Kanye’s New Nike Sneakers Are Selling On eBay For £10,000,000
That's just $18,341,372.20 AUD, based on today's exchange rate. Get bidding, bourgeois lunatics!
Last night, following endless delays and sneakerhead tears, shoemaker Nike shocked its fervent followers by doing a Beyonce and releasing Kanye West’s custom-designed Nike Air Yeezy 2 sneakers — codename: ‘Red October’ — on their online Nike Store without any advance warning. Despite the surprise, sneakerheads hit up their local loans office for instant cash, and the shoes sold out in about six minutes flat, which is actually quicker than the seventh track on Yeezus.

Needless to say, the shoe is already making appearances on eBay, ranging in ‘Buy It Now’ and bid prices from $7000 US to £10,000,000 (only £10.50 for standard delivery!), which is about $18,341,372.20 AUD, based on today’s exchange rate. Get bidding, bourgeois lunatics!
The shoe marks Kanye’s final collaboration with the sneaker giant, after he publicly aligned himself with Adidas last November, in the most shocking fashion feud since Elsa Schiaparelli assaulted Coco Chanel with a lamb cutlet hat at a Parisian garden party in 1930-something.
In related news, Kanye went on a patented Twitter rant to celebrate the tenth anniversary of his breakout album, The College Dropout. Read ’em backwards, and remember the less crazy, stripy polo times.
