Kanye West sneakers fetch record $1.8 million at private sale
Air Yeezy
The Air Yeezy ‘Net’ launched in June 2009 and would be the third and final colorway of the debut sneaker from Kanye West and Nike to hit stores. The shoe features a beige leather upper stopping at a high collar lined in pink, mounted on a two-tone midsole borrowed from the Nike Air Jordan 3. The smooth and glossy finish on the patent leather midfoot strap is contrasted by a perforated leather vamp and suede toe wrap, embossed with an all-over ‘Y’ print.

The Air Yeezy 2 NRG 'Pure Platinum' launched in June 2012 featuring a subdued colorway that blends varying shades of grey on the upper and a contrasting pop of bright red on the collar lining. The unique design allows it to straddle the line between fashion and sport. The snakeskin texture on the side panels and prominent ridges on the molded rubber heel serve to elevate the design, but the Air Tech Challenge II midsole keeps the shoe grounded in the heritage of the Swoosh.
