Producer/Rapper Kanye West has taken the music industry and world by storm since he stepped onto the scene back in 2003. Mr. West has been critically acclaimed for his soulful beats and ground-breaking songs by listeners worldwide. He is looked up to as an artist by many in the industry and has grown into one of the biggest stars in hip hop today. Not only is Kanye known for his music, he is also known for his keen fashion sense. The Louis Vuitton Don has become a fashion icon and has started many trends. With his ability to set trends, Nike collaborated with Kanye to create his own sneaker, the Air Yeezy.
The Air Yeezy was made specifically for and by Kanye. He was the one who designed the shoe; Nike went out and made the Air Yeezy a reality. There are a few similarities to previous iconic Nikes that were released in the past, which are seen in the Air Yeezy. The first similarity that stands out is the fact that the Air Yeezy has the same midsole as the Air Jordan III. Next is the tounge on the Air Yeezy. It has the same exact shape as the tongue of the Air Jordan V. There is also a strap that goes over the forefoot of the Air Yeezy, which was used abundantly back in the early and mid 90’s with other Nike sneakers. One cool feature that he decided to include on his shoe was a glow-in-the-dark sole, which went along with the title of his tour. There is no word yet if these shoes will be released to the public, but if they do indeed hit retailers, you can bet that I will be trying to get my hands on a pair!
