The retail price for these shoes is $200 (around RM887), but can reach over $300 (around RM1,330) in resale prices.
Naturally, like all public opinion, people were quickly divided.
Most people were quick to call the shoes out for being an ugly design, likening it to various kinds of food.
Most popularly, the shoes were likened to pasta, although others also claimed its similarities to dumplings, croissant, butter, and more.
I'll have them, but only if they come with the soy and rice vinegar dip. I'm not keen on the sweet chilli. pic.twitter.com/7cJqvw17yn

What's it filled with? Beef and onion or chicken and mushroom?

Melted pastry! Worth noting, just because you can, doesn’t mean you should!

Told my wife I was going to make some trainers out of eggs and flour, she didn’t believe me. Should have seen her face when I ran pasta.

Not the first odd design
This isn’t the first design that has raised eyebrows, of course. With Kanye West as the face of the brand, Yeezys are known for their outrageous shoe designs and secretive release dates, which feeds into their hype status.
Most collectors do not actually wear these designer shoes, but instead like to keep them on display, much like an art piece.

Others swipe the shoes to resell at the higher price while banking on Yeezy’s brand name and exclusivity.
Still, whether or not you’re a personal fan of the shoes, fashion is fashion… not style.
