"I’m the No. 1 most influential cutural pop art brand: scarfes, beards, plastic glasses, whatever."
-Kanye West
Unless you've been living in a storage closet at Payless, you know about the almost year-long hype surrounding the Nike Air Yeezy's. In the April/May issue of Complex Magazine, Mr. West and Creative Director of Special Projects at Nike, Mark Smith, sit down to discuss the $250 recession proof collabo. Read the interview here. Some memorable Yeezy quotes and additional pictures after the jump...
Drop dates (by color way):

"Conceptually, it was made for a person that was walking on another planet."
"Every guy drew Nikes in fourth grade, so to really do it is a dream come true."
"They’re not even gonna hit the ground. The boxes from the truck will literally not hit the ground."

They are not as bad as I thought. I could see myself rocking with aviators under wayfarers, casio g-shock, and shiny members only jacket.
I'm not going to address Kanye. There are no words for statements like that.
AF, did you see the keri hilson video with kanye or are you just a natural born stylist?
Hahaha.
I basically just saying EVERYTHING that I imagine the typical Kayne-fit. He would get bodied by fresh dudes in Sweden.
I just read that article and find it hilarious that Kanye thinks he is not arrogant: "I only surround myself with geniuses." wtf! So, you're considered a genius because you have limited knowledge of fashion and people think you know how to dress?
What do you know about the world, Yeezy? I'm still feeling you but dial down the arrogance.
