Critique: This is the Air Yeezy shoe. These shoes were designed by Kanye West and were released in 2009. The shoes were one of the most sought after shoes ever. Extremely limited, only 2 stores in Toronto got them. With each shoe release (there were 3 for this model), there was lineups that lasted about 3 days. The shoes retailed for $215 CAD, but resale value is up to $1100. I am a huge fan of these shoes, unfortunately I can not afford it. The shoes uses elements from other shoes combined into one. The shoes that influenced this design are Air Jordan 3's, Ato Matsumoto and Bape. Borrowing elements from other designs to create your own is a great way to approach any work of art, I do it for design. The use of pink for the lining and having little colours on the outer is done really well.
