【1989 Archives】

Kanye West's pricey branded sneakers might989 Archivesunobtainable IRL, but... well... they're actually pretty unobtainable in Splatoon 2as well.

But hey! They're in there! Sort of.

You can play dress-up with your Squid Kid in Nintendo's paint-splattered online game, and store inventories rotate every day. Sharp-eyed sneakerheads spotted something familiar on Tuesday in the game's shoe store.

The name isn't right -- not exactly -- but, for anyone familiar with Mr. West's fashion aspirations, the shoe itself is unmistakable. With the exception of missing laces, these kicks are a spitting image of the Yeezy Boost 750.

Unsurprisingly, the "Black Norimaki 750s" -- with a dizzying cost of 9,800 Coins -- is one of the most expensive items in the game (there was a white pair too, apparently). It's also gone -- for now -- as the daily inventory swap has already occurred.

It's not clear if this was an intentional nod on Nintendo's part. Yeezy (the man) isa self-professed fan of video games, particularly the classics. Anyone who was there and witnessed it will never forget the time he showed up at E3 a few years ago; sure enough, Nintendo's booth was one of his stops.

Whether or not it was a knowing homage to Kanye's coveted kicks, @Estemar720 was far from the only Splatoon 2player to spot the resemblance.
