Celebrity Feet: Kanye West – Nike Mag 2011
September 17th, 2011 by John K. | 48 comments

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.

Hello, Neat post. There's a problem along with your website in web explorer, may test this? IE nonetheless is the market chief and a huge part of other people will omit your wonderful writing due to this problem.
...for someone with all that MONEY,KANYE is a FUNNY dressing guy.His outfits have a,almost,HOMOSEXUAL theme to them....but if thas what you like,its what you like.
How can clothes have a homosexual theme?
spoken like a true homo.
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.
tuck in the tongues or don't wear them you moron.
they look ugly on the feet.
I wonder how you can walk with them???
please sneakernews,we dont care that kanye has a pair! no shi$ ! this is news? not at all,its called common sense that someone as overated and autotuned as kanye would cop a pair hes got milllions of undeserved dollars,news? how?

yeezy's swaggin...nuff said

YEEZY DOES IT!!!!1
Shit must be nice
these shoes look like shit on foot should be used only as collectible and put in a glass case
illest mother fucker alive for a reason...
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.
leave it to kanye to rock em like a douche
of course he got em.. fits his style perfectly
no kanye no the tongues go behind the strap
Nice, im not gon front, they look good with jeans.
Yeezy is the shit
This is so effin lame. We already know 'stars with money' are gonna cop these knowing some people that have wanted these forever cant get them
swagga on a hundred thousand trillion!
To Wale, you can't wear these cuz you can't loosen them.
probably the ugliest way to rock MAGs I can think of... smh
I'm sorry but, how else would you rocks mags?
I know right, how else can u wear them? People say the dumbest on here
True statement sir. Realistic chatter.

I STAND CORRECTED LOL I DIDNT SEE THE OTHER POST...
We all knew this was coming.
That shit cray !

You already knew this was coming. Brian Wilson stole everyone's shine. Lol. Still much props to anyone with a pair.
Thats my boy, and im not surprised. Lol I sooo want a pair. 2015 for me I guess
I just hope not too many celebrities got them, because I'm sure other people want them too. Can't outbid a celeb.
i lucked out & got a pair.. i guess lucky fa me i wear a 13 & didnt have to donate dat much.. either way money goes to a good cuz & i was able to grab a limited shoe
to bad i dont have the money to show him how to wear them
