Nike Yeezy - Kanye´s 1st Signature

Finally, the news we’ve all been waiting for. After endless speculation and “confirmations” on release dates that never materialized, we now finally have launch information and images of the three colorways of Kanye’s designed Nike Air Yeezy that Nike indeed plans on releasing! Pay close attention style stans, as it appears the Air Yeezy will be delayed well into the Spring/Summer ‘09 timelines, as compared to the originally “confirmed” March launch date. With a price teetering around the $200 stratosphere, the Air Yeezy will definitely not come cheaply (Special Note: You can’t buy class), but hey, it might be worth it to you afterall, considering that initially sounds better than dropping over double on Martin Louis’ upcoming LV collection.

Made of seriously fine quality leather and textured materials, the Air Yeezy sits atop the iconic Air Jordan III/Air Revolution shared tooling, and certainly makes for a jean friendly look with it sky-reaching tongue and versatile midfoot strap hardly meant for lateral support. Other sharp details include a glow-in-the-dark outsole to tie into last year’s ground-breaking concert tour, as well as unique lace lock system and repeated Y-patterned graphics found along the toe cap and midfoot strap. All three colors also feature subdued leather and suede uppers with bring accent color linings. With Kanye’s vision and Mark Smith’s ability to bring the shoe to life, the resulting Air Yeezy has seemingly been talked about for years now, but alas, it appears an imminent launch is surely inevitable afterall!
