College dropout to head of the class.<\/p>\n
Today\u2019s Snkrs Day\u2019 Throwback Thursday<\/em> rewinds back to 2009 where we pay tribute to the rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, entrepreneur and fashion designer that is Kanye West and his Nike Air Yeezy 1<\/strong> in its “Zen Grey” launch colorway.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After suffering a near-fatal car accident in October 2002, Kanye rose to fame with his legendary and memorable song, “Through the Wire,” a testament to his incredible determination and will to live following the tragedy.<\/p>\n
This pivotal record proved the lead single for his genre and culture changing debut album, The College Dropout<\/em>, which marked West’s arrival as not just a producer but a rapper and an icon in the worlds of art and fashion.<\/p>\n
