DJ AM’s Nike Air Yeezy Sneakers
by L.A. Ruano, December 30, 2008

After having checked out the full length version of Nike’s newest promotional commercial for the Zoom Kobe IV, we get a closer look at the highly anticipated Air Yeezy’s. The kicks are probably the most hyped up Nike sneakers to date, due to clever marketing by the corporate giant. We’ll wait and see if the released version remains true to form, much like these DJ AM specials.

i like them but i just dont know if id be willing to buy them
I can see AJ III’s shoe sole on them.
seriously air yeezy? wtf kanye is the biggest hypebeast out there and he sucks at singing stick to rapp homie and stop making your ugly ass shoes and pastelle shitty clothing brand, later noobs
I think the hype point is if Kanye wasn’t behind these they would sit at the outlets. They’re ugly. They are fashion in the form of being a follower, not in the sense of good aesthetics.
I think someone hit on it above, but hey basically take the no talent competitor formula of copy some aspect of a classic jordan (the midsole) through some crazy colors at it and fatten it up. In a twisted way, it’s kinda genius… why let the competitors have all the fun ripping off your classic designs…
HEY PETER, I THINK YOUR MOM IS CALLING YOU FOR DINNER. REALLY HOW OLD ARE YOU? YOUR LENGTHY INSIGHT JUST PROVES HOW MUCH OF A TOOLBAG YOU ARE! DONT GET MAD AT THESE KIDS, THEY CANT EVEN SPELL GOOD(HAHA). BY THE WAY, THESE KANYE SNOW BOOTS ARE STRAIGHT GARBAGE JUST LIKE HIS GARBAGE MUSIC.
“Im not gonna buy these, they’re to crazy for me. I still think its funny that peter is on a website called mothafuckin HYPEbeast telling people not to buy into hype. That’s what they are here for dummy.”
^ Umm. You must not know your history holmes. Let alone hypebeast’s history. I go on this site not because of the hype idioto, but because it’s a generally good site that blogs about clothing. Sometimes there are actually decent looking items on here, and some..not so.
Now, your very exact comment is a perfect, solid piece of evidence of what is wrong with street wear today. So you are telling me people come onto to this site to “buy into hype?” You gotta be kidding me. People, just like me, come on this site to look at clothes/kicks. We don’t come on this site to buy into hype son. Please don’t tell me you come on this site to buy into hype do you kid? Next thing, you’d be one of those idiots who believe everything they read on a wiki. Know and develop your own, original steez. If these weren’t Nikes, would you even give them a glance? I didn’t think so.
corny..
Kanye is even over these.
these shoes will go perfectly with my tight jeans and my belly-button ring. After i get my hair permed and get that tight sweater, i will be “elvis” of the new year.
most overhyped/ugliest shoe ever…and the worst thing about it….it havent even dropped yet
omg. thoes r so fuckin. mr.west is the man, but in not that stupid to rock a pair of theses period
this sucks. regardless of the hype. that just makes them suck more. lol at that guy posting his myspace!
i like the shoes but i hate kanye so fukk that! it would b better if its just nike something. and not air yeezy or w/e.
Mike Epps playing basketball in McFly’s??
I’m with Played out’s statement – we all know by now that their going to reserve the better releases for limited quick strikes at certain locations ala McFly Hyperdunk. But when, not if, they release these in March – we’ll probably just see some plain colorways like the Hyperdunk has – and if they’ll actually having glowing soles or not, something tells me they won’t – though the swoosh should and if as reported is true, the “lace bubble” will too. Time will tell, I just wish it’d hurry itself up!
and the hypebeast of the year award goes to ^^eddie^^. They are decent but hype kills. btw kanye is not the epitome of fashion for all the people who sucked him off!!
^^ -_-
anyways.. dope shoe, I buy what i like and dont give in to the hype, and dont let anyone tell me otherwise. cant wait for these to drop
Im not gonna buy these, they’re to crazy for me. I still think its funny that peter is on a website called mothafuckin HYPEbeast telling people not to buy into hype. That’s what they are here for dummy.
Funny thing is that Nike is releasing a shoe that is basically their own knock off version of these snowboard boots. A cheaper looking version of this shoe releasing sometime in spring.
Ima do anything to get those.. I’m prepared to suck someones dick at Nike!
i’ve never responded to these comments but after reading the endless nonsense from those who submit words such as “iz”, “wen” and “famlee”… Please stop. Ready the smart comment from “Played out” and seriously think about what you’re spending you’re money on.
I dont give a fuck john McCain endorsed these sneakers they are hot fire. They look like Air jordans + Clae + Creative recs + Diors in a blender. If you dont like them, then to each his own but dont knock em’ just cuz of “hype.” Look @ the Jordan brand collezion pack. Most of those packs flopped and had major hype. Oh yeah E Major, & Peter if your tired of HYPED Products then DONT VISIT HYPEBEAST.COM any more. Hence the term HYPEbeast you fugazies!

these r must have for any sneakerhead
Here is what is going to happen. Foot Locker will get a special colorway. Finish Line will get a special colorway. Dr. Jays will get a special colorway. Fakes will appear, and already have…look a Fat Joe’s entourage…(that fool had the nerve), UNDFTD will get 48 pairs and sell 30 and fuck everyone over like they always do, and then there will be the Yeezy Lo’s….and then there will be some whack colorway that no one understands except for the Easter Bunny and the guy who thinks pink polos are still hot….Much hype for Nike to destroy something that could be decent. This shoe was dead before it hits….
^perfectly put. snowboard boots…
I can’t believe Kanye is the perfect hype TOOL to get you guys all worked up over these snowboard boots. Air bootseezy is more like it. Peace out!
Ugh.. enough. Enough with the Air Yacky and enough with the ghetto english comments.
must must must must have
Not a good look for those size 11 and above. Air Sasquatch!!!!!!!
You guys gotta be kidding me right? All those comments up there? Seems like the only one up there with sense is E Major. You kids buy into hype so much, you have completely lost your sense of style, thus severely limiting your freedom to choose what you really like. REALLY…look the shoes.
O yea sleek style iz played out and itz hi-tops 4ever!
E Major think about the kicks out now, Everybody wears blazers and they were out for a min b4 everybody was wearing them. This Sneaker iz going to do Air Jordan numbers like wen they droppd in the 90s type shii. Im getting a pair and im going to crush them. The fact remainz that Yeezy got the illest style in the game and Pastelle will sell out. The name iz Gray-I.C.E just wait wen u hear about me and see me on T.V. Im 1 of the illest wit the wordplay not on yet. No disrespect Famlee
yea dude, the colorway way is prett nice, but daayum these are bulky… these should be calle the Air Chunky
Am I the only one that thinks these shoes suck? The hype was built up so much and to me they’re just moon boots. The sleeker styles are what’s good right now and these shoes have been getting hyped for so long that they’re out of style.
when is the expected release month on these?
Putting them on kanye west is great marketing?
fucc i want those!!
Robocop
dose look preety nice i got 2 get my cash up 4 dese
These are retarded. I can’t wait to get my hands on a pair of these
