Ever since Kanye West exploded onto the scene as a solo artist pushing his College Dropout album, he has been known for his sense of style and his sick shoe game. It's hard to believe Yeezy is a 10-year veteran and arguably one of the biggest hype machines of our generation. Whatever Kanye rocks, people immediately jump online to duplicate the style — act like it isn't you, but we already know. With a third colorway of his second Nike signature shoe set to drop later this year and his new album appropriately titled Yeezus, hitting shelves soon — it only seemed right to do a breakdown of Mr. West's style. Hit the jump to check out Kanye West's Favorite Sneakers: A Year-by-Year Breakdown.
