A few days Kanye’s crew including Don C. and Ibn Jasper got their pairs of the highly anticipated Nike Air Yeezy and now thanks to our friends at Urban we have even better images of the first colorway of the shoe which comes in Zen Grey and Light Charcoal. With these new detailed images of the collaboration shoe between Kanye and Nike we can now see all of the changes that went into the shoe after West was seen wearing them all over the world on his Glow in the Dark Tour. It seems Kanye and Nike designer Mark Smith spent a good amount of time going back to the drawing board and perfecting the shoe with all of the fine details such as the elephant print inspired “Y” print around the shoe’s toebox and on the midfoot strap as well as the “Y” shaped lacelock that also may have took some inspiration from earlier Air Jordan signature models such as the Air Jordan V, which featured a lace lock. And as far as the retail price, the select retailers in China who will be carrying this limited shoe will sell it for 1,680 RMB (~$245.72 USD). via Urban

objectively the y lacelock is interesting, and the y pattern is something new. All in all definitely an abducted Jordan x B2TF Mag lovechild.

hahaha WOW!!! I think Mark Smith should scrap these…first 14 ppl on here HATED IT!!! lolol…i just like the Y Lace lock i thought that was cool kind of reminds me of the Flux Capacitor in BTTF. Hummm there’s a thought how about Nike stops messing around with garbage sneakers like these and make the friggin McFly’s already dammit!!! Though i would think if these were never dubbed the “Kanye Shoe” and the price perhaps around $150 the most these would fly off the shelves.

i heard u can levitate with these on..just like Kanye can..get it!
March 19th, 2009 at 8:17 am
Yeah i feel you TreyMarc on the price but I like them. It would have been a 100% cop but the price is crazy. 245 shot I can pay 50 more dollars and cop the 5 package, “some Jordans” for that. 150 I can c.
