The Ewing Athletics 33 Hi “Yeeeah Baby,” which was designed with the help of the rapper’s family, features a red patent leather upper that changes in tone depending on the way the light hits the shoe. The look is also designed with an iridescent shine that was inspired by baguette diamonds on the cover and icy translucent outsoles with metallic flecks.
