Five Reasons We Aren’t Excited For The Nike Air Yeezy 2 Drop.

So, the Nike Air Yeezy 2 hits the shops tomorrow. Here’s five reasons why we aren’t excited and why we won’t be buying it.

The Nike Air Yeezy 2

1. The excitement building up to a trainer drop like this is always bigger than the trainer warrants. When it was announced that the Yeezy 2 was finally being released the internet went crazy. Hundreds of bloggers showed their inner fangirl by immediately posting extreme amounts of pictures of Kanye West (Yeezy, if you didn’t know) and the trainer in question. This excitement hasn’t subsided and probably won’t for a week after the release, at which point everyone will forget about the shoe and stop wearing it.
2. Only Jay-Z can pull this shoe off. We’ve seen everyone wearing it pre-release, from Yeezy himself to Reggie Yates, but none of them rock the Yeezy 2 like Mr Carter.
3. If the trainer in question didn’t have Kanye West’s name on it nobody would be this excited for it. This probably says more about West’s status than it does about Nike.
4. They are £210!!! Think about it, over 200 quid for a shoe that nobody will care about in two weeks time. You could buy a decent jacket for that.
5. Last but most importantly, the trainer itself is ugly as fuck. With the spikes on the back, the strap on the front and the glow in the dark sole it looks more like a cross between a motorbike boot and bondage wear than a trainer.
