There’s absolutely no denying that Kanye West’s Yeezy brand is a sneaker empire right now. Outside of Michael Jordan himself, there’s no singular figure more closely associated to sneakers than West.
But, my goodness, does Kanye West make some absolutely awful sneakers at times. The latest case: A sample of the Yeezy 451 leaked on Wednesday and these things look terrible.
Honestly, these sneakers look like wet potato sacks. I’m unsure how you’re even supposed to slide them on your feet. It was like they were going for the whole “sock with a sole” look but ended up creating a… is that a dumpling?
Yup, that’s a dumpling. Tell me they don’t look like they’d go great with some soy sauce right now. You can’t. Because that’s exactly what it is. We have proof.
The only person that thinks this sample is a good idea is Kanye West. That has to be it. Everyone else is clowning them.
I wanted to give this shoe more of a chance. It is a sample, after all, so this probably won’t be the final version. And they’re not even on foot! All shoes look better on foot.
Except these. After doing two seconds of research, we have determined that these do not look any better on foot.
At this point, you can’t tell me Ye isn’t just throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks. This looks like something a 12 year old would create on NBA 2k or something.
But, you know what? I can’t even really blame Kanye for this. Every other Yeezy ever has sold out in seconds. This one probably won’t be any different — even if it does look like a shoe cover instead of an actual shoe.
