No disrespect to the Nike Air Yeezy 2, but it looks like it won’t take the crown as the Number 1 sneaker of 2011. That honor will go to the Nike Mag 2011, but the Air Yeezy 2 was certainly a strong frontrunner to capture the annual crown. Here’s another closer look at the Nike Air Yeezy 2 that Kanye West wore during the 2011 MTV VMAs; these clearer shots give you a better idea of the overall construction of the shoe, which features a slightly lower cut, completely different tooling, and a stylized panel on the medial midfoot strap. Check out the extra shots from Kanye West’s MTV VMA performance and be sure to stick with Sneaker News for more information on this upcoming release. via MTV/NT.
