• 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.

• Air Yeezy Doernbecher Raffle T-shirts

As the Nike Air Yeezy Charity Auctions ended this past weekend, Sole Collector and the Doernbecher Children’s Hospital are completing the Yeezy For Doernbecher charity series by offering the public two t-shirts where proceeds will once again benefit the charity. In addition, individuals who purchase a t-shirt will automatically qualify for a raffle where the selected winner receives a brand new pair of the Net/Net (tan) Nike Air Yeezy. A bonus is that the pair of Yeezys will be lasered with personalized text and graphics by Mark Smith.

One t-shirt has a pink print on a black t-shirt where the  front graphic resembles the same laser design on the custom wooden box that houses the Grammy Air Yeezys that reads “KW YEEZY”. The second Yeezy For Doernbecher t-shirt features a glow-in-the-dark print on a black t-shirt with a front graphic that resembles the Air Yeezy’s original designs. Both t-shirts also feature similar sleeve and back designs.

• 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.
