Earlier this week, sneakerheads eager to cop a pair of Kanye‘s new Yeezy Boost 750s were disappointed to find the sneakers had sold out in seconds. Naturally, disgruntled fans took to Twitter to rant about their misfortune, but for one lucky user, his tweet was a ticket to a free pair.
Twitter user Joe Berg wrote that the sneakers were sold out after only 13 seconds.
SON IT WAS 13 SECONDS AFTER 4:00 PM AND IT WAS ALREADY DONE HOW SWAY @adidasoriginals pic.twitter.com/TJDGs5GJNw

But Kim Kardashian found his cry for help and decided to play Good Samaritan. Apparently Kanye took a liking to Berg’s tweets and decided to give him a free pair.
What size shoe are u? I showed Kanye your tweets & he wants u to have a pair @mosedeph can't have them & you don't https://t.co/8GzGV1rsj9

So Berg took their offer, but not without a mini freakout.
@KimKardashian @mosedeph ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!? Size 12. No stop. This can't be a joke. I gotta be dreaming right now. THANK YOU

Kim responded bearing bad news: they no longer had the sneakers in Berg’s size. Her consolation? Give the man a pair of Kanye’s own. They’re the same size anyway.
bad news is we don't have any more 12's but the good news is that's Kanye's size so he said u can have one of his. https://t.co/9bMgqSeWUX

Her reply sent Berg into an even bigger freakout.
I'm having a heart attack. HALP

I don't even know what life is right now. I don't. I'm gonna just go sit on the floor at the gym. I can't process anything right now.

This isn’t Kim’s first time gifting Yeezys, either. The day prior, Twitter user Mohamad M. Ali (he’s the @moesdeph Kim mentioned in her first response to Berg) thanked her and Kanye for sending him a pair too.
