KANYE’S SHOES SELL OUT IN UNDER A MINUTE
Kanye West has still got the Midas touch when it comes to kicks, because his new offering from Adidas sold out in one minute!!! The Yeezy 450 in Cloud Whites flew off the virtual shelves, shutting down critics who thought the weird silhouette was off-putting. There was a mad scramble on the Adidas app and YeezySupply.com, with lots of fans walking away from their computers emptyhanded. They were clearly not quick on the draw, and you know what they say about snoozin’ ... To be specific ... the shoes became available Saturday at 7 AM ... if you were later than 7:01 you’d be SOL. As for pricing ... the shoes retail for $200, but some of the folks who snagged them are asking north of $500. With Kanye’s divorce and all, his shoe biz probably provides some solace. No doubt about it ... when it comes to kicks, Kanye is King. (TMZ)
FC Barcelona boss Ronald Koeman has commented on the arrest of former club president Josep Maria Bartomeu. Bartomeu was one of four individuals who was arrested on Monday in connection with an ongoing investigation into the “Barcagate” scandal which rocked the Catalan giants last year. The former Barca chief is accused of orchestrating a social media smear campaign against a host of his high-profile detractors, including club captain Lionel Messi and vice-captain Gerard Pique. Barcelona’s offices were also raided by Spanish authorities as part of the investigation and Koeman, who was appointed just two months before Bartomeu’s resignation, has now commented on the new developments. “For the image of the club, what happened with Bartomeu is not good,” the Dutchman said ahead of his side’s Copa Del Rey match against Sevilla, per Sport.
