adidas is back in the headlines after reports of them selling out last Yeezy sneakers hit the internet. The realm of the internet is full of unexpected surprises, and this buzz, too, made the netizens plunge into social media comment sections with funny reactions and memes.

A netizen joked (@KYLOFRIDAY/X),

"they made sure to sell them tho"

This could mean that selling out the last piece marks the end of an era—this could also mean that demand will now skyrocket, and resellers might ask you a piece of your soul to strike a deal.

Fans are recounting the glorious days with a sigh of "it was good while it lasted" and jumping back and forth from despair to humor in the blink of an eye.

Sneakerheads from all around the world are now waking up to "sold out" notifications, and netizens are, of course, having their field day on the internet. adidas themselves declared that the Kanye collab episode is now behind them, but it seems like netizens have not put behind those Yeezy sneakers yet.

Sneaker obsession is a massive pop cultural fashion phenomenon that can potentially turn grown adults into stock market analysts—but for shoes. Sneakerheads spend hours and hours tracking the resale value of a pair, and once they see something they want, well, let us just say pocket matters little.

Cleaning the favorite pair thrice a day is nothing new. Keeping them just beside clothes and checking on them repeatedly is a behavior all sneaker lovers have.

Some sneakerheads have entire collections that have never touched a single sidewalk. The sheer willpower holds the sandals together, whereas the sneaker reigns supreme.

Yeezy is a brand launched by Kanye. The designs had a towering hold over the sneaker market. With unlimited promotions, ads, and deals, the name was known by all.

Some netizens think that the sneakers going out of adidas stock is not that big of a deal as, according to this netizen, the designs were not good. (Well, netizens do have a lot of differing opinions.)

A netizen commented (@mattxctrl/X),

"can we all admit that they were ugly?"

Another social media user (@EJayArrow/X),

"Oh I know they’re happy to rid themselves of that burden skskdjsjskk congrats"

This netizen commented (@eyeamwema/X),

"Yea after you profited off it despite 'cutting ties' with him"

Another X user suspectingly posted (@pastelETH/X),

"they really thought they ate with this statement pretending like they had to sell the shoes"

This social media user jabbed (@FigManFlex/X),

"'There is not one Yeezy shoe left' which means they are now out of stock forever and the shoes will skyrocket in price.

Another netizen jokingly quipped (@pro6lema/X),

"moment of silence for all the resellers who thought they'd retire off their yeezy collection lol"
