User pinoyako4life paid $90,300 for a pair of West’s new sneakers.

No he didn't, it says right there on the eBay page that user pinoyako4life is the seller, and that the buyer is "a***1 ( 3 )". Typical media illiteracy.

“pinoyako4life is the seller”

I’m pretty sure I would never buy from someone that has an Ebay name that seems to be a take-off on Pinnochio!

Well, there's no way to verify the supply chain for authenticity because the seller's description states, "PLEASE DO NOT ASK ABOUT MY SOURCE."

Just because this item got a $90 grand bid, doesn't mean the seller will get paid. Looking at this seller's feedback left for others, there are many, many unpaid bidders. I seriously doubt this seller will get paid.

I believe the seller’s name breaks down to - pinoy (filipino) + ako (Tagalog for “I” or “me”) + 4life.

At least that is the way I read it.

Did Kanye West pay $90,000 for his own pair of shoes just to create hype?

Yes -- or Nike

Who is Kanye West and why should I care?

I guess young blacks have nothing better to buy than an overpriced pair of tennis shoes.

I highly doubt a young black kid paid the 90 grand. It was either Kanye West himself or a rich white guy trying to be cool. Now if Kanye West bought these than he is more a brilliant business man then I even thought. 90 grand is great advertisement as obviously this story is going to give a ton of exposure to the new shoes. Plus what is the difference in buying a pair of sneakers for 240 when you have woman all the time buying purses for 400 dollars all the time. I don't see you bashing those folks.

A primal, tactile approach to technology runs throughout every element of the Nike Air Yeezy II. Armored animalistic forms imbue the upper. Hand skived anaconda textured leather quarter panels are embellished with a debossed Vac-Tech Nike Swoosh. The molded rear is sculpted with a reptilian inspired spike, while an engineered strap with scaled down spikes was developed to offer a greater sense of symmetry and lock down

"Do they come in black?"
