Top 5 BEST Kanye West Yeezy Sneakers Of All Time

Показать описание

0:00 Intro

THE LIST:
0:28 College Dropout Bapesta
Initial Release Date: 2007
In the late 2000s, when Japanese streetwear was taking over the hip-hop fashion scene, one brand stood above the rest: Nigo’s legendary A Bathing Ape. Before Ye was designing silhouettes from the ground up, he was given the opportunity to put his own twist on the company’s most well-known silhouette, the Bapesta. In 2007, Kanye would partner with Bape to design his “College Dropout” bapestas, featuring the “dropout bear” motif used on his College Dropout and Graduation album artwork.

2:00 Louis Vuitton Jasper & Don
Initial Release Date: 2009
In 2009, West would announce an official collaboration with the luxury fashion house, producing three silhouettes that had been inspired by his closest entourage: Don C, Mr Hudson, and Ibn Jasper. Despite the fact that the partnership had been announced prior to the Nike Air Yeezy 1, the shoes would not be released until after the Yeezy had hit (and flown off) shelves. West and LV would go on to launch 10 colorways across three different models -- hinting at both his design cues and paving the way for the world of streetwear, hip hop and high fashion to merge into the zeitgeist of street culture.

4:45 Adidas Yeezy Boost 750, 350 & 350 V2
Initial Release Date: 2015
After leaving Nike, Kanye was determined to both maintain ownership of his brand and partner with a major distributor under better terms. When executives at Adidas invited him to Germany, West saw the perfect opportunity and signed with the brand in 2013. The new union saw West debuting his clothing and sneakers side-by-side in his first “Yeezy Season” in 2015. West utilized Adidas’ Boost technology to transform trainers into high fashion and make comfort “cool.” The Adidas Yeezy Boost 750 OG (Original) was the first shoe released under Kanye West’s new partnership with Adidas. The pair was released during New York Fashion Week in 2015.

6:40 Nike Air Yeezy 1
Initial Release Date: 2009
After receiving words of encouragement from fashion industry icons like Hedi Slimane, Kanye West developed the confidence to share some of his own sneaker designs with Nike CEO Mark Parker when he found himself on the same plane. Kanye and Nike would go on to formally announce their official partnership in 2007. In 2008, Kanye West shocked the world when he debuted his Nike Air Yeezy 1 at the Grammys, the first shoe released under his contract with Nike. The Air Yeezy 1 marked the first time a non-athlete was given a signature sneaker with Nike--a seismic shift in the sneaker landscape. It was a full-circle moment for West, who had been sketching sneakers on a notepad since the fourth grade. Just like his beats, Kanye remixed elements from the past to create something uniquely new and exciting, eventually releasing the “Blink,” “Zen Grey,” and “Net Tan” colorways in 2009.

8:35 Nike Air Yeezy 2
Initial Release Dates: 2012, 2014
The coming of Kanye’s second shoe with Nike, the Air Yeezy II, is often credited with being his best work to-date. The sneaker world had never seen the likes of a silhouette like this -- a total refresh for the Nike roster. The “Pure Platinum” and “Solar Red” colorways were released in 2012, divided by West Coast and East Coast respectively. Due to the incredible demand for the shoes, the Nike Air Yeezy 2 is credited as a shoe that helped start “sneaker raffles” as a system for selling limited-quantity shoes. The third and most sought-after colorway is known as the illustrious “Red October” pair -- a shoe immortalized in sneaker lore. Pictures and rumors began circulating in 2013 about the all-red colorway, a little over a year after the release of the initial two colorways. After Kanye had announced his departure from Nike, many had assumed the shoe would get shelved. Unbeknownst to, the Red Octobers gained even more notoriety after Nike dropped them as a surprise release via a link on Twitter in February 2014.

Yeezy 2 and the Solar Red Yeezy 2 colorway by extension will always be the best to me! Those were so dope and futuristic for their time!
The design and execution is unmatched imo.
I remember him rocking them in that Birthday song video with 2 chainz 🔥
Man what a time!

Dude 750s are always gonna be a grail, I hate they ignored the shoe it seemed like..

I liked his music back in the day. I even liked his sneakers, but after the stuff he's said I won't be buying anything Kanye anymore. It's not like he's some exec at some company with a million people doing different things. He's the main guy. His stamp is on everything. Buying his stuff in the future will be like saying you don't mind what he's said in my personal opinion. Did he influence the past? For sure. Should he influence the future absolutely not until he apologizes.

The Nike Yeezy 1’s are the best Yeezy’s. Then it’s the Adidas Yeezy 700’s. Then it’s those Bape Yeezy’s.

dardastar

Im from the city and the best album is the college dropout man an album that made me cry "coming home Agin" "and just to get by" grail songs OG.

Sorry those things are Fugly especially that exaggerated sole that flares out I can't stand them. I would rather the least popular Jordans than the best Yeezys made.
