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.

would have been cool if he did more than ride around and scrape the shoes on the ground. bull tries to hard, like he really had to fuck witha bum, skitch some taxis and put the shoe on a cop car so we all know he’s a tru nyc skater lol. waste of $1000 dollars, of course the shoes are wack and arent worth that much but you coulda bought ten kids a new board and shoes or 3 pounds of weed or literally anything that would have been more productive than basically advertising the shoes you were trying (and failed) to make fun of.

Or they could have bought a solid pair of trekking shoes and give them to the poor guy sleeping on the park bench wearing sandals with holes in his socks…and kept skating without wasting a day of their life on that kind of crap.
