Kanye West has certainly been one of the most talked about people in
the media, being acclaimed for anything from music to fashion. Yet once
again Kanye has been in the limelight, this time the prolific
entertainer and designer has been noticed for his Nike Air Yeezy 2.
Released on February 9
th his limited
range sneakers sold out in a mere 11 minutes.
The
recent pair, Red Octobers can certainly be seen as a striking piece,
which I believe typifies West’s elaborate style. It was a surprise that
this pair was released after his dispute with the iconic brand, but Nike
have said that this will be the last of their collaboration.
The limited range retailed at $245, however customers who bought
these trainers are selling them at an extortionate price of up to £3,500
on eBay, which will no doubt increase. Worn by his peers and
associates, notably Kendrick Lamar, this footwear will definitely
attract the urban market and hip-hop scene. His collection has been
received in a positive light and has definitely created anticipation for
his new and future collaboration with Adidas.
After the recent
popularity and sell out of Red Octobers, I feel his next collection will
be stronger and much pricier, in true West spirit.
