In a delightful viral moment, a grandmother’s candid review of Kanye West’s Yeezy Boost 350 sneakers has captivated audiences, and she undeniably deserves a VIP pass to every major fashion event. While many struggle to keep pace with ever-changing fashion trends, this outspoken grandma offers unfiltered opinions, showing a refreshing disregard for current fads.
In her amusing video, she boldly critiques the sneakers gifted to her, demonstrating an astute sense of style. Dressed in a vibrant, gem-studded purple tee with stylish glasses draped around her neck, Grandma opens the shoe box and is immediately skeptical. “Why call it Yeezy? Maybe it’s named after his mom, Yolanda, or his brother, Edward,” she muses, inspecting the shoes with a disapproving expression. She describes them as “clumsy and silly-looking” and points out their peculiar design, noting the absence of a tongue and dismissing the color as “crappy!”
Her critique doesn’t stop at the aesthetics; she also expresses disbelief at the exorbitant price. Upon discovering the receipt tucked inside, she gasps, “Holy moly!”—and rightly so, as these sneakers retail for an astonishing $200.
One of her most comical observations comes when she critiques the cheap, cardboard packaging, asserting that shoes at that price should come in “a beautiful box with velvet.” Absolutely, Grandma! Isn’t that what luxury is all about?
In the end, she pleads with the gift-giver to return the sneakers, lamenting the fact that people are willing to queue for such a product. Despite her frankness, she does share her appreciation for Kanye’s rap music, admitting she was unaware that he designed shoes—and quite frankly, she doesn’t believe he should.
This humorous and insightful video serves as a reminder that everyone is entitled to their opinions, and often, age brings a certain wisdom. Perhaps Grandma’s perspective can encourage the younger generation to spend their hard-earned money on something more worthwhile—maybe even something that comes in a velvet box!
Every generation faces styles and trends that baffle them. As I grow older, I find myself perplexed by designs like Yeezys, yet I still appreciate many modern fashions. I can only imagine what styles will emerge in the future, and hopefully, I’ll retain the wit and savvy of this grandmother as I critique the fashion choices of my grandchildren.
