Yeah – what the hell ARE these? Well, according to sneakerhunt, these might be prototypes of the Nike Air McFly, to be released in 2015. Yeah, McFly, as in the kicks that Michael J. Fox had on in Back To The Future. If these kicks really aren’t getting released for 8 years, this is some advance promotion like a muhf**ka. In any case, these joints reminded me a lot of the weird ass kicks I’ve been seeing Kanye rock lately, which makes me think he either has the inside track to these shoes, some shoes like it, or I’m totally off and he just has some hustleman from down the skreet hook up.

Anyway! So the Kanye is out there, unfortunately. I got it, listened to about 5 tracks, felt ashamed, and deleted it. I couldn’t help but post my favorite of the five tracks I heard though. A snippet has actually been floating for weeks, but I finally got a listen to the full version and love it that much more. Who else remembers getting shut down by your parents on back to school shopping trips? Preach ‘Ye, preach.

This’ll prolly be my last ‘Ye post pre-9/11: for one, maaad websites (us included I suppose) will be doing mad riding of the jockage over the next couple of days; two, I’ll feel like a jerk and like I’m indirectly helping Curtis; and three, no self-righteous on me, but I want my anticipation to build for a lil’ while longer, which will then be reconciled by an actual in store purchase. Alright, rant over, promise.

Kanye West – “Champion” [clean]

*Late add: So word has finally broken on the internet that the shoes Kanye has been rocking actually look notadamnthing like these potential McFly prototypes. The kicks are Ato Matsumoto’s, currently a Japan exclusive but our guess is not for long. You can check out some pics and more info here.
