Much like Michael Jordan in the playoffs, Kanye West<\/strong> tends to break out his best kicks for his best performances. As Kim Kardashian teases images of the Nike Air Yeezy 2 “Red October” and the Yeezus tour gets ready to kick off, we take a look back at some of Kanye’s favorite footwear choices from some of his best road runs. What kicks will Kanye wear on the Yeezus tour? Place your bets in the comment section.<\/p>\n

Air Jordan 7 “Raptor”<\/h2>\n

Tour:<\/strong> Overseas Promo for The College Dropout<\/em><\/p>\n

Signed to the Roc but sans sneaker deal, Kanye’s early days on stage and on the mic saw him wear a plethora of brands. Retro offerings from Nike, Reebok, adidas and Vans all received wear, with the Air Jordan 7 “Raptor” getting shine on stage and in video during his promo run for The College Dropout<\/em>. Much like today’s upstart artists, a young Ye earned his stripes by opening for other artists, including Usher, and building buzz overseas. While his sophomore effort Late Registration<\/em> saw its own arena tour, photos and footwear still prove hard to spot.<\/p>\n photo via KanyeWest.us\n

Nike Air Yeezy<\/h2>\n

Tour:<\/strong> Glow in the Dark<\/p>\n

Following a debut at the 2008 Grammy Awards, the Nike Air Yeezy became the first official signature shoe for Kanye West, and his performance silo of choice for the Glow in the Dark Tour. Joined by the likes of N.E.R.D, Rihanna and Lupe Fiasco, Kanye scaled the globe in his Yeezys before releasing them in the spring of 2009. The “Net” pair proved a good match with his taupe stage garb, while an unreleased sample also saw heavy rotation.<\/p>\n photos via DJ Proto J of Nike Talk<\/a>\n

Louis Vuitton Don Red\/Red<\/h2>\n

Tour:<\/strong> Festival runs for My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy<\/em><\/p>\n

Unlike Graduation<\/em> and Late Registration<\/em>, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy<\/em> did not see a US arena tour but rather appearances at some of the world’s biggest music festivals. Fans at Coachella got the first on stage look at a promo pair of the Nike Air Yeezy 2. For the most part, though, Ye rocked Lanvin sneakers for the first acts of the three part show, later bringing out the all-red Louis Vuitton Dons<\/strong> with the matching “Power” suit or other red outfits.<\/p>\n photo by Chris Hyde\/Getty Images AsiaPac via Zimbio<\/a>\n

Nike Air Yeezy 2 Black\/Solar Red<\/h2>\n

Tour:<\/strong> Watch the Throne<\/p>\n

2011’s Watch the Throne tour saw Kanye West wear the Nike Air Yeezy 2 Black\/Solar Red at seemingly every stop. Paired with a leather kilt and Ricardo Tisci Givenchy shirts, the stage outfits represented hip-hop hierarchy and high fashion.<\/p>\n photo by Tommy Ton via Freshness Mag<\/a>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Air Yeezy 2 “Red October”<\/h2>\n

Tour:<\/strong> Yeezus?<\/p>\n

Though Ye has been wearing his favorite fringed Visvims on the regular, a recent IG by his lady<\/a> lends us to believe that he’ll wear the “Red October” Yeezy 2s while on the road with Kendrick Lamar. Does this point to a proper release of the hot hue shoe? Only time will tell.<\/p>\n photo via Brooklyn Vegan<\/a>\n
