Nike Air Yeezy 1 Released

April 4, 2009

The Nike Air Yeezy 1 launches in the 'Zen Grey' colorway at $215, followed by the 'Blink' and 'Net' colorways over the next two months. The shoe — the first non-athlete signature sneaker from Nike — sells out instantly and establishes Kanye as a legitimate force in footwear design, not just a celebrity endorser.
