That's How It Happened

This glimpse of Kanye West's sneaker collection comes from an Interior Design slideshow of his new apartment.

"West's nearly 200 pairs of sneakers are stored on custom lacquered MDF sliding racks in the master suite."

"Nearly" 200 pairs is frankly light weight, especially for a quazillionaire, although it's possible he has more on ice. The shelving system is neat, but true kicksaholics always store their sneakers in boxes, to prevent fading in the uppers and splits and cracks in vintage soles. Strangely he isn't rocking that much heat. He and I do have two neck breaking matches in this one photo alone: the Invisible Woman AF1 Premiums, and the Geoff McFetridge Champion Vandals. Next month in Interior Design I'd like to see inside Dave Chappelle's closet. (via)
