According to Refinery29, "[Kanye] West [stopped] at Power 92, a radio station in his hometown of Chicago, where he apologized for his "slavery is a choice" comments, explained that hug with his good friend Virgil Abloh after he closed his first men’s show for Louis Vuitton and, of course, talked about those shoes." Fans had made fun of a pair of sandals West wore to the Louis Vuitton event. West has since admitted that the sandals were in fact too small for him.
