Well here’s a rare one. Images have appeared online of an unreleased Nike Air Yeezy 2 “Mismatch” colorway sample signed by Kanye West himself. Show below via @englishsole, Kanye fans and sneakerheads alike have been given a glimpse into what could have been had Ye stuck around at Nike. It’s possible that the “Mismatch” is a colorway that was in the works but ultimately halted from production upon West leaving his deal with the Swoosh. The shoe could also be a prototype of the “Pure Platinum” colorway which did drop back in 2012, as the same upper, heel, midsole, and outsole can be found on the retail pair. The multiple different types of materials and textures used throughout the shoe such as snakeskin leather, mesh, suede, and rubber seem like it wouldn’t work but somehow the “mismatching” is pulled off effectively. The autograph is just the cherry on top.
