Nike Air Yeezy 2 Red October & Adidas Yeezy Boost 750 OG

"We have HERE the two most legendary Kanye West sneakers - the last model of the Nike x Kanye era and the first release of the Adidas collaboration. Both represent absolute pop culture history. Definitely worth the investment!" - Constantin Philippi, Sneaker Experte.

Why Invest in the Nike Air Yeezy 2 Red October & Adidas Yeezy Boost 750 OG Models?
About the Nike Air Yeezy 2 Red October
Kanye West designed his first Nike shoe on a flight from Miami to New York, leading to a unique collaboration. West was the first non-athlete to design his own shoe for Nike, supported by Mark Smith and Nathan Van Hook. His vision combined elements from the Air Force 1, Air Jordan 3, Air Trainer 3, and Air Mag.

The Air Yeezy was unveiled at the Grammys in 2008 and released in 2009, creating significant hype. Three limited colorways followed. The Air Yeezy 2 continued this success from 2012, with a particularly coveted model: the Yeezy 2 Red October (released in 2014). This model was announced unexpectedly on Twitter and sold out within seconds.

The bright red color grabs everyone's attention and makes it the highlight of any outfit. The only other color detail is the metallic gold tips of the laces, which stand out perfectly against the monochrome design. This shoe is an essential piece for any sneaker collection.

The Red October marked the end of the collaboration between Kanye and Nike. Kanye left Nike because he was not granted royalties despite the huge success of his designs. In a 2018 interview, he expressed his disappointment about this.

The Nike Air Yeezy 2 Red October is considered not only an absolute Holy Grail among sneaker collectors but also marks the end of the collaboration between Nike and Kanye West. The shoe represents pop culture and also ushered in a new era in the sneaker world. Since its release, sneakers have increasingly been seen as investments. The original sale price was $250 in 2014. The latest sale in size US 10.5 on StockX was €18,000, and general sale prices often reach €23,000. Size matters here too; larger sizes, like US 10.5, are more popular and rarer.

About the Adidas Yeezy Boost 750 OG
The Adidas Yeezy Boost 750 OG, Kanye’s first collaboration with Adidas, revolutionized the sneaker world when it was released in 2015. The sneaker features a striking, minimalist design with high-quality grey suede, a prominent midfoot strap, and a side zipper enclosure. The innovative Boost sole provides unparalleled comfort and cushioning. This model, which combines Kanye’s aesthetic sense with Adidas' technological expertise, quickly became a coveted collector’s item and marked the beginning of an iconic partnership between the rapper and the sports brand. The Yeezy Boost 750 OG remains a milestone in sneaker history and a must-have for sneaker enthusiasts worldwide. The release price in 2015 was $350.

The Yeezy Boost 750 OG by Adidas marks the beginning of the legendary collaboration between the rapper and the German sports brand. It was the first model to hit the market in 2015, generating enormous hype. However, this collaboration has now ended. A significant portion of Adidas' total revenue came from the sale of Yeezy sneakers.

Several factors suggest positive value development in the future: Kanye West’s fame—everyone knows him—and he is equally a genius and a madman. But everything he touches turns to gold. He always manages to stay in the spotlight (he even ran for the US presidency in 2024). There is hardly a more prominent personality in show business than Kanye West, and he will remain so for a long time! The past has shown that none of Kanye West’s actions have harmed the value of his sneakers.
