• Grammy Air Yeezy for Doernbecher Relisted

For anyone that missed out on the Grammy Air Yeezy shoes, it’s been re-listed on Ebay by Sole Collector due to a non-paying winner when the shoes were first up for auction. If you have the funds, this shoe would be a valuable addition to any sneaker head’s collection. In case you aren’t aware of the relevance of this particular Nike Air Yeezy, it is the same exact pair that Kanye West wore at the 2008 Grammy Awards. It is a size 12 and only a 1-of-1 sample that Nike created solely for Kanye. Not only that, but the proceeds of the auction will also go to the Doernbecher Children’s Hospital. The auction ends November 1 at 7:33 PST.

• Franalations’ Size 6.5 Black/Pink Air Yeezy

I don’t usually like posting live auctions on here, but I figure I’d make an exception in this case because of the rarity of the item. Sneaker aficionado, Franalations has put up his size 6.5 black/pink Nike Air Yeezy up for bids on Ebay with a starting price of $215. The auction for his used Yeezys ends on October 27 at 9:40 PM PST, and is currently at $228 with 4 bids. The Air Yeezys were already limited from the beginning of its release, but throw in the fact that these are the highly-coveted colorway of the 3 and a size 6.5 makes it all the more unique. If you wear a size 6.5 (or a size 7 because Yeezys are known to run a half size larger) and are looking for the black/pink Air Yeezys, I suggest you keep a close eye on Franalations’ auction.

• Grammy Air Yeezy Auction Photo Details

If you plan on bidding on the size 12 Nike Air Yeezy sneakers that Kanye West wore at the 2008 Grammy’s, it’s only fair to evaluate the product that you’re going to be spending money on. Here are detailed photos of the Grammy Air Yeezys that Kanye actually wore and the custom wooden box that will house the shoe. The black leather, Y-lacelock, glow in the dark Air Jordan 3-inspired sole, and overall silhouette of the Grammy Air Yeezy is comparable to the 3 Air Yeezys that were released to the general public several months back. The only noticeable difference is that the Grammy Air Yeezy contains no Y-print anywhere on the shoe. The Zen Gray had the Y-print on the toe-box and strap, the Net/Net Yeezy only had the Ys on the toe-box, and the Black/Pink Yeezy had the Y-print across the back of the shoe and strap. Nonetheless, it’s a truly remarkable 1 of 1 shoe that would be a great addition to any collection and best of all, the auction proceeds will benefit the Doernbecher Children’s Hospital.

• Air Yeezy Doernbecher Charity Auction

In the past few weeks, Chi Mcbride and Mark Smith have revealed exclusive Nike Air Yeezy shoes as part of the Doernbecher Charity Auction. The first preview revealed was for the size 12 Air Yeezy Grammys that Kanye West wore at the 2008 Grammy Awards. The second preview they revealed was an Air Yeezy sample with a Jordan 6 sole. Both pairs are 1 of 1 samples and will surely become a great addition to any sneakerhead’s shoe collection. The auction has already gone live on Ebay for both shoes and will end 1 week from today, Saturday, September 19, at 7:30 PM PST. Support this great cause and obtain these rare Yeezy shoes while you’re at it.

• Sole Collector Air Yeezy Covers

The latest cover of Sole Collector, Issue 29, will feature 2 different designs– one will have the original black Nike Air Yeezy atop a wooden box with laser designs and the other will be a high-quality, detailed shot of the pink Air Yeezy lacelock. This is the same exact Air Yeezy  sneaker that Kanye West wore at the 2008 Grammy Awards, as he paid tribute to his late mother, Donda West. The sneaker will be up for grabs as part of the Doernbecher Charity Auction where one lucky bidder will be able to take the original, 1 of 1 pair home. Correct me if I’m wrong, I do remember him wearing these sneakers at the Grammys, however, I do not recall them having lacelocks. But I digress, it’s a great sneaker and I only wish the 3 Air Yeezys that came out several months ago had this type of leather material.
