West didn’t give any description or accompanying information with the photos so it’s unclear if the “sunglasses” are functional or wearable art.

New Yeezy sneaker styles were also in the mix. The first silhouette follows similar designs as the Adidas Yeezy 500 High sneakers with a more futuristic curve to them; the sneaker, tweeted with the caption “Logan’s Run,” boasts a melted metallic gold coating layered over a black knit sock-style upper. The outsole resembles that of cleat spikes with a textured finish and a contrasting ash-gray paint job.

This Yeezy product seemed to fare better on social media, compared to West’s sunglasses.
One wrote on Twitter, “Your designs look like they happen naturally not man made..we can tell your designs by just looking from a far distance. You amazing.” Another said, “Thank you, Kanye. I wasn’t gonna be able to sleep tonight without seeing this. You’re truly the greatest artist of all time.”
Another highly-anticipated look comes in the form of a slip-on, ribbed sneaker sneaker and it’s made for fellow Adidas partner and current Detroit Pistons point guard Derrick Rose. According to the photo’s caption, the style is “coming soon” but no further release details were provided.
