After such a deliciously elongated build up, it was no surprise
that when the Night of the Yeezy finally rolled into Melbourne, there
were some kids who were so excited they needed a dose of Ritalin to
check themselves. After much jockeying to get on the
guestlist, the secret party venue was brilliant and perfect for the
Yeezy – blacklit, glossy and sexified with lasers scoping the room and
go-go dancers Touching the Sky! With tunes tailored by the inimitable
Raph Boogie, the eclectic crowd mingled as rumours swept the room. How
many shoes? Who couldn’t make the guestlist? Who wanted them bad? Who
would miss out? So many questions, so little time. After a brief
introduction, the raffle was on and thankfully it was a painless
process. As each lucky punter's name was called, the tension built
until the final pair was done and dusted. Thanks to everyone at Nike
for putting on a very smooth night that ran like clockwork. Not
everyone could go home with a pair of Kanye's under their armpits, but
Nike made sure everyone was a winner with stacks of Kanye CDs and glow
in the dark Sneaker Freakers for the guests who made it on down. See
you all next week as we visit Sin City for Round Two of the Yeezy
extravaganza!
Thanks also DJ Panda for the photos!
