Yeezy Mafia tweeted on Monday (July 11): “HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE SULFUR SO FAR?”, to which Greggs replied: “Two sausage rolls short of a multipack”.

This prompted numerous responses to the post, with one person tweeting: “Just need to pop it in the oven to warm up lol.”

Another person added: “Whatever you do, don’t chew the shoes," while a third wrote: "Kanye, get these in vegan?” There were also comparisons made to Cornish pasties and Crocs.

The Yeezy 450 Sulfur shoe was announced in May and features a unique-looking design in tonal cream. It has one-piece Primeknit uppers with tightened bands around the ankle and an EVA foam outsole. It has a retail price of $200 (£170).

Last month, West called out Adidas over their recently-released Adilette 22 slide sandals, saying the shoe is “a fake Yeezy made by Adidas themselves”.
