his own shoe or even lil wayne.

  66. my cousins boy is deep with kanye crew and he already gotz a pair and dem shits fell apart after the first week. the strap ripped off and the sole was crackin. yo, those are stupid. beware!

    Reply

  67. maybe the fell apart cuz your cousins boy doesnt really know anyone in kanyes camp and bought fakes saying they were yeezy's nieve mother fucker

    Reply

  69. This will be the best selling show next year from NIKE, hands down. Jordan Brand is all but over and all these generic forms of shoes they have failed to give some life to, are simply a waste of advertisement, quality structure and dough, but then again, NIKE can afford all of it. Ef K.W., I'll be getting each pair, I mean, I'm 33, how can I forget the AJ III's in Junior H.S.? It brings back so very many memories, but, to each it's own… FREEDOM FOREVER!!!

  71. Big up to Noodles! Hip Hop is done, so wack now. kanye got nice style, which is why I like these, but as an mc, i've had enough of him. Along with Weezy, T-Pain, Akon, and every other weak, synthesized, bullshit rapper.

  85. iight let me skool u guys on kicks these kicks r iight but the reason that they r "alright" and not "ugly" is because kanye has his own style and nobody can bet him because kanye does his own thing and dresses different so thse r differnent from just some jays or nikes cuz there different but, i give props to my man kanye for doin his thing and not copping every other rapper ot there he does he own thing and he got his own "swag" some people call lil wayne the swagga king but No way i call kanye the swagga king

  86. I'm not dissing Kanye as I am a fan and enjoy his music. But these shoes, sigh. Why would you waste money on these? It's like going to a strip club on a monday afternoon. Is there a dance here today who hasn't had a C-section? Please use your money wisely, like maybe on real shoes or you will get VD.
