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.
