KanyeWest's Adidas YeezyBoost sneakers have been named "Shoe of the Year" by Footwear News.
The rapper will take home the accolade on Dec. 2 at the 2015 Footwear News Achievement Awards, which is now in its 29th year.
“This year's Shoe of the Year honour recognises the insatiable demand for all things Yeezy,” wrote Footwear News. “The sneaker releases dominated the market in 2015 as demand for the product crashed servers, sparked extraordinary resale value and created a need for mob control in stores. From the moment Kanye West unveiled the 750 high-tops on the Grammys, his Adidas sneakers have been the most-coveted, most-talked-about, most-recognized shoes this year.
According to Refinery29, the Yeezy Boost 350, priced at $200, sold out in 12 minutes when it went on sale on June 27, with pairs going for up to $10,000 on eBay.
