Now that all is said and done, it’s become apparent that the Nike Air Yeezy (the last colorway of which was released this past weekend) was the only sneaker Kanye West could have possibly designed. After all, the Yeezy is as polarizing as West himself, with an aesthetic that borrows equal inspiration from both 1988 and 2088. But whether you find them to be fantastic, hideous, or simply too… Kanye, their impact upon sneaker culture is undeniable.

And I still want a pair.

A lot of other people do too, as each release saw blocks around the world lined with sneakerheads waiting desperately for a pair of Kanye’s kicks. Simply put, the anticipation for each Yeezy release reached near-Jordanesque proportions. And although they may look the like official sneaker of Prince and Rihanna’s home planet, there is something undeniably eye-catching about the Yeezy.

There’s been no word yet from Kanye or Nike about the future of the Air Yeezy franchise or if it was simply a one-off project (Ye also has his line of high-end kicks with Louis Vuitton), but as long as Yeezys are going for upwards of $900 on ebay, both parties can rest assured that they killed it on this one.

The good life, indeed.
