Quick disclaimer: These are just for viewing purposes. Do not purchase, unless you want some Air Fugeezy’s in your stash. We’ve previewed the upcoming Nike Air Yeezy 2 on the feet of Kanye West, but unfortunately, we have yet to see basic profile image of the sneaker. The counterfeit sneaker game is fairly on top with upcoming sneaker designs, so here we have a collection of sure-fire fakes that represent the Air Yeezy 2 quite well. It’s fairly consistent with what we’ve seen thus far, with the exception of the perforated midfoot strap shown in our most recent preview of the Air Yeezy 2. Some of the colorways below are to be expected, the others? Not so much. Again, we emphasize that these should not be purchased through any online retailer, but take a look below to get a better idea of what the Air Yeezy 2 will look like, and be sure to stick with Sneaker News for all your authentic Yeezy 2 updates!

No disrespect to the Nike Air Yeezy 2, but it looks like it won’t take the crown as the Number 1 sneaker of 2011. That honor will go to the Nike Mag 2011, but the Air Yeezy 2 was certainly a strong frontrunner to capture the annual crown. Here’s another closer look at the Nike Air Yeezy 2 that Kanye West wore during the 2011 MTV VMAs; these clearer shots give you a better idea of the overall construction of the shoe, which features a slightly lower cut, completely different tooling, and a stylized panel on the medial midfoot strap. Check out the extra shots from Kanye West’s MTV VMA performance and be sure to stick with Sneaker News for more information on this upcoming release. via MTV/NT.

Late last night, Sneaker News gave you a look at the ‘Zen Grey’ colorway of the Nike Air Yeezy 2 that Kanye West wore to the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards and now we get a slightly crisper look at the shoe that will no doubt be causing campout hysteria when they finally release. Kanye was spotted with the new colorway while co-accepting the award for Best Collaboration and Best Special Effects for his part his ‘E.T.’ with Katy Perry as well during his live performance of ‘Otis’ with Jay-Z. The ‘Zen Grey’ colorway of the Nike Air Yeezy 2 features the familiar grey upper with the filament green outsole and a bright orange/pink inner lining, similar to the Zen Grey colorway of original Air Yeezy. We’ve got more images of the Air Yeezy 2 Zen Grey below so take a peek and stick with Sneaker News for all your Air Yeezy 2 coverage.

One sneaker we’ve all been looking forward to is the Nike Air Yeezy 2, the follow-up to undoubtedly one of the most popular shoes of the past decade and certifiably a historically significant sneaker in the storied Nike catalog. It’s not a performance shoe nor did it feature any new state-of-the-art Nike tech engineering, but it’s their first signature shoe released for a non-athlete. Sneaker News gave you a first look at the Air Yeezy 2, which was first seen in the The Black Mamba short film, and we gave you a second helping of it when Kanye wore them during his performance at Coachella 2011. That Black/White/Mint Green colorway – should it release – will be a definite hit, but here’s a look at an apparent sample of the Black/Pink colorway of the Air Yeezy 2 spotted by Deftronic in an excerpt of Jay-Z and Kanye West’s ‘Watch The Throne’ Documentary. The video has since been taken off YouTube, so check out a closer look at the Air Yeezy 2 in the never-before-seen Black/Pink colorway after the jump, and stick with Sneaker News for all your Nike Air Yeezy 2 updates.
