The infamous “Red Octobers” are here at last, with the red version of Kanye West’s Air Yeezy 2 finally released by Nike following much delay.
West references the sneakers in the lyrics for his song “Hold My Liquor” and the delay of release eventually led to the rapper severing ties with Nike in favour of a commercial link with rivals Adidas instead.
Nike released the shoes over the weekend, with several pairs already hitting Ebay. One particular pair is currently on sale for a whopping £10 million.
The shoes sold out on the Nike website within fifteen minutes, but you can check out a picture of the shoes beneath:
