While sneaker heads slept over night outside stores, pairs sold on ebay for $10,000, and some shoe fanciers took out loans to afford the highly coveted – and limited – adidas Yeezy Boost 350’s, NYC-based skate magazine Jenkem managed to get their hands on a pair – only to completely annihilate them by skating around New York, through puddles, hanging off taxis and doing kickflips. Sometimes you just want to watch something beautiful burn.

According to Jenkem: ‘We made this clip to see what it felt like to shred a thousand dollars via kickflips. To make people remember that these are just shoes. And to make Hypebeasts who are putting them in gold cases feel just a little bit more stupid. So do all of us a favor and send this on to your friend that cares just a little too much about his ‘dope sneaker collection.‘ Ouch.
