For months, we've anticipated seeing the first images of what Kanye West is cooking up with his new partners at adidas. We were supposed to see the 'new Yeezy' last month, but June came and went without an unveiling. Since then, nothing but silence, as Kanye has reportedly hit the studio to record new music. Is it possible that the new music and new sneakers will release around the same time?

While we wait to find out, an interesting picture surfaced online earlier today. The photo, which is apparently some kind of catalog shot for early 2015, highlights a new Flux-like silhouette next to an image of Kanye. We're also clued into a possible second week of March launch.

The photo doesn't confirm that the new shoe is a Kanye collaboration. It could simply be a shoe Originals designers put together with him in mind. Or it could, indeed, be a design he had input on. We'll have to wait to find out.

What do you think? Whether it's a Kanye shoe or not, are you intrigued by the new design? Share your thoughts with us in the comment section and stick with Sole Collector for updates.

UPDATE: Here's a live look at what we're being told is the adidas 'Tubular.' While we can't confirm any of the specifics, the shoe in the picture appears to blend elements of the Y3 Qasa, ZX Flux and archive ZX runners. Again, we're not confirming this as an official Kanye West collaboration, just reporting the information as it's being presented by the sources.
