Kanye West is looking to invade the basketball space of apparel with his Yeezy empire. After news broke earlier this week of Kanye building up a potential dream team of high school recruits at Donda Academy, the latest adidas Yeezy BSKTBL Knit sneaker has surfaced.
According to Sole Collector, the slate blue colorway of the BSKTBL silhouette will officially release at some point in December. While there will be a full sizing run, adult pairs are scheduled to retail for $260.
As usual, there have been mixed reactions to Kanye’s latest model which boasts a black ankle sock to provide support for ballers above the two-tone color scheme.
“If there ever was a picture of the words “hard pass” this would be it,” one fan wrote while another called the kicks “fire.”
Earlier this week, Kanye West made headlines with a few of his early star-studded recruits allegedly transferring to his Donda Academy in Simi Valley, California, to suit up on the basketball team next season.
Five-star class of 2024 recruit Jahki Howard, University of North Carolina commit Robert Dillingham (class of 2023) and four-star recruit Jalen Hooks have all made their choice known that they’ll be joining forces to play at Donda Academy.

According to Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson, uniform apparel and sneakers will be coming courtesy of Kanye’s partner adidas for the team.
I don’t like any yeezy gear period. Seen it on try hard dudes before the pandemic and it never was popping at any time. Jay Z is creative director at Puma and they are doing it right keeping it simple and old school with the classic Puma cuts and logo. But I guess this is big with collectors and Ye is making a mint off this
Those shoes are ugly. Every piece of clothing klownye comes up with are just bizarre and ugly. Who the hell wearing those ugly ass shoes ? He needs to work on his oral hygiene walking around with his breath smelling like Ray J genitals.
Ummm. They always sell out. Lots of people are wearing them. Ugly or not. You’re a big dim, huh?
You must be a Kanye dickrider.. shut up. I bet you’re a lil nas x fan too. LOL His shoes look trash and retail at high prices because of “hype beast” I’d rather spend 200-300 on dunks before I buy this trash. Kanye sold out a long time ago.
Is rick ross a sell out what about snoop and jay z or ice cube do you still have that same energy with these guys?
Who are telling??! They’re all wack as fuck
So don’t buy em. And sthu. When did being a Russian emo bot become a thing?
300 on dunks lol, it is dunks that are nothing but hype (except a few sb collaborations that actually look nice, but they still trash and uncomfortable today).
Say what you want about Yeezys (I myself only like the 350v2s and 700v1&v2s) but all shoes he makes are incredibly comfortable, and scream future. It is what it is.
He consistently manages to out ugly his previous shoe. They always sell out and are resold in the secondary market for over $1000. He is a genius. LOL
If you call overhyping your fanbase and selling out being genius than I guess you’re right. Who the fuck would actually pay 1000 for those ugly ass sneakers? I’d rather buy something of real value for 1000. If you pay 1000 for a pair of ugly sneakers are you actually going to wear them. I’m just trying to understand lol
There’s a lot of ugly so-called art out there selling for ridiculous prices it’s all about the name dont hate
I call starting a company from nothing that now worth over 2 billion genius.
Someone is going to get hurt wearing those.
I feel sorry for the Division 1 recruits that commited to his school that doesn’t yet exist, doesn’t have a coach and has never played a game. Smells like Trump University and those are the ugliest shoes I’ve ever seen.
You mad u didn’t cut it for your special Ed’s team bro?
Looks like grovers dick
