A Brief History of Kanye West's Non-YEEZY Sneaker Rotation

Before Kanye West became a polarizing figure battling his personal demons, he was basically the patron saint of sneaker blogs, gossip columns, and paparazzi photo dumps. Nearly every day you could log onto your favorite site and find photos of Kanye West either wearing kicks you had never seen before, or a pair you were already coveting. Kanye even had his own blog for a number of years where he and his people curated all sorts of cool things from around the internet.

Before his deals with Louis Vuitton, Nike, adidas, and the newly release GAP line, Kanye was able to pull fits together from an insane amount of brands. So for his 44th trip around the sun, let's revisit some of the sneakers that made regular appearances in Kanye West's sneaker rotation.

While Kanye West's style choices might not be for everyone, there is no denying the diversity in the choices 'Ye has taken chances on throughout the years. From the adidas Marathon TR and Pharrell Williams BBC Ice Cream Board Flips to the countless classics from the Nike catalog, Yeezy has not only been rockin' Throne-Worthy kicks but he's also been rapping about them along the way.

Although Kanye has introduced countless high-end luxury brands to the sneakerhead world (we won't dive into those today btw), and built his YEEZY brand in partnership with adidas, he's also never shied away from his love of his hometown hero, Michael Jordan, and the Air Jordans and Nikes that he grew up admiring. In fact, as recently as this week, he was spotted wearing a pair of Nike Vandals. So without further delay, let's take a look through some of the heat that Kanye West has worn throughout the years.
