Designed by Nathan VanHook, the Nike Air Yeezy 2 took inspiration from classic Nike silhouettes such as the Air Trainer 1, Air Foamposite One, and the Air Tech Challenge 2. It was the second and final sneaker designed by Kanye West for Nike that were originally released in two colorways (shown here) in 2012, followed by the infamous “Red October” colorway in February 2014.
Launched in June 2012, the Nike Air Yeezy 2 “Pure Platinum” comes dressed in shades of Grey on the upper contrasted with pops of Bright Red on the collar lining. It also comes with glow-in-the-dark outsoles.
The Nike Air Yeezy 2 “Solar Red” sports a familiar color blocking as its Air Yeezy “Blink” predecessor. It features the same unique details as well as having glow-in-the-dark outsoles.
