Yeezy
The shoe is very thin with very few details.

During Kanye West's Sunday Service performance at Coachella, the rapper stepped out in an interesting Yeezy sock-like shoe that had people wondering what he had up his sleeves this time. West has been known for eclectic shoe designs and this sock-like Yeezy was no different. Many of the people in his ensemble were wearing the shoes which led to even more people wondering if these were ever going to release.

While we still don't have an answer to the question above, we do have a better look at the sneaker thanks to Urban Necessities owner Jaysse Lopez who received a pair at his store. He posted pictures of the shoe to Instagram and just like in the pictures from Coachella, it's still hard to tell what Ye was trying to accomplish here. 

On the inside of the shoe, you can see that the tag reads “Coachella Scuba" which means this piece of footwear was made specifically for the musical festival. It was constructed with a neoprene material with heat taping to keep everything together.

These probably won't be releasing anytime soon but if they did, we're sure there would be a lot of people who would want to cop. It might not be the best shoe but as Kanye has proved time and time again, people will buy anything if his name is attached to it.
