In 2012, Kanye West dropped the first — and as it stands only — compilation album for his G.O.O.D. Music imprint, Cruel Summer<\/em> (note: Pusha T has mentioned that the oft rumored follow up, Cruel Winter<\/em>, is currently on his “mood board”<\/a>). While Yeezy Season was currently in effect with the Swoosh as both Black\/Solar Red and “Pure Platinum” Nike Air Yeezy 2s released prior to the roll-out of said album, a pair of less conventional Kanye kicks were also debuted during said season — the “Cruel Summer” Heels by Giuseppe Zanotti<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Today, we find the maker and title associated with the high cut heels from 2012 taking the metallic flames to menswear via the “Cruel Summer” sneaker. The silhouette follows the standard mid-top cut and side-zip styling associated with Zanotti’s work, while the title and embellishments play to the Kanye inspired collabo.<\/p>\n

For those keep track of the trail of events, a pair of “Cruel Summer” sandals also popped up as part of Zanetti’s 20th anniversary collection in 2014 as spotted by Complex<\/a>. In addition, GZ has also worked with common Kanye collaborator Kid Cudi<\/a> on a range of sneakers that have also seen various color flips and interpretations since their initial launch.<\/p>\n

This red and gold pair of “Cruel Summer” sneakers are available now for $1,250 at Barneys.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
