Aside from building an impressive discography in the music world, his forays into footwear have left a resounding impact on sneaker culture as well. People loved his collaborative efforts with Louis Vuitton, and went absolutely nuts over his stuff with Nike. But ever since Kanye West jumped ship to the brand with the Three Stripes, regardless of whether you like 'Ye or not, sneakerheads are eagerly anticipating the next chapter in Kanye West's love for designing footwear.

Over the Adidas Global Brand Conference which was held earlier today in Germany, Kanye West took some time to address the crowd following his live set. Leading up to the conference, Kanye has been spotted in shoes from the Adidas ZX Line as well as the Yohji Yamamoto tie-up, Y-3. So far, no new designs have been leaked nor spotted on the feet of Kanye himself or anyone in his circle like Kim Kardashian, Virgil Abloh, and the rest of the Been Trill Collective.

As Kanye took the mic, many people were indeed curious to see what he had on his feet, so they must have been slightly disappointed when they saw him in a pair of Stan Smiths. He spoke to the crowd on creativity, ending by dropping the bomb of a reveal that the "New Yeezys" will be unveiled in June.
At this point, there's still so many things left to speculation. How much will they cost? Will they be generally available or sold in limited numbers? Past reports have shown Kanye's desire to create product that would be readily available to everyone, and not like how Nike treated the Yeezys. As noble as that sounds, there's no telling what's going to happen once the release draws near and when the hype reaches full tilt.
Are you going to be picking up a pair of the "New Yeezys" when they drop this year?
