With the original Air Yeezy drop coming and going without any major issues (unless you count the extra cautious consumers who copped theirs in surgical masks to avoid the equally time capsule-worthy bird flu), the most drama-filled release date in Kanye West’s career was back in 2007 when the launch of his album Graduation  competed head to head against 50 Cent’s third full-length.

Some sneaker custom ideas are stories that write themselves, like Mache Customs’ Jordan Son of Mars ‘Son of Yeezy’ that we first showed you yesterday. Mache states that “from the moment I saw pics of the Son of Mars release , I knew I was going to try this’, citing the Air Jordan midsole, bulky midfoot strap, padded ankles, and translucent sole. While the Son of Mars and Air Yeezy don’t exactly share the same DNA, they undeniably share some similarities – perhaps the folks over at Jordan Brand had the Yeezy in mind when coming up with this hybrid model.

When Kanye West is in the building chances are pretty good that the Nike Air Yeezy 2 will be as well, so contenders on the sneaker front are forced to bring their A-game. And that’s just what happened on 106 & Park today with Terrence J’s selection strong as ever-this time showing off some upcoming heat in the form of the Nike LeBron 9 ‘Varsity Maize’ . GOOD Music affiliate 2 Chainz was no slouch either, breaking up the Swoosh selections with the adidas JS Gorilla from the latest Jeremy Scott capsule

Did Yeezy teach Mache how to do customs? Well, we know for sure that he directed him toward his latest custom creation – the Jordan Son Of Mars ‘Son Of Yeezy’. One of the design features of the Jordan Son Of Mars that seemed to be a bit of a turn-off to some Jordan fans was the mid-foot strap, so Mache transformed it into a sneaker that uses a thick mid-foot strap as a highlight of its aesthetic – the Nike Air Yeezy

While the lid on the Air Yeezy 2 container remains tightly closed, the spillover from the original Air Yeezy continues to flow! Outside of the three released versions, there were plenty of samples floating around , like this Zen Grey/Neon-Challenge Red sample that we saw earlier as part of a gargantuan sneaker-forum listing that featured three Air Yeezy samples . The official colorway of this Kanye-worn sample is Zen Grey/Neon-Challenge Red, used by Yeezy during the Glow In The Dark tour of a few years ago; it’s got a tonal Zen Grey upper with the bright Challenge Red midsole, with the Swoosh featuring Glow in the Dark detailing. We’ve got some stills as well as the full video review below, so hit the jump for a closer look

As we already know from  Watch the Throne’s  ’Paris’ track, if you’re sufficiently successful, people will follow you even when they don’t personally have a connection to the source of your swag.  And so it goes with the  Nike Air Yeezy 2  Kanye West wore on stage during the WTT tour, a shoe so highly anticipated that  campouts began back in late February  in the face of all reason (and without a concrete date to consider).
