Not only does the Watch The Throne tour promise to deliver heavy hitting collaborative tracks every night, but it will afford us sneaker lovers a better look at Kanye‘s latest sartorial collaboration. It’s no secret that the inception of the Nike x Kanye Air Yeezy was a success. The teaser shots and eventual release in three distinct color ups proved to be blog fodder for over a year, and it looks as if round two will be more of the same. Feast your eyes on the most detailed images of the Nike Air Yeezy 2 to date, both above and below, and allow me to delve into the delicacies. While the overall construct is similar to the Nike Air Yeezy in that it’s a high top with a visible air unit and pronounced strap, the kick definitely bears a more futuristic look. While Kanye has pushed the limits of his own design chops this year with the release of his Fashion line Dw, the Nike Air Yeezy line continues to be his stylistic calling card. Both the strap and the heel sport a layered, wavelike look which compliments what looks to be a scaled and suede upper. Keeping Kanye‘s penchant for All of the Lights in mind, I’d bet my last peso that the greenish mid sole glows when the lights go out. Stay tuned for more details and an eventual release date to come.
