Kanye West is slammed for naming his shoes after Islamic angels

[Teletubby 151,594]

Kanye West has been slammed for 'making a mockery' of Islam after naming his new £180 trainers after the Islamic angels of judgement and death. The Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Israfil is already being stocked by Adidas, while the Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Asriel is expected to be released next month.

Social media users are calling for the shoes names to be immediately changed, an apology, and for Adidas to review how it names footwear. 

The row follows accusations of cultural appropriation against Kim Kardashian last year - which forced her to announce she would change the name of her skin-tight 'kimono' suits just six days after they were released.  Kimono's are a long and loose traditional Japanese robe, which are worn by women.

Israfil is the angel who blows into the trumpet to signal the Day of Judgment.



Asriel is Islam's angel of death, and is said to transport the souls of the deceased to the afterlife.

Asriel exists also in Christianity right? It’s an Abrahamic religion thing.

Anyways these shoes are tired.

Nope. As much as Apple get hate for being expensive, they have well-designed products that even other companies copy
