Is This A Leaked Photo Of The Kanye West x Adidas Yeezi Shoe?
Ever since Kanye took his ball from Nike and went home to work with Adidas, hypebeasts have been anticipating the new Yeezi sneaker—and this leaked photo may be it.
According to Complex, anonymous sources who have actually seen and held the shoe in their hands at Adidas headquarters have confirmed that this grainy leaked photo (above) is indeed of the Kanye West x Adidas "Yeezi."
What we can see is a tan upper, that looks like nubuck, mid with a zip up the side, with a loop, fabric lacing system. A ribbed single unit sole reaches from end to end. Like all Yeezys/Yeezis we've seen, there's a strap across the laces.
As far as how someone was able to take a photo of a shoe that is supposed to be under wraps—well, it's not that hard when someone holds it up on a plane.
Especially if that person is Kanye West.
The main contrast we see in this design is a step toward the fashion world and less of a sporty look. We'll see the final product soon enough as the Adidas "Yeezi" is rumored to be dropping toward the end of this month, just in time for the holiday season.
Something tells me Nike is going to regret letting him walk away.
