Like it or not, the adidas Yeezy Boost is the shoe of the year. Footwear News cemented Kanye West with that distinction last night, but all around the globe, sneakerheads will agree that nothing caused as much noise and industry-shaking moves like Kanye West’s “Yeezy” did. Despite the Nike Mag hoopla and all the Remastered Jordan Retros that came in 2015, Yeezy Boosts dictated the pace and his four sneaker releases (so far) had more than just sneakerheads giving adidas attention. Your thoughts on this award? Check out a snippet from his acceptance speech below and let us know if you agree with the Yeezy Boost being the shoe of the year.
