Is it possible to release a line of your own kicks with the biggest sportswear brand in the world AND a separate range with the biggest luxury fashion brands in the world at almost the same time? It shouldn’t be, but tell that to Kanye West, who is set to launch his much anticipated Air Yeezy sneaker with Nike soon, as well as his own range of kicks with Luis Vutton later this Summer.
The Nike Air Yeezy is a totally new sneaker designed by Kanye and legendary Nike Creative Director, Mark Smith. The kicks take inspiration from various basketball shoes from Nike’s back catalogue, and fuses them together in typical Kanye style. We get the big flappy strap, high cut silhouette, and if you look close enough you’ll see that what appears to be cement print is actually a whole load Ys jumbled up together.
The Zen Grey/Light Charcoal colourway will be the first to be released, keep your eyes peeled as their said to drop soon and numbers are limited. Also, stay tuned for more news on Kanye’s Luis Vutton range.
