Nike Air Yeezy

We’ve been hearing about these for a while but, this spring, Hip-Hop’s foremost fashion expert, Kanye West, will finally have a pair of Nikes sporting his name.

Ye’ is stepping up his shoe game with the “Nike Air Yeezy,” a shoe that “draws upon the innovations from Nike’s rich sporting history and fuses them with original lines, materials, and design elements that reflect West’s unique style.”

The Air Yeezys will be available in three color patterns, each to be released a month apart.

The Zen Grey and Light Charcoal painted Yeezy will be released in April followed by the Black on Black in May and finally, the Net/Net (beige) combo in June.

The price tag for the shoes is said to be in the range of $200-$300, but no official numbers have been released yet.

Mr. West also has a line of Louis Vuitton kicks in the works which made waves when they debuted to the fashion world last fall.

iM HAPPY FOR MR. WEST FOR BEING THE FIRST RAPPER WITH HIS OWN NIKE SHOE(AS FAR AS IM CONCERNED). WHATS MORE IMPRESSIVE IS THAT THE KICKS ARE ACTUALLY PRETTY DOPE. IM NOT TO SURE ON THE COLORWAYS BUT THE STYLE IS HOT. MY BEEFS WITH THE ESTIMATED PRICE TAG. ITS CRAZY! WE IN A RECESSION, WHICH IS THE REASON THESE WOULD PROB. NOT BE PART OF MY COLLECTION. MAYBE NEXT TIME.
pS. I DO NOT AGREE WITH MR. wEST BEING A FASHION EXPERT.
DONE!!

Honestly, I think the color scheme coulda been different. When I think of Kanye I think eccentric, yet conserative. N well these colors are pretty bland. So Mr. West if you reading this, I luv ur work n think ur extremely creative, please let ur creativity be displayed in ur line of sneakers. Mad Luv frm Afghanistan…
