Kanye West got an unexpected mention Wednesday during a Russian mob trial in Brooklyn, where it was revealed that one accused gangster was obsessed with the rapper’s footwear.

Government cooperator Renat Yusufov testified he knew a photo of accused racketeer Leonid “Lenny” Gershman was taken in 2016 because Gershman sported high-top “Yeezy Boost 750 OG” sneakers, available only by raffle that year. He said they cost up to $1,500.

Gershman allegedly ran an extortion, loan-sharking, gambling and drug ring in Brighton Beach and Coney Island.
