Thought of this idea while I was backpacking through Europe for a month.
I didn't have the money to spend on the yeezys let alone the time so i formulated my own custom.

So the base shoe is;


& the inspiration is;


This is a (horrible) photoshop i envisioned for the shoes.


Sorry for not having any during process pics but here they are finished;







The inside of the shoe is fabricated with a magenta cotton fabric and i didn't see the point of
doing the whole inside b/c when you wear them only the top will show


The toe and side panels are taken off my old high school reebok beaters,
i simply just used contact binding glue and they were permanently on.


The strap is made straight from actual Velcro.


& here's some more extra pics for your enjoyment:







Enjoy, the Poor Man's Yeezy.

how'd you do the lining?

these need some tweaks, but youre really onto something with these. a couple changes in the construction and you'd have a winner

oh yeah....what kinda watch is that? its NICE

and im sure they wouldnt go for a couple hundred.. lol
 
nice idea,
the finished product could have been better....
looks a little 'sloppy',
but dope nontheless....
