We have seen these shoes on Kanye West’s feet time and time again, but never any clear photos. Now, you can finally get a good look at the Nike Air Yeezy.

The black version uses a lot of different textures for a pretty sweet look, but I’m not fond of the beige shoe. Here’s the details:

“The Air Yeezy is inspired by Kanye’s love for high top designer shoes, drafting from the collar molding seen in the Air Jordan V and featuring a thin midfoot strap hardly meant for support. While originally conceptualized atop a Dunk midsole, the final version of the Yeezy features the familiar shared tooling from the Jordan III and Air Revolution, which most recently was also featured on Jordan Brand’s Spiz’ike and a lesser known model that deservedly flew under the radar, the Flight 48. It’s also the bulkiness of the shoe’s tongue that stands out most, with West always opting to pop the tongue and leave the waxed laces loosely tied. An ode to his tour, the model’s outsole also actually glows in the dark, as similar to a common glow stick, if the shoe is held near light, the familiar green glowing hue will radiate afterwards out from under the shoe. This black/glow colorway features a ridiculously high quality full grain leather along the heel quarter, with rich suede making up the toe and midfoot overlays and patent leather highlighting the dominant midfoot strap.” Via Solecollector.

These Puma Disc Blaze x Goonies sneakers make us wanna to the Truffle Shuffle. They come in an awesome pirate bag that would make One-Eyed Willie jealous to the bone. Enough references to the movie, you can grab these joints at Overkill in the very near future. Avast me hearties!

It’s actually patent leather in a quilted pattern; that’s pretty hard to do. The Nike Dunk High Quilted Patent Pack is very bright and loud, but that’s fine for a pair of sneakers. The black pair is subtle, but if you’re looking to be noticed slip on the blue or red. Just don’t wear it […]
