Kanye West has defended his small fitting Yeezy sandals, claiming he wore them “the Japanese way”.<\/p>\n
The 41-year-old rapper was teased by his wife Kim Kardashian West for his seemingly ill fitted footwear when they attended 2 Chainz’s wedding last week, and he has now said the flip-flops – which are from his Yeezy line and cost $150 – were not too small, but were in fact worn in a specific way which is popular in Japan.<\/p>\n
The ‘Golddigger’ rapper posted a photo to his Twitter on Tuesday (28.08.18) in a bid to silence the Internet haters and his 37-year-old wife, showing fans that having smaller flip-flops is actually the correct way to wear them as he accompanied the picture with the caption, “The Japanese way”.<\/p>\n
The photo read: “The straps should be snug but not too tight between the two toes. Your heal should extend 1-2cm off the back of the wooden sole.”<\/p>\n
Kanye’s tweet comes after Kim – with whom he has North, five, Saint, two, and Chicago, seven months – posted a video to her Instagram story in which she zoomed in on her husband’s shoes, and laughed at the size-too-small sandals.<\/p>\n

She joked:””The real question is, do those fit?<\/p>\n
“That’s what everyone wants to know. What size are those?”<\/p>\n
The Internet then went into meltdown over Kanye’s choice of footwear with one person writing on Twitter: “#KanyeWest shoes that he wore to 2Chains wedding is exactly what I look like when I borrow my mums slippers to nip out to the garden to get something quickly … (sic)”<\/p>\n
Since the flip-flops appeared on Kanye’s feet at 2 Chainz star-studded wedding – where he tied the knot with Kesha Ward, whom he proposed to at the MET Gala in May this year – the Yeezy design has completely sold out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
