At first glance, it appears that Walmart – yes, as in “the prices keep rolling, rolling, rolling” – is selling Kanye West’s sneakers: the Yeezys.
However, as Sole Collector points out, the Yeezys are being sold on Walmart’s ecommerce site, which apparently acts as a proxy of sorts. It lists items for sale by retailers other than Walmart.
The "Red October" Nike Air Yeezy II Is Now Available At Walmart https://t.co/tBjSEzqhAT #SuCity #Music— SuCity Entertainment (@SuCityRecords) September 1, 2016
As you can see in the tweet above, there is one pair of “Red October” Air Yeezy 2s available for $6,499. That’s not exactly your standard Walmart discount.
But this isn’t the only pair of high-profile sneakers available on Walmart.com, and that’s sent Twitter into an absolute tailspin.
From calling these Kanye kicks fake to clowning about the fact that such a coveted pair of shoes is available at a place like Walmart in the first place, here’s how Twitter is currently making fun of Walmart and – by extension – Kanye.
