• A Fraction of Kanye West’s Sneaker Collection

With the news that Kanye West’s Los Angeles home is up for sale, more photos of several of the rooms inside his 4,000+ square foot abode are being made available to the public. One such photo I recently discovered (although from 2007) displays a closeup shot of a mere fraction of Kanye’s sneaker collection. In fact, this may possibly be the same shoe rack from when Kanye was featured in Harper’s Bazaar. Judging from the photo, there’s several low top Converse Chuck Taylors, an Air Jordan 3 and two Air Jordan Spizikes, a Nike Air Max 1 Safari, and Vans skate shoes.

Can you identify any of the other shoes in Kanye’s sneaker collection?
