nike air yeezys









these are the most expensive kicks i own, that i actually wear.
nike air yeezys. designed by kanye west, these dropped in spring 2009

the main upper is black leather with 'y's etched into it, the tongue is perforated black leather, there is a grey suede toe piece and a black neoprene front section.








i've worn these once a week or so since i bought them and i would honestly
say that i each time i step out, at least one person compliments me on them.
i wore them in tokyo for 4 days last year and had people taking photos of them.
i have never even seen another pair of these in real life.
you should try to find a pair on ebay. there are loads of fakes out there but if you spot a 
genuine pair the price is big...
aha ! i just found a pair... in my size too ! 







the details are pretty decent. the main thing is that the soles glow in the dark.
also the 'y' for yeezy appears all over them.
etched 'y's in the leather






and also on the patent leather velcro strap







the lace stay is also in the shape of a 'y'
with yeezy engraved into it.






the word 'yeezy ' is also embroidered onto the loop at the top of the heel
personally i think the pink trim was a big mistake and i prefer the colourway
of the first release, which is mainly grey with an orange trim.






here's another view of the side of the black yeezy
i think it's hard to make these look as good in photos as they look in real life.
honestly, they look pretty stunning on... or perhaps not ?

  1. These are amazing! I'm one of those weird people who sleeps with amazing new purchases and these would make such a good cuddle...
