Kanye West has been into sneakers long before he designed the Air Yeezy or signed a deal with adidas. In this rare footage from Kanye's College Dropout tour nearly 10 years ago, the artist is seen putting his personal touches on fellow rapper GLC's adidas ZXZ Leathers. Funny how the rapper is captured making a mark on a pair of adidas runners, seeing that he now has a design partnership with the brand a decade later. In the vintage video, Kanye himself is spotted in a pair of "Olympic" Air Jordan VIIs. See how the rapper turned GLC's kicks into a convertible by fast forwarding to the 4:46 mark.
