Kanye West x Air Yeezy. Kanye would be the first to claim that anything he touches is considered a piece of art…well now his Air Yeezy sneakers can be living proof of that. These Doernbecher art pieces are actually constructed from the Yeezys and are currently for sale with all proceeds going to charity. Check more pics after the jump. Via:

Strange…..
The Air Yeezy was developed from a strong
relationship between West and Nike. Partnering with Nike Creative Director, Mark Smith,
Kanye was taken through the product creation process, the same way athletes have with Nike
Design for the past 37 years. The Air Yeezy
creative partnership of Smith and West’s talents as designers yielded a unique Nike
Sportswear sneaker worth the wait. “Kanye is a truly creative talent,” said Smith. “He’
s a natural designer—partnerships like this always enhance the creative experience and the
end product.” West agrees that the partnership with Nike has been exciting. “Nike The Air Yeezy is such an important brand to me,” said
West. “Whether you are on the court, in the street, in the club, at school, Nike
represents excellence, the standard in design. Growing up, we looked forward to the release
of new Nike’s the way we would an album by our favorite artist. So the opportunity to
collaborate on a design with Mark Smith and Nike Design has been a dream come true, and a
great experience.
