Kanye West’s role as “sneaker tastemaker” has been well-documented on the interwebs since he gained mainstream notoriety with The College Dropout in 2004, and it’s risen to a point where he’s reached the holy grail of sneakerheadism – a signature sneaker. While the collective sneaker fanbase is patiently awaiting the high-end Air Yeezy 2, Kanye West was spotted sitting courtside at the Game 3 of the Knicks/Heat series at the Garden, wearing the Nike Air Flight ’89 ‘True Blue’ that recently hit stores. He and courtside-mate Ben Stiller were probably busy critiquing the game and, well, if you look below, a few other things. Check out Yeezy in the Air Flight ’89s below and stick with Sneaker News for more NBA Feet sightings! Photos :wire
Wack shoes even wacker pants quit following the hype.
These classic 89-90 jawns are so crucial. I know u you cats ain't gonna break ya necks for me to copp luv it and the hot dancer.
FOAMS ARE SPIKING PHESHIN THERE.
My brown Air Flight 89s I've had for 3 years are still my goto sneaks. I wanted these TB ones too.
ayo is that Kenan Ivory Wayne next to Yeezy rockin them infared vi's lol...now thats classic Lol
I'm not looking at those shoes, I'm looking at that ASS!
Juss lemme know when that next album drop
Damn. I was joking with my friend a couple of weeks ago saying we don't have to worry about air flights being hyped unless Kanye West or some other rapper start rocking em. And behold. Im tight. I was hoping these would sit on the shelves and I could cop when they reach $40 sale price. Now all you dick riders and hype beast are gonna go to and cop these cuz Kanye rocked em. Bunch of following ass losers. Ima cop before these pop up on ebay for $400 cuz of Kanye
you loser... i did just cop for retail tho! thanks yeezy!
Sometimes the underrated kicks can still be hot. That was always one of my favorite shoes, as a matter of fact I owned two pairs. That OG colorway is fresh.
anyone know who's the chick in the second photo?
Ain't this a bitch, one of the most underrated kicks out there. Used to be so easy to get these, not anymore. Damn you kanye and sneaker news
Ben Stiller: (thinking) I can't believe he wore those same damn pants again! Kanye: (singing in his head in his Brian McKnight voice) Let me show you how your P*ssy works! lol
I can't tell you how happy I was when I saw those on his feet- General releases are usually slept on and get very little shine from celebrities. These are fresh- salute.
i hear you man, they have released so much great stuff this year that has gone pretty much under the radar thus far, these are a perfect example of that.
If people try to resell these with pics saying "Kanye West wore them!" son....
i should have copped these before kanye wore them now whatever mom and pop stores had em are gonna sell out smh
hilarious lol
kanye all up in ol girls cooch wit his eyez...
dang butt!! =)
I bet everybody that don't even know anything about the Flight 89s are gonna cop some now just bc Kanye had them on. TO ALL HYPE BEASTS and FAKE SNEAKER HEADS, IF IT WASN'T FOR THE AIR FLIGHT 89's there would be no Air Jordan 4's.
I kno rite that wut i was gonna say, them sneakers been serious but everybody gonna like em now that kanye wore em
I copped mine immediately after I saw this post.

Kanye let his boy rock his kicks and his pants too. That's that shit I don't like, bang, bang.
