The Tinker Hatfield-designed shoe features the infamous 3M reflective tongue, mesh side panels, and an icey blue sole. In commemoration of tomorrow’s release, we take a look back at Kanye wearing the black/metallic Air Jordan 5 shoes.

Judging from his magazine scans, music videos, concert photos, and any other media outlet, it is apparent that Kanye West is a sneaker head. In the photograph below, one can spot the Air Jordan III, IV, V, red Nike Blazer x Supreme, several Vans, and the Kanye West x Bape shoe (among other things).
