Kanye West‘s first sneaker collaboration with Nike, The Air Yeezys, were some of the most sought after pairs of footwear in recent memory.
To have the Yeezys showed your dedication as a sneakerhead and your trust in Kanye as a trendsetter.
So you can imagine the shock when a fan had Kanye West sign his own pair of Yeezys, and then, in front of a crowd, Kanye informed the fan that they were fake.
“These are not real though,” Kanye told the confused fan, smiling. “You know these aren’t real right?”
Who would know his own product better than Yeezy himself? Kanye did still sign the fan’s sneakers – but did he go too far?
