Rap icon Kanye West has won yet another award, only this one’s not for music. West was recently given the Shoe of the Year Award from Footwear News and, yikes, he actually attended the ceremony to pick up this lame award in person.
The West-designed Yeezy Boost 350 was honored at the 29th Annual Footwear News Achievement Awards, a pretty pathetic-sounding industry event some have sadly dubbed the “Shoe Oscars.”
One of the biggest recording artists of the past 15 years had both the time and inclination to walk up to the stage of this party for shoes and collect a shoe trophy. Not only that, he gave, like, a whole five-minute speech.
