Since the public release of the super hot Nike Air Yeezy this April, many celebs have been spotted rocking the Nike and Kanye West-collaborated sneaker…

Read more after the jump!

The shoe, which takes West’s nickname Yeezy, draws upon the innovations from Nike’s rich sporting history and fuses them with original lines, materials, and design elements that reflect West’s unique style.

The remastered Nike Air Assault outsole is treated to glow-in-the-dark properties and will illuminate when the light is low. The forefoot support strap is premium grade patent leather and is of no-stitch construction. Clean seams are used throughout except for a premium suede toe wrap feature with visible stitch detail. Emblazoned across the Air Yeezy is an exclusive “Y” repeat pattern, as either a debossed or lasered detail, which takes inspiration from the Jordan brands iconic Elephant print material.

The sneakers made its first appearance a year ago as part of Kanye’s “Glow in the Dark” touring outfit. The shoes come in many different colors and range from $100-$600 a pair!

  • I’m not impressed. It’s a pastel version of the RT1 with a velcro strap over it and an extended high-top. The RT-1′’s which make a much better statement also retail at $95.00. These shoes are about as confused as their “creator.”
