The thirst for Yeezys is real. That's why, when Adidas announced on Wednesday that Saturday's upcoming Yeezy Boost 750 drop would actually require shoppers to pre-register on the Adidas Confirmed app, the sneakers went fast.

In fact, the shoes were all reserved in a minute.

Literally — from 4:00 p.m. to 4:01 p.m.

Which left plenty of shoppers despairing on Twitter.

Luckily, Kim Kardashian West to the rescue!

She wasn't kidding. In fact, she was willing to give the desperate fan Kanye's own shoes — as in, a pair he personally owns.

This isn't actually Kim's first time engaging so generously with Yeezy fans. Just last week, she tweeted at another fan offering him the hookup:

Is the very hyped — and very limited — cycle of Yeezy shoe drops more than a little aggravating? Sure. But is the fact that the Kardashian-West family actually recognizes the #struggle and is offering up some of their own stash encouraging? Surprisingly, yeah.

TBD on whether Saturday's actual Yeezy Boost 750 drop will bring more surprises from Kim. Might as well keep watching Twitter.
