Yeezy Boost 350 Flying Off The Shelves, Kanye West For Adidas Goes Global

Mirror.co.uk reported that almost a 100 people waited outside the Foot Locker Store on London's Oxford Street, just to grab one of the 50 pairs of Yeezy Boost 350 black sport shoes by Kanye West for Adidas.

A "sneaker-head" named Madhana Loredo told The Mirror that she had travelled all the way from Oxford to London at 7 am to grab a pair of Kanye's limited-edition trainers. She also told reporters that she was willing to shell out a whopping £1,200 just for the pair. She added that other fans and frenzy shoe collectors were willing to pay "crazy money" for Kanye West shoes for Adidas - approximately £20,000 for the same.

A similar Yeezy fever hit New Zealand, where thousands gathered to get their hands on a pair of "Pirate Black" Yeezy Boost 350 by style icon Kanye West, said Stuff.co.nz. Johansen Miller from Auckland told Stuff.co.nz that he had waited for 50 long hours outside High St's Loaded store to take home a pair of Yeezy Boost 350s.

Sarah Satterthwait, a marketing and brand manager with Adidas told The Sunday Morning Herald that they had to do a raffle to choose a lucky few for Yeezy Boost 350 by Kanye West for Adidas because the supplies were limited. She added "the store employees were announcing the winning ticket numbers on a megaphone and provided security for the shoes."

Independent.ie updated that a similar frenzy was seen in Dublin, where a steady crowd assembled outside Grafton Street's BT2. Only 30 pairs of limited edition were available to the Irish public. To collect one "Mammy of the Year" lined up at 7.20 am to get a "Pirate black" pair for her 16-year-old son, said Independent.ie.

GQ chalked down a "Procrastinator's Guide to Getting the Kanye x Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 Black Sneaker." They asked their visitors to take note of yeezy.supply, where the Yeezy Boost 350 by Kanye West for Adidas could be found online.
