Nike has taken the wraps off the Air Yeezy, the shoe it developed in partnership with rapper Kanye West. (The company says he tested it extensively on stage, in two-to-three hour performance sets.)
The sneaker, which the company says retails for $215, features ankle collars for added support and protection, extra-thick sock liners, and a glow-in-the-dark outsole. A
spokesperson said no advertising is planned for the launch.--Sarah Mahoney
