Is This The adidas YEEZY Basketball Shoe?

Last August, Kanye West confirmed that an adidas YEEZY basketball shoe would release in 2017. While any such release info hasn’t surfaced throughout the first half of 2017, Kanye was recently spotted wearing a curious new high-top sneaker during a quick hoops workout with 2Chainz at the Wooden Center on the UCLA campus. The shoes appear to be a high-top version of the YEEZY Runner that was introduced as part of YEEZY Season 5 earlier this year. Kanye West has an affinity for playing basketball in running shoes, so these could just be a modified version of the YEEZY running shoes as well. More details to come.
