It's here, after Nike enthusiasts waited for months, Kanye West's collaboration with the shoe giant are here -- the Air Yeezy's.
"Nike is such an important brand to me," Kanye said in a statement released last month on Nikepedia. "Whether you are on the court, in the street, in the club, at school, Nike represents excellence, the standard in design.
"Growing up, we looked forward to the release of new Nike's the way we would an album by our favorite artist. So the opportunity to collaborate on a design with Mark Smith and Nike Design has been a dream come true, and a great experience," he continued.
The first colorways of the show went on sale on Saturday (April 4) at select stores across the country for the retail price of $215.
Shoe fanatics have been camped out in front of sneaker stores carrying the Yeezy's before the release date. As of Monday (April 6), many stores have told us they are sold out.
However, if you're really in need of a pair, there are several on eBay, ranging from $550 to $600 and up. Beware of imposters though, so purchasing them over the internet is at your own risk.
