The Inspiration Behind Kanye’s Nikes?

Since the Grammy’s, news of a Kanye West x Nike collab has had the hype circuit buzzing, and last week close-up shots hit the web. While most of the sneaker-obsessed blogs simply showed the new silo, one enthusiastic shoe-head took the time to map out ‘Ye’s alleged inspiration. Although this in no way confirms Kanye’s thought process, it seems to be spot on given West’s past sneaker rocking habits. The Louis Vuitton Don went ga-ga over the Ato Cow Hide Boots in 07, consistently flosses multiple pairs of the Bape Roadstas, and has always been a fan of classic Js. As it stands now, Nike plans to keep release information about the sneaker under wraps until after August. Stay tuned.

hope they’re worth the hype

if them are the Air Yeezy’s them is pretty fly. They make the Birdman Lugz look like crap, but truthfully the lugz look like crap before anyways
