Kanye West has announced the release of his Yeezy III sneaker collaboration with Adidas. It looks like the kicks are due to hit shelves this November. He made the announcement onstage during a concert in Australia this week.
"Now I feel good because we've been working hard and we got the new Yeezys III coming in November and this is just the beginning. This is something that I want to create and do for the rest of my life," West said during the middle of his "Runaway" monologue.
As Complex points out, it is unknown if the sneaker line will continue with the current "Yeezy" moniker or if he'll go with "Yeezi," an alternative spelling he has used in the past.
He also mentioned that this time around fans might actually be able to afford the shoes, unlike with his Nike partnership, where does were going for a ridiculous $16 million, as MTV points out.
"It might have looked a little bit wild when I was talking and turning up but the only thing that matters is that this time next year, when I say, 'Do y'all want Yeezys?' You say you was able to at least try on a pair, at least cop a pair-that they was in your hands and you weren't being held back by some company that will give any athlete $500 billion but if you take somebody that actually is part of this and sent to the office in fourth grade for drawing sneakers and went to art school and decided to do music. They talk to you like it didn't happen, like it wasn't important."
He went on in his speech to talk about his desire to create as well as his legacy.
"Now there's only two times in history: Before Yeezus and after," he added. "Every now and then in life you've got to turn up just to let people know that you ain't playing with them and that they can't play with you. Now it's time to create, which is my dream and why god put me on this earth."
What we really want to know, though, is when we can expect a new album!
