Somewhere (most likely Calabasas, California), Kanye West has been tweeting. And for the most part, Twitter users have been able to keep up enthusiastically.
Ever since West’s return to Twitter after his reported breakdown and subsequent hiatus, the rapper and fashion designer has been giving his followers their fair share of motivational quotes from his philosophy book and insight into the production process behind his upcoming albums.
West has also been giving Twitter some behind-the-scenes views into his latest designs for Yeezy, his high-end clothing line in partnership with adidas. For the most part, the clothing, including sneakers, hasn’t been particularly surprising.
Until *record scratch* these.

You’re probably wondering if those are Crocs. If Kris Jenner were to respond, she’d likely giggle, tell you that it’s Krocs “with a K,” and immediately trademark it.
Either way, no they’re not Crocs.
These are actually Kanye West’s new Yeezy slides. Just in case you’re unfamiliar (and hopefully you are), slides are essentially sandals, but are considered a bit more socially acceptable than flip flops.
In this case, though, Twitter users didn’t find anything about these shoes socially acceptable. In fact, they mostly pointed out that West’s designs are quite the opposite. Check out some of the best reactions below. Are you feeling them? HOT OR NOT?
