The Nike Air Yeezy 1 Zen Grey is the first shoe Kanye West designed with Nike, released in 2009 before the adidas partnership existed. Buy it if you want the pair that started the entire designer-musician sneaker era.
The upper is grey nubuck and leather with the forefoot strap, the sculpted heel counter, and the glow-in-the-dark sole that defined the model. The Air Yeezy 1 sold in tiny numbers and was never restocked, which is why original pairs occupy the very top of the collecting market.
Best for serious collectors, and for anyone who understands this pair as the origin point of everything that followed. Air Yeezy 1s fit true to size, though the strap and shaped collar make them feel snug at first.
Every pair from Common Hype is 100% authenticity guaranteed and inspected in house before it ships, which carries more weight here than on anything else we carry given the price and the age of the shoe. This is a single pair in size 12, and it ships same or next business day from our Tempe, Arizona warehouse, not from a third-party seller network.
