The Nike Air Yeezy 2 already stands as one of the hardest to find sneakers out there on the secondary market thanks to the frenzy that their limited release this summer whipped up. Registering as even more coveted for any Kanye West fan is this autographed pair (and worn by ‘Ye) of the Nike Air Yeezy 2 ‘Solar Red’. The pair features his signature across the scaly side panel along with a curious little drawing in the same silver marker (cue the Illuminati symbol speculation).

We’ve seen how stuntin’ in Nike Air Yeezy 2s can literally extend to skateboarding, but what about a world-class tennis match in this Air Tech Challenge-soled lifestyle blockbuster? Nike Tennis star and arguably the greatest to ever pick up a racquet, Roger Federer wasn’t smashing aces in the ‘Solar Red’ Air Yeezy 2, but was instead spotted holding court in London with his wife Mirka, getting comfy with the British fog in advance of next week’s Wimbledon start. Federer is known for having some of the most technically advanced sneakers on the market but this is the first we’ve seen of him in our Celebrity Feet feature; might this appearance be the kind of thing he needs, or will Andre Agassi’s sneaker legacy remain untopped? Have a closer look at Fed in the Yeezy 2 and let us know who you think has rocked it best so far. via Zimbio
