Shock. Horror. Kanye West is back in the news, but this time it thankfully comes with a twist.
The rapper/fashion designer who just happens to be married to Kim Kardashian has extended the reach of his ‘’Yeezy’’ footwear range into the NFL but it has come at a cost.
Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, who scored a touchdown in the custom cleats last weekend, has revealed he was fined $6000 for wearing the shoes because they contravene one of the many uniform rules the NFL is famous for.
After telling of his fine, Hopkins said he would need a little help frp, Kanye is he is to continue wearing the shoes (and getting the fines).
''Only if Kanye wants to pay the fine,'' was the response when Hopkins was asked about his shoe plans for this weekend.
Hopefully Hopkins had his fine from last weekend covered as well by West’s people – the Yeezy 350 Cleat he wore sold out on adidas’ website.
Denver Broncos star defensive player Von Miller was another to wear Yeezy cleats in the opening weekend of the season.
