The shoes have been characterized as being “foldable” and “travel-friendly” and are available in a black colorway.

The product was reportedly crafted from a stretchy knit material, the shoes appear to reach the wearer’s mid-shin and boast a thin, rubber sole for a tiny ounce of protection.

An official statement announced: “YEEZY debuts the foldable future of footwear, YZY POD.” They can be pre-ordered for a whopping $200.

Many people were stunned to learn about the odd-looking shoe’s price, as a person wrote on social media: “Who is paying [$200] for a pair of socks lol.”

Another individual commented: “Is it $200 per sock, or do you get a pair?”

A separate person chimed in: “YE $200 for a sock is crazy.”

The post seemingly took a jab at Ye, as Guram reportedly believes his design has been copied.

As perUnilad, Kenneth Anand, who works for Kanye’s brand, Yeezy, defended the high price tag as, according to him, it is reflective of the high quality of the materials used in manufacturing the garments.

Kenneth explained: “People who are criticizing the price of the Yeezy sock shoes may not understand the high cost of making quality products, especially for independent brands.”
