Kanye West , 38, should be proud! While many doubted his merge into fashion, he trusted in his vision and it’s paying off big time. With his worldwide shoe launch on June 27, the singer’s sneakers sold out in record time. And fans rushed online to share their thoughts on the madness! Find out what all of Kanye’s fans are saying about the shoes. Many fans jumped online to share their thoughts on Kanye’s new shoe line (see the tweets below), and  Kim Kardashian , 34, also chimed in. “So happy I ran back inside to grab these! Lifesaver on these long flights! Most comfy shoes in the world! Yeezy Boosts 350,” Kim wrote on an Instagram post last week, which was an image of her husband’s new line of shoes. Before his shoe line, he introduced his Yeezy 750 Boost line at New York Fashion Week in February. With the success of that, the shoe line followed, proving Kanye knows what’s up in the fashion department. When it comes to fashion choices, Kanye doesn’t hold back at dishing style advice to those around him.

Kim was one of the ones who fell victim to Kanye’s style guidance. When Kim stopped by Live! with Kelly & Michael on May 25, she opened up about an emotional incident that recently occurred. “[Kanye] put [all of my shoes] that he thought [weren’t] ‘cool enough’ in a pile, and I walked in and it was like a pile to the ceiling of shoes,” she said. buy nike shoes cheap nz“All my amazing shoes that I loved, and I started crying. running shoes for ankle stabilityI was like, ‘I can’t get rid of this stuff, your stylist has no idea what she’s talking about.’ running shoes hot weatherSo I put it all in another room, and I was like, ‘I’ll trust your opinion, but I’m not getting rid of my stuff. price of puma shoes

Do you like how the shoes look? — JJust yesterday Reebok rereleased the hotly anticipated Alien Stomper, a shoe that first gained fame on the heels of Sigourney Weaver in the 1986 film Aliens . The style sold out in 40 minutes . Reebok’s current Alien Stomper is a unisex replica of the one in the film, complete with the bulky tech aesthetics—a thick exoskeleton slapped down with a Velcro strap, a ribbed red tongue that skates up to the shin, and two finger-width straps toward the top—synonymous with the fledgling personal computer era. And it’s not alone in revisiting the robotic clunk of the ’80s.

This spring, Marty McFly’s Nike Air Mag sneakers from 1989’s Back to the Future Part II (a Rollerblade-type silhouette with putty gray coloring, a sole that lights up in ice blue, and a thick ankle strap) will make an in-the-flesh and on-the-shelf comeback. It seems that nowhere is ’80s film nostalgia as relevant as the sneaker market. Collectors aside, this phenomenon of revisiting throwback futuristic movies (and their sneakers) has a definite foothold in current fashion: Both the Adidas Yeezy 950 and 750 Boosts owe some of their postapocalyptic feel to design codas from the likes of Star Wars and Mad Max (flatform soles, sandy colorways); Riccardo Tisci ’s Nike Air Force 1s feel like the haute translation of Michael Keaton’s armored boots in Batman ; Rihanna ’s thigh-skimming Fenty x Puma sneakers were fit for a sporty incarnation of Barbarella. So why is the future of sneakers stuck in the past? Elizabeth Semmelhack, the senior curator at the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto, as well as of the “ Rise of Sneaker Culture ” exhibition, thinks it’s rooted in the era’s optimism. “

Right around that time period we were heading into this horrible economic depression, but it was a time of belief in the future,” says Semmelhack, who compares the look to the era’s first, loud-and-proud brick cell phones. “You see a lot of the push of technology in sneaker design in the mid-’80s, and sneakers themselves getting bigger and more visible.” Semmelhack also notes that the revisitation of the seen-and-be-heard futuristic styles may have to do with the jittery state of international relations and politics today. “Fashion is like this intimate dance between current and past, between memory and future hope, and so I think that it is more interesting that a lot of them are linked to the superhero concept, and we are in a bit of a tense time,” says Semmelhack. “We have drones, which are a hot topic right now. We are finding ourselves militarized in a way that in some ways hearkens back to the movies from the ’80s, so I’m not surprised these kinds of references are weaving their way into fashion.”

Given the amount of overzealous sneakerheads, there is no doubt that the rerelease of these shoes pays off for brands: The Alien Stomper sold out in record time; there has been plenty of buzz surrounding the Back to the Future gear. But these aren’t all simply novelty introductions for the sake of collectors. “Innovation at Nike is not about dreaming of tomorrow. It’s about accelerating toward it,” Nike announced on its website last month . “Sometimes we deliver a reality before others have even begun to imagine it.” Nike’s commercial take on McFly’s superpowered shoes are the self-lacing and very subtle Nike HyperAdapt 1.0—a pair of sneakers that are rechargeable, water-resistant, and which automatically fit themselves to your foot through the activation of a heel sensor, all without the heaviness of their cinematic prototype. And you don’t have to time travel to snag a pair: The kicks are set to release during the 2016 holidays. Seems like McFly was onto something after all.
