Start Lining Up Now! Kanye’s ‘Yeezy 2′ Sneaker Will Hit Retailers in April
Posted by Matty U under life beyond rap[12] Comments
We’ve seen ‘Ye in them. We’ve seen Jay and them. And we’ve already seen sneaker heads in California queue up with their yard chairs in front of their favorite sneaker retailer without even knowing the official release date. But finally, after much speculation, it seems like there will be an official U.S. release date for the “Wolf Grey/Pure Platinum” Yeezy 2′s sometime next month, with stockists in Singapore to release them on April 13th. The first official images of the most sought after sneaker of 2012 have been released, and it’s no question that we’re going to want to get our hands on them as well.
Using a nylon mesh construction with hints of suede and snake skin leather, the Yeezy 2′s boast a more detailed texture than the first model. From the ridges at the back of the sneaker to the mythological god inspired logo at the tongue and the glow in the dark soles, I’d say this sneaker is something worth waiting in line for.

i love this davinci code bullshit. lol. i looked up some hieroglyphs and i’m pretty sure the 2nd picture says “air yeezy” like a palindrome.
the first bird symbol is “A”
2nd symbol is a dot. might be “r” or might make air. don’t know.
next two symbols make “YY” or yee
and the little chain symbol is “Z”
“A” dot “yy” “Z”
and it’s backward and forward like a palindrome:
A dot YY Z YY dot A
maybe
A r yy z yy r A
ar yyee z or air yyee z.
