Getting your feet on the new Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 is like setting your foot on the moon. A lot of sneaker fans have been trying to get a pair of the new Yeezys designed by Kanye West but not everyone is lucky enough. How did some manage to get their own pair?

The Grammy-award winning rapper has announced that there will only be 40,000 pairs of the Yeezy Boost 350 V2 available each drop as reported by Independent. According to the news site, there is an estimate of 75-125,000 sneaker fans waiting and hoping to get a pair of Yeezys. This means that each of them only has around 0.25 per cent chance of buying a pair.

Sneaker fans have been posting and tweeting about how frustrating it is, trying get a hold of the Yeezy trainers. Social media posts were merely about rants from fans who have not failed only once.

Meanwhile in London on Tuesday, police were called to respond and control around 500 people at an Offspring store in Shoreditch, who were trying to get a pair of the trainers.

Daily Mail reported that there were wristbands given by the store to limited number of people to control the number of customers entering the store but a few hours later, things have started to get a little out of hand when people started pushing and forcing entrance to the store already full of customers.

On the other hand, there were a few very lucky people who have been posting that they just got their own pair of the new Yeezy trainers. Independent reported that Mike Dee, 35, is one of the lucky ones to get a pair.

According to the report, Dee said that he paid a bot in order for him to get a pair of Yeezys. He also advised that paying a bot is the only way to ensure success in getting a pair of the sneakers. Dee also advised that a person may buy a bot, or pay someone instead.

On Thursday, the Yeezy Boost 350 V2 had already been sold out on Adidas.com priced at $220 a pair.
