A video blogger who goes by NameBranClothing thought to pull a stunt for his YouTube followers by deep-frying his tan Yeezy Boost 350 sneakers. The footwear is Kanye West's creation with Adidas and the brand is much sought-after among sneakerheads.
NameBranClothing proceeded to show how he butchered his Yeezy in the video by prepping the batter - appearing drunk while doing so - according to New York Magazine. "Honestly, I feel like it's going to be really, really dope to have a deep-fried pair of Yeezys on my shelf in my room in the background of my videos. I feel like that's so much doper to me than wearing them on my feet," the vlogger said.
After successfully deep-frying the shoe, NameBranClothing breaks off the coating and eats it like fried chicken, but he later claimed to have washed the coating off and said that his Yeezy still "look as trill as ever" in the YouTube comments.
While the vlogger regularly does inexplicable things on his YouTube channel, some followers didn't quite people appreciate his latest stunt. "If you are seeking for attention and I'm certain that you are why don't you just donate them to someone homeless," said one commenter, Abdullah Mohsen. "That would get you more than 500,000 views. Also Kanye West or Kim Kardashian would've recognized you. You honestly would've probably got another pair. That's not even the important part. Giving away a pair of Yeezys would make the homeless person happy and you happy. You would've gotten good deeds and be happy," added Mohsen.
"I can't stand this new trend of purposely f--king up expensive shoes," said another commenter.
"Stop doing sh-t like this just for attention cause the only type of attention your getting is hate," suggested another follower.
Yeezy Boost 350 Oxford Tan, released Dec. 29, 2015, cost $200, according to Sneaker News. This particular pair is no longer available in the market.
Yeezy Boost recently re-released its 350 Pirate Black version Friday, Feb. 19, but soon sold out in stores after a day, according to CNBC. Pirate Black was originally released in August 2015.
