Nike has released its Nike Air Yeezy II shoes, a model of sneakers that has been delayed for some time. The shoe, which Kanye West has discussed for the past year, was released as a surprise today (February 9).
The release was announced in a Nike Twitter post. “The Nike Air Yeezy 2 is now available,” Nike’s verified Twitter account said. Eleven minutes after the initial announcement, Nike’s account updated its followers about the shoe’s availability. “The Nike Air Yeezy 2 has sold out on http://Nike.com.”
In November 2013, Kanye West spoke about frustrations with Nike regarding the shoe’s availability. “They try to act like people ain’t line up for the Yeezys,” Kanye West said, speaking about the sneaker’s first installment. “[Nike CEO] Mark Parker tried to son me. Yes. Son me because I am the sun and I will shine bright. And when I don’t have as much money as a billionaire and when I don’t have the factories that, that dude has over there, what I do have is my voice. Ain’t no corporation that can take me away from my voice and I’m going to scream at the top of my motherfucking mountain as loud as I want. Anything I want. Whenever I want. Is that crazy? So I’m going to make the announcement on Monday with the corporation that finally let me get an opportunity to create.”
Kanye West later announced that he had signed a deal with adidas and he also apologized to Nike for his comments about the company.
“I really feel honored to have had the chance to blow Yeezy [sneakers] up with Nike,” West said in an interview with I Am Tall Boy. “I really appreciate everything they did for me. I’m not knocking them on the way out or burning no bridges. I apologize for my frustration earlier.”
Nike’s Twitter updates regarding the Air Yeezy 2 sneakers can be seen below.
Thay are dope shoes man
Sure, if you’re marching the a gay pride parade.
So what… they made 5 pair?
those are butt fugly
How Sway? How?
how the hell they sell out in 11 min
Because there were none for sale in the first place.
Not the kind of sneakers i will spend my $$ on.
I call bullshit..people at Nike swooped them up.
im gonna cop some to sell to hypebeasts on ebay for 10x the retail value which happens to be 10000 times the sweatshop child labor value
fiddy cant get an album out but kanye got a nike show.
and once again Kanye West copies Lil Wayne…. since Lil Wayne ghostproduced and ghostwrote 808s and Heartbeak, this bum ass nigga thinks he is Weezy… lmao. swag
yeah weezus was the original gay rapper. lil wayne was kissing guys and wearing his daughters jeans long before yeezus ever got the idea to wear a skirt.
“ghostproduced”? lmao
Ask Diddy and Dr. Dre bout that shit….
Hahahaha!!!! So fucking ugly!! LOL!!! You can barely even see the NIKE sign, Nike must have been so embarrassed…they’re so happy to finally get this shit over with. EPIC FAIL!!! Surprised they’re not pink.
lol….is that a Stegosauraus back?
Godzilla back
Looks like a ripoff of those 2015 shoes I tried on, except these shoes don’t tie themselves #LAME #WeOuttaHere #BACK2THEFUTURE
Cant believe you didn’t tap your hot mommas ass
well played sir…make sure you snatch that Sports Almanac….
Looks like something a cartoon character would wear. It might look good in a music video, but in real life you would look mad funny walking down the street in those :/
thats the whole point. so the gay people can spot each other and know who to fuck in the butt.
anyone who callin them shoes ‘gay’ just hatin cause they know it’ll take them three paychecks to even get to afford these kicks
It would also take me three paychecks to buy a super-sparkly platinum ball gown….but that doesn’t mean heterosexual men should buy it just because it’s available.
When did anyone say “I can’t afford these”?
All we said was “These are ugly and gay as fuck”
anyone who buys these is a fool.
the gay macklemore fan is mad we’re making fun of his new shoes
This is the equivalent of a man wearing a sparkly ball gown on their feet.
IT AIN’T RALPH THOUGH
HOW SWAY
ok kanye these dope as fuck… good look but stick to shoes not clothes.
Only gays people will buy them! at least Lil Wayne and Macklemore dress as straight males do. swag
Lil Wayne? The guy who wore leopard print tights to an award show? I think you have it twisted.
Only people in America and Japan are into these types of shoes. No other country rocks these. Just incase you thought the whole world was into these ugly shits.
That goes for Lebrons Air Jeezys AND .. yes Jordan’s too.
wer im from u get a beatdown for wearing these gay as fuk
they failed at what they tried to do with the back.
Heinous. An absolutely lame ass design. And as for Kanye’s comments, the dude has never once acted as though he’s someone who’s came from the bottom. Never an ounce of humility or graciousness. You would think these would be abundant traits in someone who alleges they from the hood and now can appreciate being on top of the pyramid. Dude is a joke.
While most of you complain about how they look gay, imagine if you did buy a pair? You could make 10,000 dollars off a pair of these shoes by selling them to some dumb rich kids who are Kanye West fans. Someone paid 90,000 dollars for a pair off e bay for the original yeezy 2’s. LOL
great to imagine but most normal people wont even get a chance to buy them… meanwhile they’re gonna give them out to rich ass rappers and celebrities for free
Yo go on ebay right fucking now and they are already in the thousands of dollars range….in hours..
Dumb fucks
this bitches hard,and FUCK NIKE..AND FUCK YALL HATING..
This is the opposite of hard. Fashionistas wear these, not men. You have some weird culture if you think these are hard, bruh.
I actually think the design is hot but you just could NOT be out n about wearing these. Would be nicer in a diff colour too aint no self respecting man rockin these
yea let’s just have the red octobers in a non-red color, nigga is you stupid?
How many pairs did they have? 5, 10 tops. The Kardasdhians and Kanye probably bought all of them just so people would think everybody wanted them.
Around 6000
Them shits gonna look sexy as hell with muh leather jogging pants
You’ll look pretty all covered in shit.
And happen to be one of the few who…..Gottem’ Coach!!!
What a waste of money that was for you, I feel bad
shits clean ass hell
I hope these comments are sarcastic… These are not cool. I am not a space man.
Then you must be a cave man living under a rock if you don’t think these shits are dope
Why was he crying about the shoemaking industry then?
because he’s a big fat baby
Those are some bad ass sneakers
Hideous
What tha fuck is it this nigga birthday today, how many Kardashian stories do we need?
people are going crazy over these ugly ass shoes
i gotta admit i would rock the fuck out of them yeezys
rock them right to the trashbin
Take away whatever they did to the back and put the strap at the ankle and we can talk. Meanwhile I’m looking for a pair of the remaining 40 belows released.
wish the fuck i would pay for these shits.i dont even buy his albums (as talented as he is) let alone his damn shoes
If you call shit tallented. Then buy away.
