A pair of Kanye West's first Nike Yeezy sneakers, which he debuted on stage at the Grammys, are to be sold, with Sotheby's predicting the shoes could fetch in excess of $1 million.

The Nike Air Yeezy 1 sneakers are part of a private sale -- which means neither the final price nor the buyer will be released unless the individual comes forward.

The sneaker range were the first to be launched by West's Yeezy brand, and caused a fashion furore when he wore them during a 2008 Grammys performance. Previously, Nike had only worked with athletes and West's shoe was a significant break for the US brand.The following year, West ended his partnership with Nike -- deeming his share of the revenue insufficient -- going on to work with Adidas in 2014.

That partnership was a huge commercial success, generating almost $1.7 billion in revenue in 2020, according to an internal UBS bank note cited by Bloomberg.The sneakers, which are being sold by shoe collector Ryan Chang, will be on display in Hong Kong from April 16.Related Stories

There's something terribly wrong with a culture where someone has a million dollars to spend on someone else's shoes.

Why didnt Kanye do a trademark search before using Walmarts logo? Wal-Mart is a horrible corporation.
