*People needed to trade in one of their on-feet shoes for the new QNTM shoes.
Kinda odd way to do things, but I think the point was to celebrate Chicago, the shoe launch, and the NBA All-Star game.

QNTM sneakers go on sale this weekend in select stores $250 MSRP and resell anywhere from $500-1000 USD
The basketball version of the QNTM will debut at the NBA All-Star Game in Chicago tomorrow.

So wait you give one shoe and get a pair or do you have to hand over a pair for a pair?

You give one shoe and you get a pair.
It's bizzare af. In a lot of sneaker giveaways if you win expensive shoes, they make you wear them right away so they are no longer in mint condition. This means the shoes won't be worth as much on the resale market and it's like confirmation that you will keep the shoes.

I thought sherps was short for Sherpas and was wondering why a group was called a fleet. Kinda disappointed tbh

It's cool of him to do this. Credit where credit is due.
He's still a giant tap-dancing negro.

Kanye would have to do massive MASSIVE amounts of civil rights activism for me to forgive him. And I've been a fan since TCD. I can't call myself one anymore though. I'm still able to listen to his old stuff because that person exists entirely separate from who the current Kanye is now. But anything post Yeezus I have trouble bumping because it was current Kanye who made it.

yep, Kanye was one of the first times it bummed me out to drop someone and I don't do that lightly. Came up with so much of his stuff all the way back to when he first joined the scene. Know the lyrics to most of his songs, even the boost mobile commercial lol, but fuck this dude as of now.
