*UPDATE*
Kanye’s been rocking these joints on tour. Pictured here is the Black Gray and Red colorway. 1 Word — SICK. They also look like they have that glow in the dark coating on them which.

Yes. You heard right. Kanye is working with Nike on a custom sneaker. Kanye wore them during his performance at the Grammy’s. I think they’re looking pretty dope as prototypes especially considering he is actually designing them himself (I hear he was a visual artist before picking up the pen and the MPC). But I know, everybody from Sneaker heads to grandmas are going to be rocking these. To me they’re kind of a Supra NS Trinity meets Jordan III’s type of deal. Nike has always been about improving the performance, so I guess it’s no shock that Kanye is applying their ideals to his stage performance.

Damn…I was wondering what those were!
As soon as his grammy performance was over I hit the web to find some close shots. no luck. At the end of the day I just figured they were some designer/boutique type joints. Wrong!!!
Great find, man!
Yeah man, I just thought they were the Supra Trinitys from what I could tell in the performance. But these joints are 10x doper.
hmmm….interesting…
let’s see if dude can make a hot series of sneakers.
he just might…
Yeah, I don’t think Kanye can’t NOT make a dope sneaker. (That’s a triple negative!!!)
I think they’ll come out aight though.
Kanye is comin out with his own clothing line its called Pastelle I wonder if he is going to design shoes
Yeah, Pastelle should pretty dope, even though I can’t really picture myself rocking, powder blue/banana sweaters. We’ll see…
no me gusta.
