It’s likely that celebrity sneakerheads gave themselves no limit for high bids on the Nike Mag 2011 auctions. Tinie Tempah threw down $37,500 for the first live auction in Hollywood, CA, and Kid Cudi ended up picking up four pairs himself. We even saw baseball hurler Brian Wilson actually wear his pair around the dugout, but add Kanye West to list of ‘sneakerheads with money’ to have rocked the Mags out in public. Kanye West was spotted with these super-high-tops backstage during the ACL Festival in Austin, TX, and it seems to fit his style quite seamlessly as the Air Yeezy design itself drew inspiration from the then-fictitious Nike sneaker. More images below, so take a peek and let us know what you think. via VirgilAbloh.

I just hope not too many celebrities got them, because I’m sure other people want them too. Can’t outbid a celeb.

When the Nike mags came out for auction, the first person i thought of that would rock these publicly is Kanye;now, it's reality.

I honestly thought of Kid Cudi being first, rocking one of his 4 pairs first ; possibly a photo-shoot of him on His Moon.

September 18th, 2011 at 6:15 pm
Why do people hate on Yeezy so much? Take your fucking tampons off. You really think he bided on these? Why would someone like Kanye, who has great ties with nike bid on these? He most likely received a pair from nike free of charge. And did you guys buy him these shoes? NO so let him wear them how ever the fuck he wants to.
September 18th, 2011 at 6:34 pm
wrong, ignant
September 18th, 2011 at 9:34 pm
