After more than a year of rumours, speculation and anticipation, the most wanted shoe in recent memory finally drops in selected sneaker retailers – liberating news for most Sneakerheads who drooled over images of Mr. West rocking them at the Grammys, the Glow in the Dark tour and everywhere in between.
So, time for the details: This Visible Air Unit high top sneaker features a very simple, effective use of materials like perforated leather and patent leather. The embossed Y (for Yeezy, of course) on some panels and straps adds a high fashion touch to it, much like the Elephant pattern on Jordans. (And echoes the Y shaped lace loop on the puffed tongue perfectly.)
There are three colourways guaranteed to drop:
The Black/Pink colourway features an embossed Y leather heel, embossed patent leather strap and embossed eyerow. Add to that a good, padded ankle support on the top, all pink inner lining and an outsole that glows in the dark - for a shoe that raises not only eyebrows, but standards as well.
The Zen/Grey-Light Grey colourway features an embossed patent leather strap, an embossed suede toe wrap and a perforated leather toe box. Orange lining on the heel and sides, pink lining on the tongue and a glow in the dark outsole sets it apart.
The Net/Net features a plain patent leather light grey strap and an embossed suede toe wrap. It comes in an all pink inner lining with orange lining on the tongue and a glow in the dark swoosh to shine with the matching outsole.
Word is, these might be dropping at Gallery on 4th soon…
