The idea that the British public love to queue has been a go-to joke for budding comedians for years.
But there’s clearly some truth to it, as some have been queueing as long as three days just to get their hands on a new pair of trainers?
Why, you ask? Well, they happen to have been designed by none other than Kanye West.

The Yeezy Boost 350 trainers are expected to sell out right away, and those desperate for a pair have camped outside stores in London, Newcastle and elsewhere to make sure they don’t miss out.
According to the Telegraph, tickets have been given to the first 62 people in line, supposedly guaranteeing them a pair of the limited edition shoes, worth £250.
It’s just as frantic in Ireland, with queues at Brown Thomas in Dublin going around the corner.
We’re sure it will all be worth it for those lucky enough to bag a pair.
