Kanye West fans were in a frenzy this weekend after the rapper's latest line of Adidas sneakers, the Yeezy Boost 350, immediately sold out.
Fans waited in hours-long lines outside of Adidas stores from London to Chicago to get the sneakers on Saturday, but the majority of the $200 limited edition shoes were reserved for customers who had pre-ordered online.
Most who went to purchase online day-of were greeted by this:
Just an hour after the sneakers went on sale to the general public Saturday morning at approximately 11:25 a.m. EST, the official Adidas Twitter account posted: "#YEEZYBOOST 350 is now sold out online in the U.S."
People went nuts online, expressing their frustration via Twitter:
