The Air Yeezy, designed by Kanye West, has been on every sneakerheads must-have list for months. When the Black Yeezy was released earlier this month, folks slept outside of Niketown on Michigan Ave. to snap up a limited pair of Yeezy's. The shoe completely flew off the shelves within hours of its release, and soon after there were bids upwards of $1,000 for the Yeezys on eBay.
So why the heck was this lone pair sitting unclaimed? According to Self Conscious' Aron Hanson, the store held a silent auction on May 2 where they turned the back room of their loft-like space into a glow-in-the-dark themed playground and invited customers to bid on the 18 pair of Air Yeezy’s they had in stock. The highest bid went for $800. There was one pair of Black Yeezys left over from the affair, which was the one we spotted.
