Kanye West's Grammy Worn Nike Air Yeezy Sample
Before Kanye West partnered with Adidas in 2013 for the Yeezy Boosts, there was the Nike Air Yeezy 1. Kanye debuted the prototype at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards during his performance of "Hey Mama" and "Stronger." The sneakers were one of the first signature shoes to be made for an artist rather than an athlete and paved the way for the Yeezy empire we know today. More than footwear, the Nike Air Yeezy is a piece of cultural history and will be on display at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre from April 16 to April 21, 2012, with a private sale hosted by Sotheby's.
