Loads of people have started queuing on Grafton Street for Kanye West runners

They’re not available until TOMORROW.

IF YOU WALKED down Grafton Street today, you’d have spotted several young men sitting on deckchairs outside BT2.

But they were not just soaking up the rays. (Did we mention it was a lovely day?)

They’re actually camping outside in advance of the release of Yeezy Boost 350.

What’s the Yeezy Boost 350, you ask? It’s a runner designed for Adidas by Kanye West.

Adidas states that the limited edition shoe is “exquisitely designed” and “transcends current sneaker trends”.

You hear that? They’re transcendent.

The shoes become available at 9am tomorrow morning and retail for €200. As BT2 only have a limited number of pairs in stock, they are not accepting reservations.

Hence why people have been queuing on Grafton Street since this morning.

This is not the first time Dubliners have gone mad for Kanye West footwear.

Earlier this summer, throngs of people queued outside BT2 to get a limited edition white pair of Yeezy Boost 350s.

    Parking legally usually sorts that one out.

    “So I’m going to give you something that weighs over 1 ton and costs the best part of 10 grand. Don’t lose it”

    Beware the InApp purchases particularly if you have kids playing with the iphone or ipad!

    Best of luck to all the brave start-ups across Ireland (we’re gonna need it)!

    If you are on LinkedIn we’re a new start up for businesses looking to reduce their energy costs (http://www.linkedin.com/company/energyelephant-com).

    On the finance side, we’ve learned the hard way that the best way to raise finance is to find paying customers. It is easier and less time consuming than any of the grant processes which to be honest are almost a waste of your time and effort unless you have no other options.
