In insane inevitabilities: Kanye West's latest footwear creation, the Yeezy Boost 350 is already selling on eBay for upwards of $1,000. In case you're quick with math that's about five times the $200 retail value. Is anyone (honestly) surprised? No. After all, Adidas' reserved app, which is meant to fuel control the frenzy sold out of its stock in about ten seconds. And on Saturday morning sneakerheads across Europe and Canada were said to have depleted remaining stock in under an hour. Yeezus have mercy.
