Nike Releases Kanye West's Air Yeezy II Unannounced

UPDATE: The Air Yeezy IIs sold out in 15 minutes.

Nike on Sunday released Kanye West's long-hyped Air Yeezy II Red Octobers.

The shoes had been hanging in limbo for months, with Foot Locker teasing an on-sale date back in December only before backtracking and canceling the sale altogether.

Nike instead released the sneakers on its own website Sunday (Feb. 9), priced at $245. The delay leading up to the announcement had been blamed largely on West's new deal with Adidas.
