Kanye West x womens air jordan 1 mid usa “Donda” is Available to Purchase Now

Mere months after the release of his Grammy Award-winning album Graduation, Kanye’s biggest inspiration, his mentor and mother, Donda West, passed away from surgery complications. Kanye was really never the same — but the event did inspire some of Kanye’s best works — including the soon-after release of 808Air Jordan 1 High Wmns Satin Red — Uabat Jordan 1 Retro High Track Red Nike, and during his time at the Swoosh — around the same time he was developing the Nike Air Yeezy 1 — he created a very special pair of sneakers to commemorate his Bia mother.

The pair has only ever been seen in the possession of long-time friend and fellow Chicagoan Don C — until now. Unearthed earlier this week by @NikeAirJordanVI, the size 12 promo pair from 2008 indicates that they could have been produced for Yeezus himself. Before Ye moved onto adidas for ‘more creative freedom,’ he had a deep yearning for the womens air jordan 1 mid usa, seen on the feet of the superstar rapper countless times — even an Air Yeezy 1 Prototype included the womens air jordan 1 mid usa sole unit.

This unreleased womens air jordan 1 mid usa PE features an iconic Chicago-themed colorway (what else would you expect from the local boy?) with white leather uppers, deep red midsole accents, tongues, and liners, and it’s championed by an all-over rose leaf pattern in black. A solitary rose sits prominently on the heels, as does a special rose bush motif on the toe box, and the pair is complete with a callout to Donda and lyrics to Kanye’s “Roses” song printed on the insoles.
