Where are you Yeezy 2?  The answer to that question is exactly where you want to be on April 13th, a date that unlike the previously circulating March drop rumors is being backed by the very retailers that will have the first Nike Air Yeezy 2 in store (with some UK spots claiming they’ll have stock a day earlier on the 12th).  The Wolf Grey and Pure Platinum Air Yeezy 2 is a slightly more aggressive follow-up to the ‘Zen Grey’ Yeezy, this pair undoubtedly more texturally rich than its forebear, but can they produce the same frenzy as the first drops in April 2009?  Will you even have the scratch necessary to wrangle a pair at the $250 MSRP with all the heat that’s dropped earlier this year and more soon to come?!  Another major milestone in what’s shaping up as the single biggest year in the history of sneakerhead culture, you’ll find the ‘Wolf Grey’ Air Yeezy 2 at top-end Nike Sportswear locations like Solebox in Berlin on April 13th, 2012.

Behold the Nike Air Yeezy 2 in all its glory! After countless peeks via paparazzi shots and camera phone pics, we finally get our first set of detailed images of Kanye West’s second Nike shoe. Here we see the Wolf Grey/Pure Platinum colorway from multiple angles and exposing all sorts of goodies like our best look yet at the Horus-inspired tongue logo and some additional Yeezy hieroglyphics on the velcro beneath the the midfoot strap. We also get a better indication of the luxurious upper materials, the Torch mesh in the tongue, the chunky metallic lace tips and a nice crisp view of the Yeezy 2 dustbag seen last night. These are set to hit worldwide retailers like Singapore’s Limited Edt on April 13th, so dig into these pics and you’d better start gameplanning for the release if you’re hoping to get a pair. Stay tuned for more pics and further release information coming soon. via streething
