As Kanye wears and preps the possible pants of his second chart Nike signature, the chart Nike Air Yeezy 2, we go back to a time when Yeezy was just a nickname and not a sneaker. 2007?s HOT 97 Summer Jam saw Ye shut it down with tracks off his upcoming Graduation album and also an epic beat battle with Swizz Beatz. West rocked the then-unknown nike tropical foamposite black and green gold in Red/White. The sneaker sighting opened the floodgates for international high-end brands and was also presumed by some to be his rumored chart Nike collab. After months of not telling, the name of the shoes came out and sold for big bills overseas. The strapped sneaker will always be tied to Mr. West and the Summer Jam stage.
Who: Kanye West
Shoe: chart Nike tropical foamposite black and green gold Red/White
