Kim and Kanye Wear Matching His & Her Air Yeezy IIs

06/12/2012 at 06:00 PM ET

Kim Kardashian Kanye West Air Yeezy II'sCourtesy Kim Kardashian. Inset: Startraks

Kim Kardashian didn’t have to wait for a pair of the highly coveted Nike Air Yeezy II sneakers — she just snagged a pair from her boyfriend (and the man who designed the shoe), Kanye West. Kardashian Tweeted a picture of the couple rocking the kicks on Tuesday with the caption, “His & Hers! #AirYeezys.”

For those of you who just said, “What’s an Air Yeezy?,” here’s a quick backstory on the hyped shoe: The Kanye West for Nike kicks are to sneakerheads as Christian Louboutins are to fashionable girls. Everyone wants them, but few actually get them. The “sole” difference? These sneakers are limited edition (it’s estimated that Nike released just 3,000 to 5,000 pairs worldwide), unlike designer heels, which you can easily purchase if you have the money to burn.

This past Saturday, the Air Yeezy IIs went on sale and sold out immediately; grown men camped out for a week outside stores (really, they did!) while others tested their luck via raffles and online contests. The retail price was $245, but the shoes are available on eBay for thousands of dollars, with one pair listed at $90,000.

So after all that commotion, the reality star who is barely ever not spotted in sky-high platforms got a pair — and all she had to do was date the designer.

Whatever.

Zin on June 12th, 2012

Cute!! They look good on big and small feet. Kim is the best, it’s good to see her in a real relationship where she’s really happy. I wonder if she ever thinks about Reggie. Reggie looked so good with Kim, they were so good for each other at one point but I guess she got too big. That’s sad, really. But she seems so happy with Kanye and they do seem like a better match. Awwww, shucks!

janet on June 12th, 2012

I am happy for the both of them. She seems really comfortable around him and It’s sweet at how he gazes at her. The only problem I have with Kanye is his influence on how she should dress. Kim always had a great sense of style(she did start out as a stylist to the stars) but recently her clothes are wearing her. I’m sure Kanye fell in love with her before he had an influence on her clothing choices. What’s funny is usually a woman tries to change the man’s sense of style and it’s in reverse here. So Kanye stick to your music and designing but let Kim be Kim. To Kim please don’t change for anyone. You didn’t come this far to lose your identity. Kanye should trust and respect your judgement(“he fell in love wit Kim….when she was styling herself).

Suzanne on June 12th, 2012

I’d like to throw up everytime peolpe pay any attention to that whoring self-absorbed idiot–and her newest and most self-absorbed boyfriend. I wish ey’d do us all a favoe and hide out FOREVER. They make me so depressed about the possibility for humanity. :(

SusiQ on June 12th, 2012

totally barfable

Danielle on June 12th, 2012

Kim and Kanye looked perfect together, it’s like they complement each other…..IU can see them having babies soon…!

YAWN!

Why do you say duplicate comment every time , people will not want to comment at all

cb on June 12th, 2012

It’s always nice to see a coupole in love. And I’ve never seen either one of them smile so much… Best wishes to both of them.

(Having said that, this story makes me sick — height of absurdity.)

Wendy on June 12th, 2012

OMG , will these 2 just go away..barf is right !

Bobbish on June 12th, 2012

This is totally obscene. There are children throughout the world who don’t have one pair of shoes. TOMS is a brand that if you buy a pair they donate a pair to people who don’t have shoes. This sort of “look at me” attitude shows how totally insecure these two are.

steve hernon on June 12th, 2012

Poor girl. She is just a plaything now to be passed around for all the black playboys to play with.
Sad, she can only continue to deteriorate physically now and that is unfortunate because she could have been happy if her father had lived and taken care of her. None of these boys care for her except to have at her at their leisure

sweetheart81481 on June 12th, 2012

In my valley girl voice, “like totally gag me with a spoon”! Y-U-C-K! I cannot find anything remotely interesting about these two. At least Kanye has some talent, but why he obnoxiously decided to scoop up every other black man’s sloppy seconds is still a profound mystery to me.

daria on June 12th, 2012

I like them together, they seem to enjoy each other’s company. People will continue to hate but they are happy, young, rich and in love so they could care less, more power to them.

cari on June 12th, 2012

Good grief! Do any of these girls know there are white men in this world?????????????

Susie on June 12th, 2012

Just out of curiosity, how much do the Kardashians pay you to continue to promote them on a daily basis? Oh, and how much would it cost for you to stop?

judie7112 on June 12th, 2012

How can this last?

Tam on June 12th, 2012

Great to see her continue to show her excessivess to the world and be all about memememmeme and her boy toy of the month. Did anyone see the picture she posted with the gun? My little sister thought it was cool and I had to set her straight. Kim just doesn’t care what repercussions her actions have on some people. I reall wish this family would go away… I don’t care if someone else takes the limelight. Like the Facebook of MySpace.

ivy on June 12th, 2012

GAG ME. I wish Kim would just disappear. I can’t believe one person can be so totally self-absorbed but then again, the whole K family seems to be as well so I guess it makes sense.

SaraP on June 12th, 2012

Nancy on June 13th, 2012

Kanye West is a proven racist yet he mostly dates white girls, thats cause black girls wouldnt put up with his bull****

Jennifer on June 13th, 2012

Technically, Kim is cheating on Kris H. with this loser. Why doesn’t she give Kris H. the annulment he’s seeking, and let the man move on with his life? It’s not really going to cost her anything.

Kim has obviously moved on with her life, why not give Kris H. the chance to do the same thing? She’s so selfish.

Just Thinkin' on June 13th, 2012

It is a strange world we live in where anybody really cares about who bought what shoe except for peer pressure in our own surroundings. Strange indeed. I think I can live the rest of my life quite happy without my head including information about what shoes Kim and Kanye bought/wear.

MissTmc on June 13th, 2012

Ummm……Is it just me, or are there alot of references to Kanye being a “black” boy, playboy etc by the posters in this site?

I guess race is still a major issue for many. Despite all of the proclamations by white people that black people always play the “race card” or make everything about race. Gee, I wonder why? You literally started it first!

Evolve people…

Guest on June 13th, 2012

Why’s everyone so repulsed?
It’s PEOPLE MAGAZINE!
It’s not like it’s the front page of the New York Times, or wall Street Journal, for that matter.
Were it not for these publications(and their websites)how would you know that you were normal?
Just asking.

This is one of the most read stories. When are people going to stop giving these losers so much air time!

Brandi on June 13th, 2012

It’s not rocket science. If you’re sick of them, anyone giving them attention makes you want to “vomit” (classy by the way) or you want People to stop publishing stories about them, stop commenting. Kardashian stories ALWAYS have the most comments, so people will continue to post them. As for how many starving children they could feed, the amount you are paying for internet access, smart phone, laptop, whatever it is you are posting from, ISN’T a necessity either and could feed a family in your town. The amount of people on here so concerned with the race she chooses to date is also so sad. She is in her thirties and has been linked to what, maybe 5 guys? Taylor Swift has as well, but because her’s are white it’s ok? By the way, I’m more of a Taylor fan than Kardashians, I just despise catty women.
