KANYE WEST FANS QUEUE FOR THREE DAYS TO GET HIS NEW SHOE "BLACK YEEZY BOOST 350s"

He may be better known as a rapper and Kim Kardashian's other half, but Kanye West is proving to be a force to be reckoned with in the fashion industry, too.

Indeed, hundreds of fashion fans have been queuing for days to get their hands on a pair of his new trainer designs for Adidas, which are tipped to be released on today.

Shoppers lined the streets in London, Newcastle and Middlesbrough, patiently waiting in the hope of snapping up a pair of the £150 designs.

Only 50 pairs of the trainers, called the black Yeezy Boost 350 Adidas model, will be available from the Foot Locker shop on Oxford Street this weekend.

Almost 100 people lined the street from Thursday evening onwards, according to staff, despite the shoes not being released until Saturday.

However, many fans left empty-handed as shoppers in London were made to register their contact details to get the chance to secure a pair.
