Nike Air Yeezy 2 Released

June 9, 2012

The Nike Air Yeezy 2, designed with Mark Smith, releases in 'Pure Platinum' and 'Solar Red' colorways at $245. The futuristic, reptilian-scaled high-top elevates the Yeezy sneaker line to new heights of cultural cachet — but behind the scenes, Kanye is growing increasingly frustrated with Nike's refusal to offer him royalties on sales.
