So Kanye West may not be America's sweetheart, but we gotta hand it to the guy - he knows how to sell a pair of shoes!

Kanye's "Air Yeezy 2" sneaks hit stores over the weekend. Only about 5000 pairs were released, but don't go trying to find a pair for yourself because they're all sold out.

The kicks sold for a hefty price-tag: over three hundred bucks at some retail stores. If you're desperate for a pair of the shoes, try out Ebay - they're selling for a couple grand a pair on there.

Anaconda leather texture and glow-in-the-dark soles, but are the shoes worth 250 bucks? Probably not. It's especially discomforting when people in other countries can't afford shoes at all, but this is just another paycheck for Nike and Kanye West. It's all about being able to have what your friends never will.

Rumor has it Kanye is already at work designing the "Yeezy 3," but in the meantime Kanye...we're really happy for you and Imma let you finish, but the Air Jordan is one of the best Nike shoes of all time!
