Kanye West Wins Shoe Of The Year Award for Yeezy Boosts

Kanye West picked up a Shoe Of The Year Award for his Adidas Yeezy Boost line in New York on Wednesday night and wife Kim Kardashian tweeted her congratulations.

'So well deserved,' Kim wrote on her Twitter account, alongside a photo of her husband at the event.
'I see how hard u work & how meaningful this is!' she added.

Kanye received the award from Footwear News that hands out awards to those in the shoe industry each year.
In announcing the decision to honor Kanye, the organization said in an October press release that his sneakers 'have been the most-coveted, most-talked-about, most-recognized shoes this year.'
The budding fashion designer seemed to take it all in his stride, however, looking relaxed as he gave his acceptance speech with his arms folded.

In his acceptance speech, he stressed he doesn't plan on being 'the poor one' in his family.
'I'm waiting on my son to arrive any day now and I look at my daughter and I look at my wife and she's rich and I don't plan on being broke,' he told the audience. 'I'm so, so focused on creating.'
He finished with a message: 'Your job is to create while you are here. And if anything stalls that or gets in the way of that, we have to burn it to the f***ing ground.'
