Fashion Game: The Nike Air Yeezy II

Kanye West’s flirtations with the world of fashion have had mixed results, but his new Air Yeezy 2 Nike collabs? Nothing but net.

West’s deal with Nike has him designing a pair every two years, and after 2009′s Air Yeezies sold out in record time, sneaker freaks have been anticipating the second installment of the Nike Air Yeezy which will release globally June 9th.

Slimmer and more stylish than the Air Yeezy 1, these kicks are a hot commodity!

Get them in the all-white “Platinum” look if you’re not worried about scuffing, or in black with pink accents…our kind of style. Continue reading

Fashion Game: Kanye West Limited Edition Nike ‘Air Yeezy’s’ Going For $90k Online

We here at NUA love our fashion and all, and we’re definitely always down for a fresh pair of kicks, but isn’t $90k a bit much?

Check out what TMZ is reporting:

The official price tag is a mere $245, but bids for Nike’s new Air Yeezy 2 sneakers — designed by Kanye West himself — have already topped $80,000 on the Internet.


The Air Yeezy 2′s don’t drop until Saturday — but people have been camping outside sneaker boutiques across the country for over a week, hoping to get a pair of the shoes … which Kanye’s been rocking for several months now.

Best believe we won’t be buying this particular pair being advertised, BUT… if we are lucky enough to get our hands on a pair of these, you will be seeing them on eBay.  NEXT!

Rick Ross signs endorsement deal with Reebok

Rick Ross hinted last year that something big was coming with Reebok.   He wasn’t just running his mouth.  Its been officially confirmed that Ross has signed an endorsement deal with the brand.  Swizz Beatz, the entire Maybach Music crew and even local sneaker spot Shoe Gallery all tweeted their respects and excitement for the new partnership.

Last summer, Rick Ross, Meek Mill and Swizz Beatz remade ’2Pac Back’ to create ‘Reebok Back’.  Looks like it paid off.  Check out the video:

The only thing is that Ross has always gone heavy with Nike releases and Jordan Brand releases and even appeared in that “Boom” commercial with Nike, so publicly, the new deal might mean he’s strictly rockin’ with the R from now on.
