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.

lol u fuckboy, kanye is the greatest rapper of this generation and his clothes are so revolutionary and ahead of their time that clowns like u can’t understand. why do u think his stuff costs so much? because people will pay it, and they
pay it because they understand that kanye is a creative genius. plus hes married to the hottest woman in hollywood, sorry all the other remotely hot chicks wont date dope ass black creative avantgarde geniuses.
ps: those are fake yeezys. real niggas know.
pps: watch what u say about ‘Ye. Church of Yeezus is massive, u never know whos reading and u might catch a fade. fuckboy.

you are joking right? the only people that i know who like kanye west are total posh retards with a lot of time to kill. exactly the kind of people that would follow whatever is served on tv, products like britney spears or paris hilton. and his whoring wife is by no means the hottest woman in hollywood. shes fat and ugly, perfectly fitting to someone like kanye. anyway, you said it yourself: “hollywood” – a bunch of pricks who think they are artists. his clothes are kitsch. they are not even “designer” clothes.
i have to give props to kanye or whoever is his promo manager for managing to find so many idiots who think they are gangsta but instead live in a bubble waiting for their parents’ allowance to go buy some pop and go to the movies. haha fucking idiot

i regard kanye west as THE gayest of the gay. just listen to his music he thinks hes bad ass. he just has a lot of money that he sucked off drooling retards like you by selling shitty flip flops. this article really made my day and im sure it is going to be appreciated by the majority of the skate world (apart from fags who like lil will and justin timberloom)

“kanye is the greatest rapper of this generation” – – have you listened to Mos Def? not saying hes the best but is on a totally different ship. so different that i feel in shame for even putting the two names in the same sentence.

‘To see what it felt like to shred a thousand dollars via kick flips’ I didn’t see any kick flips… It needed a kick flip.
