Kanye West Air Yeezy II Red Octobers Sell Out, Later Listed on eBay for $16M

Nike released Kanye West's Air Yeezy II Red Octobers on Sunday unexpectedly, and the shoes sold out in 10 minutes after going up at about 1 p.m.

Retailing for $245, buyers then posted the shoes on eBay for sale. The listed prices range anywhere from $610 (influenced solely on bidding) to $10,000. One seller in the UK listed the shoes at £10 million, or $16.39 million, according to Fashionista.

West teamed up with Nike to release a line of sneakers, but he later broke ties with them because he said they didn't pay him royalties fees, which caused him to speak out against the brand.

"They try to act like people ain't line up for the Yeezys. [Nike CEO] Mark Parker tried to son me. Yes. Son me because I am the sun, and I will shine bright. And when I don't have as much money as a billionaire and when I don't have the factories that, that dude has over there, what I do have is my voice. Ain't no corporation that can take me away from my voice and I'm going to scream at the top of my motherf**king mountain as loud as I want."

He then decided to sign a deal with Adidas.

Kim Kardashian first shared a picture of the shoes on Instagram, saying that the shoes had arrive but that "Kanye is rehearsing for his tour so I can't bug him right now..." More than 404,000 people liked the picture. And commenters wondered why the shoes had yet to be released.

A 2012 USA Today article said that fans are willing to pay a 400% markup for Kanye West sneakers. If you are willing to shell out the bucks, head on over to eBay.
