To be honest, it’s kinda been a while since the last time any public figure was seen rockin’ them Yeezys. Are Kanye and Amber the only ones stepping out in Nike Air Yeezys these days?
The Nike Air Yeezys shoes were launched in April 2009, with the Zen Gray / Charcoal colorway as the first variant of the kicks released, followed by the Black/Black in May and the last one, Net/Net colorway released in June.
Since then, many Hip Hop A-Listers including Kanye West himself, Jay-Z, Common and rising star, Soulja Boy, have been spotted rocking Nike Air Yeezys at major events.

Last week, we reported about Nike releasing two original styles of the Nike Air Yeezy for the Doernbecher Charity auction. With that said, we showed you the Air Jordan VI x Nike Air Yeezy for the Doernbecher Auction earlier today; furthermore, Nike has unleashed yet another original Air Yeezy on eBay in a size 12.
If you recall, this particular Air Yeezy was worn by Kanye West himself during his performance at the 50th annual Grammy Awards. Similar to the aforementioned Air Jordan VI x Nike Air Yeezy, this pair also features an all-black upper; yet, it is done up in 100% leather rather that a mixture of textures. As added features, this shoe also contains a glow-in-the-dark sole and will come in a detailed wooden box. You can place your bid on eBay now.
