Kanye West's Nike Air Yeezy II sneakers hit eBay with $89,000 price tag (but if you can wait till the June 9 launch, you'll only have to pay $245)


Kanye West's limited edition sneakers have proven, if only temporarily, to be worth a whopping $89,100 to one seller on eBay.

TMZ spotted the astounding pre-order price listed for the Nike Air Yeezy IIs before it mysteriously vanished from the website.

With so many vendors offering a pre-sale on the sought after kicks, prices currently range from the hundreds to the thousands prompting the question of whether the hopeful seller priced himself out of the market.

West designed the shoes for people with similarly 'slim' feet to those of the musician himself as a second collaboration with the sporting brand.

The limited-edition new kicks, which go on sale in the U.S. on June 9, will retail for $250, but with such high demand the price has skyrocketed on eBay as wily vendors seduce the rapper's most die-hard fans who want to ensure they get their hands on a pair.

The new design will be available in various colours, such as the black and 'solar red' version that the musician wore during his performance at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in New York last November.
