Kanye’s Nike Air Yeezy Kicks Sell For Almost $2 Million
This is why Kanye stays rich. The Grammy-winning rapper’s Nike Air Yeezy 1 prototype shoes set a new world sales sneaker record when they sold for $1.8 million at an auction.
Beyond being a shoe designed and worn by Kanye West, this specific Air Yeezy 1 prototype served as a kind of unofficial launch of West’s serious sneaker ambitions.

Kanye West Nike Yeezy Protocol Estimated To Sell For $1M+
Earlier this month, it was announced that a Nike Air Yeezy 1 prototype from 2008 is expected to sell for over $1 million. This was Ye’s first sneaker with Nike, which he notably abandoned for bigger and better things at Adidas in 2013 and yes – he actually wore this specific pair.
“This pair is critical to the development of the Yeezy franchise, which has become one of the most important sneaker and lifestyle brands in history,” said Brahm Wachter, Sotheby’s Head of Streetwear and Modern Collectables. “Debuted on-stage at the Grammys in 2008, the sneakers set off waves in the sneaker community as people tried to identify the mysterious pair. Afterwards, we saw a series of collaborations between Kanye and Nike, and then later the birth of his line with adidas.” (Highsnobiety)
