Some used to laugh at the idea of a rapper being the biggest name in sneakers. They could never outsell NBA superstars or gain the respect of footwear industry stalwarts. Then came Kanye West. It all started in 2009 with the release of his Nike Air Yeezy I, then came a Louis Vuitton collection, the Air Yeezy II, a move to Adidas, and so the story goes.
