Meanwhile, the scene outside Adidas store in Westfield Sydney too is similar to that in Chicago, Sydney Morning Herald reports. Thousands have queued up outside the Adidas store so that they can get their name in lucky draw of people who will be given the chance to buy the AU $ 260 shoe in black colour.

"I just like the shoes. It's not about Kanye," Michael Irawan, an Aussie teenager told SMH. "They look so good."
