Kanye West Pan Am Games Mic

Yeezy Boosts are for performance, you say? The upper construction of the adidas Yeezy 350 Boost was made for comfort and everyday use, but the Boost-laden midsole packs plenty of cushioning punch. Just watch how much air Kanye West gets when he angrily throws his malfunctioning microphone in the air during the Pan Am games.
