SLIDESHOW: Burn Rubber's Yeezy's release

They're called "Yeezy's."

But it wasn't easy, peasy to get your hands on these Yeezy's. The store only had about 14 pairs of the limited edition shoes. 

"I had to get this shoes.I had to get them. I couldn't sleep last night. Look I'm shaking now. Oh, my God. They're in my hand," said one customer.

He was in tears after being the first to get the new shoes.

Owners Rick and Ro said people had been coming to the store since last week, waiting  and camping outside the store. 

"The shoes are hot. Everyone wanted them. We're the only exclusive shoe boutique in the state so we got them," said Rick. 

They charged customers $1,000 for the kicks. But people like Dee Keith saved up for months to buy the glow in the dark soled, shoes. 

"I just put a little bit back here and there until I was able to save all the money. I can't wait to wear them out." 

It only took 35 minutes before the store sold out of the shoes. Some customers were left disappointed and said they would try to go and buy them on Ebay.
