    Truth be told Kanye’s 15 minutes of fame is not up yet….the public(believe it or not) is still feelin him. Yea… his influence still shining. I gave a girl a pair for spring break…..and she was on the dizzle for shizzle…..PRICELESS!

    Are you serious? No I don’t think Kanye would buy some shit that he made trendy. Yes people will buy these and they are the ones who probably matter most to Kanye’s career album sales and popularity.
