Recently Sneaker News reported some Air Yeezy 2 release information coming from select sneaker boutiques in Australia, but given the shaky and sensitive nature of the sneaker, the June 9th release date was, to some, ‘tentative’. If you needed some additional signs that the June 9th release is still a ‘go’, perhaps this latest development is a sign that that the Air Yeezy 2 is scheduled to drop on time; a number of celebrities like Fat Joe, Big Tigger, Reg Yates, and DJ Clark Kent received their special VIP pairs in the mail, showing them off for the world to see. It might be rubbing it in our faces, but at least we do know that these are beginning to be seeded out in a timely manner. In addition, Nike Stadium in Paris reported that they will receive both colorways as well. Will you do what it takes to cop the Air Yeezy 2 next Saturday? We’ll keep you up to date regarding a firm list of release locations and guidelines, so feast your eyes on the collection of Air Yeezy 2s below and let us know which of the two colorways you’ll be on the hunt for.

Updates regarding the Air Yeezy 2 release always seem to report a change, but just yesterday, Sneaker News provided you with a simple reminder that Air Yeezy 2 launch is still on schedule for June 9th in Australia. Production numbers are very limited (the entire continent of Australia is getting just 60 pairs total) so you can guess just how crazy the release will be (Nike’s nixing of camp-outs and midnight releases should definitely soothe the tension). While we’ve yet to see detailed images of the Black/Solar Red colorway straight from Nike, these continue to be spotted on the feet of some of Kanye’s and Nike’s VVIP (the extra V is intended); here we get a close-up On-Feet look at the Black/Solar Red joints from Jerry Lorenzo and you can clearly see the amount of detail that was packed into this sensitive project. More shots below, so take a look and stay tuned for more updates on the Air Yeezy 2.

Up until now, the Air Yeezy 2 has strictly been a ‘VIP’ only affair, with fellas by the names of Jay-Z, Shawn Pecas (one of Def Jam’s top dogs), and LeBron James being the very select group of people with the shoes on feet. The release of the Air Yeezy 2 has been subject to change possibly in response to the advanced camp-outs that were reported months before the rumored April 2012 release date, but confirmed data of a June drop later quieted the rumors of a complete cancellation of the much-hyped sneaker release. Since we provided you the info on a June release, not much more has been said regarding the shoe, but this latest update from Australian retailer Laced confirms that the Air Yeezy 2 ETA is right on schedule – June 9th, both colorways.
To get an idea of how limited they will be, the entire continent of Australia will receive sixty total pairs, and Laced will hold their own raffle to ensure a fair shot to those who attend their release party on the night of the release. We’ll keep you updated with more information regarding stateside release details, but keep in mind that June 9th is the target date for this summer blockbuster.

Jay-Z is all about the ‘power moves’ these days, displaying one earlier today as he announced the Made In America Music Festival that will be held in Philadelphia during Labor Day Weekend. There will be twenty-seven musical acts covering a wide range of genres, with HOV acting as the headlining act of the occasion. During the announcement, where he was joined by Mayor of Philadelphia Michael Nutter, Jay-Z wore the Nike Air Yeezy 2 in the ‘Pure Platinum’ colorway, which followed his recent sighting with the Black/Pink counterpart. We’ve got more of Jay-Z in these apparent VIP-only sneakers after the jump so take a look and stay tuned for more updates regarding the most enigmatic sneaker release of 2012! Photos: yahoo

Pretend for a moment that instead of copping pairs of his supremely collectible Nike Basketball signature series, that you are LeBron James. What kind of kicks would you wear off court to turn heads? Turns out, it’s an answer to which nearly every sneakerhead will at least aspire this spring, as Bron Bron broke out the Nike Air Yeezy 2 during the presser following Sunday’s loss in New York. King James’ red trousers are arguably the more attention grabbing item from this particular ensemble; did he wear the Yeezy 2 right or is his latest Celebrity Feet effort similar to the game on which he’s pictured commenting? Let us know when you click through for more images and stick with Sneaker News for the Air Yeezy 2 release date. Photos: Jim Ice

Has there ever been a sneaker cake of a shoe that hasn’t even released yet? While it’ll take some elbow grease to get your hands on a pair of the Air Yeezy 2 once it finally releases (tentatively set for June, but who knows what’ll happen), Eddie and Rich of Cake Doggy Dog answered the prayers of one their clients by creating an Air Yeezy 2 cake sitting above a Kaws-inspired platform. The most impressive part of this project was that the architects of this cake likely had nothing else but pictures on the internet to guide them with the design, and there’s no question that they did a phenomenal job with just limited resources. From the snakeskin detailing on the heel panel to the Horus logo on the tongue, this Air Yeezy 2 cake doesn’t leave a single detail behind, which is a testament to Cake Doggy Dog’s art-driven backgrounds. A gallery of the Air Yeezy 2 sneaker cake is just below so take a look and let us know what you think!

The release of the Air Yeezy 2 is as cloudy as ever, but if you’re part of Kanye’s inner circle, a release date is never a thing to worry about. Shawn Pecas, who tweeted one of the earliest photos of the Pure Platinum Air Yeezy 2, now shows off the full set of known Air Yeezy 2 colorways as he mixes and matches on this Friday afternoon, leaving the sneaker world in a fit of envy right before the weekend officially starts. Now that we see them side-by-side, which of the two do you like better? The ‘classic’ Black/Pink, or the newer Pure Platinum joints?

Barring any other postponement or cancellation, the June release of the Nike Air Yeezy 2 will likely be the biggest sneaker release of the year, causing Nike to go into a tailspin by completely overhauling its sneaker release procedures in preparation of the release. Sneaker News has done its best to keep you updated with release information and developments, and with the latest issue of Sneaker Freaker featuring the Air Yeezy 2 on its cover, the scheduled June release looks a bit more concrete than it did one day ago. However, Sneaker Freaker presents the Air Yeezy 2 in a slightly altered format, compressed into a six-sided cube with each facade showcasing the details of the sneaker. You can snag your copy of Sneaker Freaker here so check out the full cover with Sneakercube Yeezy below and stay tuned for more updates!
