If you watched the gradiose opera spectacle that is the Yeezus tour and thought to yourself, Where can I get Kanye's abominable sneakers?, you're in luck because they just hit the market. Ye's pony-hair boots, designed specially for his Yeezus wardrobe by Maison Martin Margiela have just landed on the design house's website for $975. Yes, you could have bought almost 28 of Kanye's Wes Lang-designed, skeletons and confederate flag-themed t-shirts for that amount but this is the price you have to pay to dress like a God. For that, it's a drop in the ocean, really. Plus, it's on the lower end of Kanye's past footwear: the first shoe he sold, in collaboration with Giuseppe Zanotti, went for $5800, the second pair sold for $1695, and his impossible-to-buy Red Octobers were being resold on eBay for up to $16.3 million. Sadly, Margiela isn't throwing in a mask with purchase.

If you're trying to wrap your head around how you'd wear them and need outfit inspo, Kanye wore the Italian-made, pony-hair shoes with a pair of ripped grey parachute pants, a black crystal-ecrusted mask, and a bomber jacket with no shirt. But furry shoes are so in right now, you wouldn't even draw that much attention on the streets. Acne has an even muppet-ier version for less at $620 and, two years ago, Céline—Kanye's go-to brand for silk women's shirts—showed mink heels and shower slides on their runway for spring 2013.

Now, "Where to purchase one of Kanye's masks?" is the question.
