Browsing the "Air Yeezy" Category

The Air Yeezy is a collaborative sneaker created by the team up of rapper/producer Kanye West and Nike. To date there are two separate versions of the Nike Air Yeezy, with the first releasing in 2009 and the Nike Air Yeezy 2 releasing in 2012. Each colorway has been met with wild anticipation, massive lineups, and eventual sellout success.

Nike Air Flight ’89 iD “Yeezy 2″

For many, NikeiD makes it possible to conjure up colorways that are otherwise too difficult to secure in the model they initially inhabit. It’s really quite genius when you think about the implications of substitution. For instance, there is an extremely small community of sneaker enthusiasts with a pair of Nike Air Yeezy 2′s (even slimmer when you think about those with more than one pair). So to mimic those colorways over another shoe is quite vindicating, especially the Yeezy’s and the Solar Red scheme of the shoe is arguably the best. Similarly, Kanye not only made his shoe popular during his tenure with Nike, he worked his influence on several others, including the Nike Air Flight ’89. Today we see that very same shoe fused with the colorway initiated by his signature model. While this make-up may not be anything new, or something you couldn’t do on Nike’s creative iD platform right now, it’s still cool to look at. See for yourself after the break.

Is this a first look at the Kanye West x adidas Yeezi? There are rumors that an unveiling is going down this Holiday 2014 season, but not even a pencil sketch of the shoe has ever been seen – until now. This photo was apparently snapped on a plane with Kanye on board, and this first look shows a high-cut silhouette with a midfoot strap, high lace collar, a ridged midsole construction, and what appears to be an opening on the medial side (perhaps like a city chukka boot for easy slip-on). We’ll have more info on the Kanye’s latest version of his Yeezy sneakers with adidas and let us know what you think about this first look below.

Shane Victorino’s All-White Nike Air Yeezy 2 Customs

October 20th, 2014 by staff | No comments

Even though Kanye West is now far removed from the Swoosh by way of Three Stripes, his presence with Nike remains through the work he left behind. Though little needs to be said about the influence those two silhouettes have had on sneaker culture, that’s due in large part because words can’t always express the gratitude actions do. By that we mean customs, the ultimate in footwear flattery. Today Relevant Customs revealed a luxe take on the Nike Air Yeezy 2 for Boston Red Sox outfielder Shane Victorino; this monochrome pair incorporates premium materials including white ostrich, white python and white lizard, all of which add a unique layer to this unrelenting custom. Finished with a white midsole and Air Unit, its safe to say Victorino has one of the best Air Yeezy 2 customs around. Do you agree? Take a look below and let us know.
