Nike Air Yeezy Release Date & Price Confirmed at $215!

It has been known for some time now that the Nike Air Yeezy's would in fact be released on Saturday April 4th. Mysteriously, what remained unsolved was – how much these bad boys would cost!

Now, thanks to the cool people over at CtotheJL, it has been confirmed that the Nike Air Yeezy's will be priced at suggested retail price of $215.

Also, at Kanye’s request, more stores than expected will be selling the sneaker, but with a price tag of $215 in this economy? I don't have to worry about seeing "the wrong people" rocking these – if you know what I mean.

To see hi-res shots of the Yeezy’s, as well as some never-before-seen sketches and prototypes, read Complex’s exclusive “Making Of The Air Yeezy” feature.

Kanye West Covers Complex Magazine and Nike Air Yeezy Price Rumors

KanYe West covers the April/May issue of Complex Magazine shot by the incredible photographer Chris Milk. Complex is one of my favorite magazines, next to Vibe, and a few others. The issue hits stands April 7th, but you can catch the full story now over at Complex online.

Rumors recently hit the net that the Nike Air Yeezy will hit stores Saturday, April 4th, and may be priced at $310 - which isn't surprising to me, at all. Though the price and release date, as of now, are just rumors - The first release is said to be extremely limited, so retailers will only receive shipment in small quantities.

I can imagine the re-sell value on these things is going to be CRAZY - for all those who can afford to buy more than one pair in the midst of the current state of our economy. Check out more pictures from the Complex Magazine feature

Kanye West x Louis Vuitton Sneaker Update! Release Set for June 2009

Wow! The official pictures for Kanye West's collaboration with Louis Vuitton have been released for the high top design, and new colorways of the low top style have been released as well. KanYe's Louis Vuitton sneaker will be released in June. No word yet on the exact price, but I predict some where between $400 to $699

Initially when I first seen the prototype for the High top KWxLV sneaker, I wasn't a fan, but now seeing the official design? I'm amazed! I foresee these being Louis Vuitton's most popular release for a sneaker collection, even in a recession.

The Black/Black Nike Air Yeezy

In case you haven't been on the internet, the Nike Air Yeezy's will be officially released this Spring. Three colorways will be available, but all I care about is the Black/Black's - These are by far the hottest in the collection, one of the craziest/freshest parts about this sneaker is the details, photoed below.

The Black/Black Nike Air Yeezy's will be dropped in May, and in June the final Net/Net color way will be released.
