Kanye West won the award for Shoe Of The Year for his Yeezy Boosts at the 2015 Footwear News Achievement Awards. Kanye West’s Yeezy Boosts named Shoe of the Year.Kanye has been hugely successful in his shoe line, with every edition of the Yeezy Boost having sold out in stores.
The
multi-award winning rapper started his award speech in typical
eccentric style, saying: “You’re thinking, where’s my suit jacket, but
if my wife’s not here, no suit jacket.”
In case anyone didn’t get
the hint that it was gonna be a true Kanye speech, he added: “If you
don’t like 10-minute profanity-ridden speeches that end with a
presidential bid, you can go to the bathroom.”
“After
the infamous Taylor Swift moment, I did a sort of self exile just to
get away from paparazzi and have people not, you know, just f–king with
me, really. And the first thing I did was I went to Japan and it was me
and Virgil Abloh, who has the brand Off-White, and we just sat on a
computer every day with this idea of designing,” he said. “We designed
on the computer so much we started to joke, ‘Hey, did you wash my jpg?’
Because it never got past the computer screen.”
