The shoes were already sold out, so people DID buy them. I don't blame the company though, as there are people who spend thousands (and after a quick search, millions! Yikes!) on purses and other clothing items, so if they can make a buck on people willing to buy things like those shoes why not.

I would however love to give some serious face punches to the fools who buy these types of things.

How much would it cost to get someone to put designer duct tape on my $3,400 Yeezy's?
