I’m still on the fence about these. There are elements & influences in the design that I like and dislike simultaneously. The suede toebox & soles inspired by the early Jordans = dopeness. But the bulked up look of the shoe reminds of the Double Team Highs that my cousin Fats used to wear in the 80’s.
But I guess we really don’t have to worry about that…
And while West has perhaps the oddest following of male groupies willing and eager to take on whatever his next trend may be, whether it’s an outlandish set of non-functional glasses, a slim fitting cardigan or skinny jeans and high top sneakers, for now the Air Yeezy will remain a sample made just for West in his size twelve and isn’t planned to release. Sorry fanboys.
I’ll bet anyone a shiny nickel that a few pairs of these end up on eBay before all is said & done.

I don’t ever see “game”, or “skills” in terms of basketball when I look at Kanye.
I could very well be 100% wrong…Jus’sayin
Yea those got Kanye alll over it, Shit they even look like a “K”
There’s some Euro influence in the design but it just looks mad bulky to me. Prolly works well w/jeans…well, baggier jeans, not them tight shits lol.
kinda glad they haven’t been released…as for the kaws..wtf dem shits r @ 2 g’s
agreed Gottyâ„¢, too bulky around the toe, strap, & ankle.
if those were rocked w/ skinny jeans, they’d look like 2 black cement blocks
mo money mo shoes

At least this is a better colorway than the others that have been shown. Those cream colored joints make me wanna throw up.
