For some time now, Nike has held fans at the edge of their seats in anticipation of their Air Yeezy’s, a shoe to be released in a partnership with Kanye West. As the release date gets closer, it seems fans will be lining up outside of some Footlocker locations for these sneakers.

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.”

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CPLPUN/ CPLPUN

    $200? This is the reason why kids rob each other over kicks. When are these a-holes gonna realize that the people they market their shoes toward can’t afford them? F**k Kanye and his over priced shoe.

    I will stick with my suede pumas and shell toe addias both under a hundred.

    Some people got more dollars than sense, maybe this recession might knock some sense into them.

    I fail to see the need for a $200.00 pair of shoes. I guess the economy is not affecting him. We should spend our money on our needs not to align Mr. West’s pockets. Thanks, but no thanks.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/NtelligentlyInclined/ NtelligentlyInclined

    I’m with Armf on this one. Yea they alright looking, but I’m not giving my hard earned $200 to Kanye West. Just not happening; and he should be ashamed to be selling them for that amount considering the economy. The urban community is going to be wearing them more than anyone and he thinks so much of them that he made his shoe damn near unaffordable? If you got $200 to waste on them then more power to you; however, YOUR GIRL is boycotting.

    Well my baby is sittin outside right now and i will be next to him ASAP. “If you see it you want it, buy em own it”. Stop it ppl we pay too much for a lot of items in life but hey if you got it and your able then what’s the problem?!? Live for today, you’re never promised tomorrow

    i get my shoes on clearance for $50 while this person gets 1 for 200. i can switch and stay fresh when these start to get scuff marks on it i break out the closet with a new pair. think about it.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ThaJ/ ThaJ

    If they won’t be in the clearance aisle or I can’t use a $150.00 coupon well Mr Kanye luv your music but your shoes are ridiculously overpriced and hell plain for $200 these outta transform hell these should be comin straight from Cybertron
