▍原文


On Thursday, Yeezy Mafia, an unofficial social media account that tracks news of Mr. West’s sneaker brand, posted a photograph of the latest style in the singer’s Yeezy line.


It wasn’t the white shoes’ first appearance on the internet; Mr. West’s daughter North was seen on Instagram in June wearing a child-size prototype.


Still, the new shoes’ poor reception signaled a potential challenge for Mr. West. “You don’t want to have negative buzz,” said Matt Powell, a senior analyst with NPD Group, a research firm.
