Fashion Industry & Fans React To Kanye’s Big Shoe Of The Year Win

It was a big night for Kanye West. The mogul took home the Footwear News Achievement Award for Shoe of the Year for his much buzzed about Yeezy Boost collaboration with Adidas Originals.  While Kanye was accepting his award, many in the shoe biz were celebrating alongside him after a whirlwind year for the designer.

Jon Wexler, Adidas’ global director of entertainment and influencer marketing, gave West a major shoutout on social media, especially after West gave a special nod to the Adidas team during his speech.
