Von Miller lands coveted new Kanye West shoe early image

Between New York Fashion Week and the 2015 NBA All-Star Game, it's a big week in New York City. Athletes from all corners, not just NBA players, will be out at parties, concerts and more, showing off the newest gear in their closet.

Broncos star Von Miller might've shut the game down early by being the first athlete to show off his pair of Kanye West's adidas Yeezy Boost shoes via Instagram on Thursday.

Of course, Miller had a leg up on other athletes. He's an adidas endorser. We'll probably see the All-Star sidelines flooded with these things.

Kanye West dropped two shoes with Nike, but left the Swoosh for the three stripes and has been outspoken, even calling out Nike this week.

The adidas Yeezy Boost retails for $350. Think it's too expensive? Don't worry, it's more than likely you don't have a shot at acquiring them anyway. They became available via the adidas Confirmed app on Thursday and reservations for the shoe were gone in an instant. In fact, those reservations are already fetching top-dollar on eBay.

West is, in his own way, probably overshadowing certain elements of All-Star Weekend between the Yeezy Boost release, his New York Fashion Week show — which looked kind of like a fashionable "Walking Dead" spinoff — and the release of a new song, "Wolves," at the close of the show.
