Though Kanye West did suggest his adidas Yeezy 750 Boost shoes would soon come in black, it seems some aficionados just can’t wait.
Ben Baller, a celebrity jeweler and popular sneakerhead, recently made the following Instagram post showing off what he claimed were “black Boosts.”
Baller received hundreds of comments on the post praising him for having the exclusive shoes before Kanye’s wife, Kim Kardashian chimed in to burst his bubble.
“These don’t come in black. They are fakes.” Kardashian commented.
Perhaps in an effort to save face Baller had to come clean about the shoes and replied back to Kardashian “You could have texted or emailed me. They were custom-made by @d_preme not fake. Smh.”
Apparently, Baller’s shoes are in fact Yeezy 750 Boosts that were custom dyed black from their original color of light brown.
Somehow we get the feeling Baller wouldn’t have ‘fessed up to that little secret had Kardashian not intervened.
