• Big Sean’s Net/Net Air Yeezy

Big Sean, an artist on Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music label, received his Net/Net Nike Air Yeezy 2 weeks early, likewise with Ibn Jasper. Personally, I’m not too interested in the 3rd installment of the Yeezy, which I believe is the general consensus among Sneakerheads, so the pictures don’t do too much for me, but I sure am envious of that Range Rover.

• Nike Air Yeezy Stress Test

SoleCollector.com member, Euthanasia, has put the Nike Air Yeezy to the test on the basketball court and has provided a review of the performance of the sneaker on the SoleCollector.com forum. You must be a member of the forum to view the thread, but it’s definitely worth the read and provides great insight on the sneaker’s comfort level, stability, durability, fit, and overall value. Here’s a little excerpt:

After getting the Air Yeezys from a friend, I decided that they had the ankle support of the older Nike basketball shoes, extra padded lining, padded ankle supports like the Jordan 5s, and a midsole that carried along through many of Nike’s shoes. Who said that the strap wasn’t useful? It definitely tightens the grip on the hold for the width of the shoes, so there’s a bit more resistance when doing quick motions.
