The Nike Air Yeezy wasn’t just one of the best sneakers of the last decade, it helped to further define the sneaker culture as more than performance sneakers, but tools of expression through footwear fashion. Kanye West is the first non-athlete to have his own signature Nike shoe, and the sequel to the super-high-top sneaker is arguably the single most anticipated new release of 2011. During his cameo appearance in “The Black Mamba,” The Boss, (aka Kanye West) gave us a sneak peek at what is presumably his second signature shoe with Nike – the Nike Air Yeezy 2.
While we don’t get a great look, this quick glimpse of the shoe should shed a little light on what to expect from Kanye and Nike’s second go-around. Obviously, we don’t get a very clear view here, but it’s apparent that the follow-up to the Air Yeezy will once again feature an extra-high cut and a strap, with what appears to be classic tooling at the base. From what we can see here, what do you think so far? Check out some more pics after the jump, and be sure to stick with Sneaker News for all Air Yeezy information and updates.

February 19th, 2011 at 5:44 am
first yezzys were okay I think its just going to be more of a hype than anything…… Just saying
February 19th, 2011 at 5:55 am
the silhouette looks good to me
February 19th, 2011 at 6:11 am
Sneakernews please stop!… Why turn on the hype machine without the cold hardcore facts or evidence and no clear pics. They could be anything really.. They look like Creative Recs or Louis Vuittons to me
February 19th, 2011 at 6:16 am
Hmmm…
February 19th, 2011 at 6:40 am
Can't say anithing prop to the pics, so I am justing shoting here…
Looks like a more slim thing, kinda like Supra, but not a rip off. Stripe(s?) are more in the top than before.
Not sure about the sole desing in the inside.
Lets wait(cause is all we can… uashusahu)
February 19th, 2011 at 6:55 am
Whether you liked the first ones or not, any Air Yeezy release will instantly sell out. How many of you all are going to (attempt) get them?
February 19th, 2011 at 7:05 am
:-O !!!!!!!! air yeezy 2!?!!! YES!! YES!! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! i missed out on the first ones I WILL NOT MISS OUT ON THESE!

February 19th, 2011 at 8:00 am

February 19th, 2011 at 11:13 am
Too hard to tell in the pics to give an opinion yet but the Yeezy 1 was a hit so I'm sure these will be too.
February 19th, 2011 at 11:20 am

February 19th, 2011 at 11:21 am
I gotta Have um… I NEED ALL INFO.. like ASAP
February 19th, 2011 at 11:39 am

February 19th, 2011 at 11:52 am
i think they are air yeezy 1s, but if there will be a second version nothing will stop me this time around, i hope this is true and that you guys are not pulling my leg!
February 19th, 2011 at 12:23 pm
Wow let the hype begin!
February 19th, 2011 at 12:30 pm

February 19th, 2011 at 12:51 pm
Its like the sneaker version of the Bigfoot footage…
February 19th, 2011 at 12:59 pm
the sneaker zapruder over here
February 19th, 2011 at 1:11 pm
I am laughing at people who are saying "let the hype begin"…. Bunch o Hypebeast! First of all there's no official confirmation that Nike will be releasing a 2nd Air Yeezy and I'm sure Kanyes big mouth will mention something about it…But hasn't … So calm down and take a seat… Dorks!
February 19th, 2011 at 1:35 pm
idk a air yeezy ii, dont think they'll live up to the hype of the first ones, but no doubt about it they will sell out
February 19th, 2011 at 1:49 pm
Those just look like regular yeezy 1s… but i think yeezy 2s will come out holiday 2011,
February 19th, 2011 at 1:55 pm
Can't wait for more pictures and info. If these come out this year, people are going to need to know ASAP!
February 19th, 2011 at 2:08 pm
SUPER DUPER UBBER BASED HYPEBEAST MODE SON OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
February 19th, 2011 at 2:10 pm
SUPER UBBER BASED HYPEBEAST MODE SON
February 19th, 2011 at 2:19 pm
after the first yeezys dropped, he was on a speed boat thanking everyone for showing support, and said he was already at work on the AY2. #kanyeshrug lol
February 19th, 2011 at 2:27 pm
how are the yeezys considered the best shoes of the last decade??? they look like terrible it's amazing how a name can make anything sale
February 19th, 2011 at 2:55 pm
i'll have to wait to see more pics. The good music camp (well just big sean) hinted that ye was working on the yeezy 2's… I'd like to have them, but the amount of hype that this shoes is gonna get may steer me away.
February 19th, 2011 at 3:19 pm
Sorry you dont have a pair, but no need to hate bro!
I got 2 of the black / pinks, one on ice and one to rock! dont hate on me bro!
February 19th, 2011 at 3:34 pm
if he was anyone else no one would give a rats ass. If he wore shorts over pants people would start doing that too. Hell people are put on shorts over their pants at this very moment just thinking about the possibly that kanye does it too.
February 19th, 2011 at 4:11 pm
ya'll haterz, lol.

February 19th, 2011 at 4:11 pm
I've seen better.
—– theBawse
February 19th, 2011 at 4:13 pm
Wow. Here they go again. This has to be the most overhyped shoe of 2010. It's was a decent shoe but definitely not worth all the attention that it garnered. But to each their own. Hope those of you that are excited about the possible release get a pair.
February 19th, 2011 at 4:18 pm
Maybe…but I doubt Nike would let him wear another brand other than Nike for a Nike commercial.
February 19th, 2011 at 4:22 pm
the yeezys are a great comfy shoe but SUPER OVER HYPED because being a "sneaker head" is the "it" thing to be. Function wise, they are super comfy as shit. as for these shoes, these either are yeezy 2s or yeezy 1s on a new sole. remember yeezys had a air jordan 6 sole one time. so who knows. but until official pics come out, i aint making any schemes to get these. hopefully these will be more available. i dont feel like camping out for 17 hrs for kicks.
February 19th, 2011 at 4:35 pm
yeah, J. collector this is how the world works, you may not like it, something like that hapenned with a guy with a number 23 in his back, im not comparig j´s with yeezys im just saying nike does his thing this way. and i love it.
February 19th, 2011 at 4:44 pm
if you dont know this is how the world works, something like that hapened with a guy with the number 23 in his back, im not comparing j´s wiyh yeezys, but this is how nike does its thing. AND I LOVE IT.
February 19th, 2011 at 4:45 pm
I AINT MISSING OUT ON THESE THIS TIME'!
February 19th, 2011 at 5:07 pm
look like louis vittons to me too
February 19th, 2011 at 5:14 pm
"The Nike Air Yeezy wasn’t just one of the best sneakers of the last decade"
Ummmm no…..most overrated shoe in the last decade.
February 19th, 2011 at 5:22 pm
cant see sh*t and i still dont think they will look better then the 1st ones
February 19th, 2011 at 6:39 pm
first thing i said was hell ya yeezy 2's!! then i realized how much hype these r getting already… ughh i hate hype beasts
February 19th, 2011 at 6:59 pm
you look like a fool
February 19th, 2011 at 7:14 pm
I'm getting 2 pair of every colorway.
—– theBawse
February 19th, 2011 at 7:30 pm

February 19th, 2011 at 7:31 pm

February 19th, 2011 at 7:34 pm

February 19th, 2011 at 8:28 pm

February 19th, 2011 at 8:28 pm
Horrible pics! Can't see nothing!!!
February 19th, 2011 at 9:18 pm
don't hate the playa, hate the game.
—– theBawse
February 19th, 2011 at 9:20 pm
the first yeezys was alright but these look gay if they're even the yeezy 2s
February 19th, 2011 at 9:55 pm
In a NIKE production?
February 19th, 2011 at 10:04 pm
R there gona b glow in the dark the same way the others were
February 19th, 2011 at 10:10 pm
Whatever is on his foot is hideious ..i got all the first yeezys . These right hear dissapoint anyone lolkin for yeezys hit me up.i stay authentic and have pics . Icouldntmakeagoodemailthistime@gmail.com
February 19th, 2011 at 11:39 pm
Based from the photos, the AJ III inspired sole is replaced to somewhat looks like an AJ IV sole. But that's just how I see it.
February 20th, 2011 at 12:03 am
i really do hope they wont be as limited as the previous ones…..
February 20th, 2011 at 12:35 am
so everybody's gonna comment on the yeezys and NOT the all black foam 1s that kanye threw? Wow lol
February 20th, 2011 at 1:04 am
$1,000 says you will.
February 20th, 2011 at 1:05 am
Lol@ you

February 20th, 2011 at 1:06 am
Nah kid, you're not the "1st" to sound like an idiot.
February 20th, 2011 at 1:07 am
whatever these are…they wont top the origional Air Yeezy
February 20th, 2011 at 1:19 am
let the hype begin…..
February 20th, 2011 at 2:05 am

February 20th, 2011 at 2:53 am
WELL THE LEBRON 8 SOUTH BEACH KIND OF STOLE FROM THE YEEZY WITH THE PINK, WHY NOT MAKE A SOUTH BEACH CW YE???
February 20th, 2011 at 3:09 am
DONT believe the hype… yo these look like regular air yeezys and the person who said couldve been LV its a nike funded movie that should tell you the rest
February 20th, 2011 at 5:09 am
yeah Yeezy definitely tossed a pair of Foams. i noticed that too.
February 20th, 2011 at 9:13 am
Kanye and all his little followers are fags.. Fishsticks
February 20th, 2011 at 9:20 am
The primary focus for this Nike Production is Kobe's shoes and not anyone else. You really think Bruce Willis and the rest of the cast are all wearing Nikes because this is a Nike commercial??..Kanye could just be wearing samples..to me they also look like Yeezys with Air Challenge sole tooling…Hypebeast flock like Pigeons when they see food on the ground i swear..
February 20th, 2011 at 12:26 pm
And the weather so breezy,
man why can't life always be this easy
She in the mirror dancing so sleazy,
I get a call like WHERE ARE YOU YEEZY?
February 20th, 2011 at 1:13 pm
Not even if they were giving them away.
February 20th, 2011 at 1:18 pm
^ co-sign
February 20th, 2011 at 1:54 pm
If they're not going to be as limited as the first, then can you imagine everyone and their unborn children running around in these??
February 20th, 2011 at 3:01 pm
U trippin, but the front kinda look like air force 180s
February 20th, 2011 at 3:46 pm
2 pairs of yeezy's period! …let along the same colorway? loser! …..He's the type that'll buy K Swiss if a rapper endorsed em!
February 20th, 2011 at 4:23 pm
Pics are garbage. you can barely make out what colors are present. so instead of saying this shoe is this or that. i will wait. and keep my words short and sweet cause whenever i judge a shoe by a crap pic i am noticing that some times have to eat my words. like with the jordan 2011. first pics i saw of the 2011 couldn't show me that it was at least better than " a plain featureless shoe." so i had to eat my words. so with the AY2 i will say "we will see." ( dont get me wrong SN thanks for the pics. crap pics are better than no pics. and understandably crap. if we want to get a peek into the next up and coming sneaker before retail wants us to see it we have to get it where we can. i just cant judge from these pics.)
February 20th, 2011 at 4:33 pm
"The Nike Air Yeezy wasn’t just one of the best sneakers of the last decade…" Sneakernews, you get -20 points for this post….
February 20th, 2011 at 4:36 pm
your an idiot..these look nothing like the 1st ones
February 20th, 2011 at 5:04 pm
they actually look pretty good.. but i fiind it very interesting that sn is leaving this thread in the very beggining even if theres new ones..
February 20th, 2011 at 6:41 pm
Pass on Kanye Gayfish's new shoe he should be dropped from nike after what he did to taylor swift . Hypebeast are the only ones able to buy this shoe what makes his signature shoes more special than penny's,griffey's,and deion's the price tag ? GTFO of here
February 20th, 2011 at 6:52 pm
^this guy said "insole" LMFAO
February 20th, 2011 at 6:55 pm
the title got me more excited than the pics did…………….. -____________- either way, cant wait for more info
February 20th, 2011 at 7:19 pm
check this video out for a contest, it would help a lot if YOU clicked http://www.sneakertube.tv/video/3066/Minneapolis-…
February 20th, 2011 at 7:53 pm
….. Liked the metaphor used on the last sentence & that's TRUE PHILOSOPHY LOL!!!
February 20th, 2011 at 9:09 pm
the soles different
February 20th, 2011 at 9:17 pm
Insole?? You need glasses, or you just can't read??
And to the negative points, seriously? I just said we can't judge cause the pics are not sooo clean… ppl lets chill a bit, ok…
February 20th, 2011 at 11:38 pm
LV Never made a sneaker with a bubble . And Creative Rec's are soooo played . kanye would never wear them . They have to be a new nike that will be releasing soon or maybe just even the Yeezy 2's !
February 20th, 2011 at 11:47 pm
1st and copped. sucka.

February 21st, 2011 at 1:43 pm
how……
February 21st, 2011 at 1:45 pm
pennys are pretty close in price.. im assuming both are premium materials and thats what makes them expensive. stop hating dude, some sneakers can be lifestyle sneakers and shit and thats wat makes em special.. cuz thats rare, in fact i dont think theres any signature shoe just for lifestyle it always has a sport purpose. so fuck u
February 21st, 2011 at 1:45 pm
Someone just told me that they're droppin the yeezy 2 in la today…. the efuck?

What the F is it with you people and Yeezy's? They are the ugliest sneaker I've ever seen, they look great with skinny jeans. WTF
