ANOTHER AWARD FOR YEEZUS!
Kanye West is used to getting awards, but they’re mostly in the rap realm. Now, he’s out here getting recognize for his contributions to the fashion world, as the Footwear News Achievement Awards have now presented him with “Shoe of the Year” for their 29th annual achievement awards in New York City. The sneaker in question was the adidas Yeezy Boost 350, which has been a big seller and milestone for Mr. West.
No award would be official unless he was giving a speech and for this one, he takes 20 minutes to talk about how he got his start in fashion after the Taylor Swift incident, who he’s gotten inspiration from and why he cares so much about design and product.
