The new Nike Yeezy just has a switch up in colorway, but many lined up in sleeping bags for them. At over $200 a pop, are they worth it?

The Beef

Nike's Air Jeezy was conceived while Kanye West was sitting next to Nike’s CEO, Mark Parker, scribbling sketches on Nike’s private jet. Then the world first caught a glimpse of the Yeezys when Kanye wore the shoes on stage during a Grammy performance. From there, the Yeezy went up against the Supra as the new hot kick on the streets. The rest is history.

Style

If Luke Skywalker was alive in the fresh today, he would be happy rocking a pair of Air Yeezys. In fact, so would Darth and the rest of the gang. The Yeezy is slick, stylish, and looks "active". Only problem, is it too much in decor and negative in comfort?

Comfort

If you like to go bare, the Yeezy is not for you. It's not an easy slip-on shoe either. Expect to be fastened down to the pavement in straps of vinyl and plastic. These are not summer kicks no matter how light and flexible they seem. Consider these seatbelts and if you need extra street grip, these are right up your alley.
