The Nike Air Yeezy II has been one of the more anticipated pairs of sneakers, as they had been delayed for quite some time thereby causing Kanye to vent his frustration recently. The Sneakers were first seen on Kim Kardashian’s Instagram last May and Kanye has been wearing the high tops to most of his live performances for the latter half of 2013
The shoes retailed for $245 and are now being offered online on eBay for as much as $7,500.
