Update: Because the winner of the original auction didn’t pay – we are re-lisitng – so here is your last chance!!
As part of the Yeezy For Doernbecher charity auction series, the exact same pair of Nike Air Yeezys that Kanye West debuted on The 50th Annual Grammy Awards is now available at auction on eBay.com. Be sure to visit the auction page HERE.
In the meantime, enjoy an extensive look at the one-of-one Grammy-worn pair in Kanye’s size 12.

definitely the best colorway!
best color love the style black and pink perfect
THESE ARE HEAVY! OHH!
when they come out?
They’re never gunna come out, there’s only one pair made and i think they said they’re never gunna make another pair of these.
Kanye wore them once and then Nike took them away from him haha.
Gee, imagine that, someone from SC not reading! What a huge surprize that is.
probably never Y&G *sigh* I hate bein broke
He flaked? Boo that man!

this is my favorite colorway. too bad im not loaded
thanks for tweeting my comment!
Too bad theyre not 13’s I’d wear ‘em… Not like i could afford ‘em tho
Gee, imagine that, someone from SC flaked on an auction. What a HUGE surprize that is.
Dude these they maddd nice i like. Id buy em for like 100 bucks!!
Best colorway and the perforated leather makes the shoe, subtle pink and the glow in the dark soles.
These look great, hopefully the next person won’t flake because the money is for a good cause.
On a side note, that box looks great, wonder what it costs nike to produce them?
How much would someone pay for a box like that minus the lasering?
I knew whoever won that auction for about 16,500 wasn’t going to end up paying after some sense knocked into their head. 16,500 for a pair of used shoes in a recession that you can’t even wear and specially after Kanyes stupidity and ignorance? Even a celeb would reject those.
lets hope taylor swift buys these
People spend big money on items everyday. Obviously, the “ebay” SBs went for over $30k, but okay they were new. But what about Barry Bond’s record breaking home-run ball? Many people would pay large sums of money for that ball, but I thought Bonds was positive for steroids? How about Kobe Bryant, wasn’t he convicted of rape? But the jerseys that we wore while winning his NBA championships, along with many other items he previous wore, sell for a lot also. Just because these celebrities/icons aren’t appreciated by everybody, it doesn’t mean that other people won’t spend the money on an exclusive item, even if it’s used. But hey, maybe one of the bidders was serious about helping the charity and wanted to gain an exclusive item at the same time.
kobe wasnt convicted, he was accused but the girl refused to testify and the case was dropped
