Kanye West and his wife Bianca Censori have spent the past week walking around Italy.
They have appeared at a dinner and a shop in Florence and a Travis Scott concert in Rome, but without shoes, so barefoot.
Jason Lee, head of Hollywood Unlocked — who spent seven months working as West's head of media and partnerships until he left in October — told Page Six he's confident West and Censor are going bare-knuckle to put stage a marketing stunt.
"I think the fact that people are talking about Kanye's legs shows how much power he still has behind the cancellation culture," he said. "I think it's a smart and strategic move. I wouldn't be surprised if the next time we see shoes on his feet is a project he designed."
In his "Saturday Night Live" monologue last November, Dave Chappelle joked that he never wanted a sneaker deal, "because the minute I say something that makes those people angry, they're going to take my sneakers away. Now you see Kanye walking around LA barefoot… This guy lost a billion and a half dollars in one day.”
Last October, West lost his $1.5 billion Yeezy deal with Adidas, along with partnerships including Balenciaga and Gap, after anti-Semitic remarks.
It came after he was criticized for displaying White Lives Matter T-shirts at a fashion show in Paris, calling the Black Lives Matter movement a "fraud".
