Kanye West's been saying for so long that he's going to get prices down for his Adidas collection and he's going to make his Yeezys more widely available (they're nearly impossible to buy right now).

Now he's promising to give out his sneakers for free, as part of today's 40-tweets-long-and-counting tweetstorm:

And yes I've talked to Adidas and we gon hook y'all up with free Yeezys and Adidas. All positive vibes.

Please let this be true, and don't delete this tweet later, Kanye.

Update: Now Kanye wants to steal Balenciaga’s designer:

I'm going to steal Demna from Balenciaga

So Demna Gvasalia is going to work alongside Kanye for Adidas? Or is this planning ahead for when Kanye is creative director at Hermès? Or the Gap? Or maybe it's something to do with the White House run.

Anyway, relax, Kanye. Gvasalia literally just got there.

Update: Kanye’s next bright idea is… in-season clothing. Sounds familiar.

I just thought of the craziest idea of all ... I'm going to sell winter coats in the winter!!!
