NEWS: THE REAL STORY ABOUT HOW THE YEEZY BOOSTS LEAKED

THE REAL STORY ABOUT HOW THE YEEZY BOOSTS LEAKED

You think you know, but you have no idea... this is the story of how the Yeezy Boosts leaked. 

By now, you're all familiar with Kanye West's Adidas Yeezy 750 Boost, as the kicks have become one of the most sought after sneakers of the year. Prior to their release in February, the sneakers were leaked on instagram courtesy of IBN Jasper, the man who has been Kanye's personal barber since before 'The College Dropout.' 

In a recent interview, Jasper explains how he became the person to deliver the first images of the Yeezy Boost, after receiving permission from Kanye himself. 

“We were in the back of the car on the way to the Tidal release and Ye just casually told me to post a pic of the Boosts.”

“He had to have thought about the lift that posting the Boosts would give me,” Ibn insists. “He just encouraged me to post. The media wants to make him this monster. They never focus on his charity.”

Those six leaked images blew up all over the internet, creating even more hype around the shoe, and IBN Jasper walked away with nearly 30,000 new followers- which is all that really counts anymore. 

The Yeezy 750 Boosts will be re-releasing in June, as will a low-top version dubbed the Yeezy 350 Boost Low.

KANYE WEST X ADIDAS ORIGINALS YEEZY SEASON 1 PRICING INFO

 If you're in the market for some Kanye West x Adidas Originals gear we have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that the Yeezy Boost Low will be cheaper than the $350 high-top version, and will retail for roughly $210. That's it for the good news.

Entry level clothing goods from Kanye West's Yeezy Season 1, such as sweatshirts and hoodies, will be going for around $430. Duckboots will run you about $500, as will a canvas backpack. A CANVAS BACKPACK!

Furthermore, knitwear pieces will start $875+ and range all the way up to $1650. You don't even want to know about the price of some Kanye x Adidas Originals outerwear. 

But, since we're here- jackets and the like will range from $1760 to nearly $4,000. Of course, each of the pieces were made in Italy from only the finest materials, so maybe the price is warranted? Nah, we're talking about ADIDAS here, the same company that made those sneakers with the wings hanging off the back. 

In any event, Yeezy Season 1 is scheduled to launch in the Fall/Winter of 2015, which will give you plenty of time to stack your chips so you can buy a sleeve of a Kanye West x Adidas Originals hoodie, or the zipper off one of the backpacks.

NEWS: KANYE DISHES ADIDAS YEEZY BOOST RELEASE INFORMATION

 KANYE DISHES ADIDAS YEEZY BOOST RELEASE INFORMATION

'Eventually everyone who wants Yeezys will get them.' That's what Kanye West had to say in an interview with Ryan Seacrest this morning regarding his much anticipated Adidas Yeezy Boost release. By now most of you know the kicks will initially launch in the New York City area on February 14th. 

According to Kanye, the pig-sueded Yeezy Boost- of which only 9,000 were made- will carry a $350 price tag. Speaking with Seacrest, 'Ye said; 

"The shoes come out this Saturday. There are only 9,000. They're $350. I just wanna make sure we keep it safe. I've heard about people getting hurt over sneaker culture…Just be patient, we'll make more Yeezys. Eventually everyone who wants Yeezys will get them."

Of course, if you want to be one of the first to shell out $350 for Kanye's first Adidas collab, you'll need to download Adidas' 'Confirmed' app which will allow you to reserve a pair once they become available. 

There's no telling the type of madness that will ensue once the Adidas Yeezy Boost officially hits retailers but you know the re-sale prices on eBay will be through the roof, regardless of what Kanye has to say about availability. 

It's important to keep in mind, these shoes strongly resemble the ones that Peter Pan wore when he was getting lit with the Lost Boys. So don't go apeshit if you don't get one of the 9,000 pairs.

"I wanna apologize to all the kids and all the parents that can't get the shoes currently cause there's only 9,000" #KanyeOnSeacrest
