The 750 Boost was never meant to be a shoe. West set himself up so that he had to create something conceptual that eclipsed his own hype, but that couldn't be done with just a shoe. Shoes have too many limitations. They have to be beautiful, culturally relevant, but also fit onto a foot, be relatively comfortable, and hold up against being dragged across the floor for hours every day the wearer wears them. West could circumvent a huge portion of that and bring his largest vision to life if he didn’t treat it as a shoe. So he created a sculpture in the shape of a shoe: The fit is awkward. The construction is clumsy. The shoe is heavy, the components are thick, and the interior isn't shaped like a human foot. The suede buckles after just a wear or two. The zippers break. The Velcro rarely fits squarely on its conjoining pad. That is not to say no one should wear this shoe, but they shouldn't wear it expecting to have an effortless or universally comfortable experience, like almost any other Boost sneaker. The wearer is meant to buy the shoe, put it on their shelf, and congratulate themselves daily for owning it (and congratulate Kanye West for making it).
