Over the weekend while you were out getting drunk and maybe even getting laid, I was hunting for a shoe. But not just any shoe – I was hunting the new Kanye shoe for Adidas. Now I’m no Hypebeast, but when I heard that the demand for this little sneaker crashed the Adidas app, Footlocker.com, and JimmyJazz.com, and that they were going for $1000 a pair on Craigslist and eBay, I knew we had to get a pair of them. Why?
To skate them of course! We made this clip with Hopps skater Piro Sierra to see what it felt like to shred a thousand dollars via kickflips. To make people remember that these are just shoes. And to make Hypebeasts who are putting them in gold cases feel just a little bit more foolish. So do all of us a favor and send this on to your friend that cares just a little too much about his “dope sneaker collection.”
PS: If you are wondering why there’s no skate audio, our camera got fucked up halfway through filming, so you’re gonna just have to settle for Kanye’s tunes as we burn through his overhyped shoes.

Amazing. That douchebag looks exactly like I imagined every jenkem writer and reader alike. Skates like them, too. The motherfucker probably went back to the trash, got the shoes out, and still wears them like, “Yeah these shoes cost a lot AND I skated in them, what”, fucking tool.

fuck off man, this article is pure gold. takes the piss out of one of musics worst ever “performers”. this dickhead is so retarded that always makes stupid and trashy collaborations that only faggots would appreciate. sorry, not faggots, just really dumb cunts with no taste whatsoever and a lot of money to spend on vane products. and i dont think he bothered to go back to the trash. very few people would wear this kitsch piece of crap even if it was brand new. if i ever walked out of my house wearing these monstrosities i would get vibed to fuck. go die please
