Blac Chyna I Push Kanye Footwear ... Only Way Cheaper
Blac Chyna has no limits when it comes to hawking gear ... even if it's a total rip-off of the clothing line of her brother-in-law to be.
Kanye unveiled his Yeezy Season 4 collection this week ... and just hours later Chyna posted an ad on her Instagram for some shiny boots from Fashion Nova -- and she gets $$$ to push their stuff.
The boots are a dead ringer for Kanye's line. And here's the galling part for Kanye ... Chyna's kicks way undercut him ... $39 a pop, compared to Yeezy boots which run around $1k a pair.
Chyna deleted the post, as she sometimes does. We're guessing she might have gotten a call.
We reached out to a rep at Fashion Nova, who hardly apologized, saying, "We look to the past, present and future for fashion trends ... at Fashion Nova we have great admiration for Kanye West as he is clearly a trend setter for both fashion and music."
No shame in their game.

Jimmy Choo Screwed Me with Dirty Pool ... Says Co-Founder
Jimmy Choo was downright sole-less -- threatening factories and launching a campaign to crush its departed co-founder's new company ... according to a new lawsuit.
Tamara Mellon, helped put the iconic luxury shoe and accessory brand on the map, but quit in 2012 ... and launched her own shoe line, TMB, a year later.
In the docs, Mellon says JC set out to punish her by issuing ultimatums to all the factories it deals with for manufacturing: Work with Tamara, and Jimmy Choo takes its heel biz elsewhere.
She says the threatened factories had no choice but to dump her, forcing her to go into bankruptcy and lose millions she personally invested. Mellon is suing her old cohorts for damages in excess of $4 million.
We reached out to Jimmy Choo, so far no word back.

Okay, we don't know where North really went with her high-priced purse, but Kim and Kanye's 3-year-old was flossing big time in NYC Thursday.
For those of you still dreaming ... looks like her LV retails for just under a grand.
Side note: Even her driver's got Yeezys.

Fashion Designer James Perse My Malibu Pad Sold For Double Just Like My Tees
James Perse -- master of high fashion cotton -- just doubled up on his Malibu home after selling it at its full $12.9 million asking price, and the place isn't even on the water.
Perse bought the 6 bedroom, 6 bath Point Dume home back in 2013 for $6.69 million and it's not hard to see he put a bunch of personal touches on the place. The 7,400 sq ft home now looks like walking into one of his stores ... it's pretty awesome.
There's a pool, fire pit and a lot of outdoor space on nearly 2 acres of land ... one of the largest plots in the area. It's a 5 minute walk to the water.
Perse listed the home with real estate agent Lily Harfouche in June and it closed this week. Aileen Getty, one of the J. Paul Getty heirs, now calls it home.

Kanye West Bigger Than The Pope ... In Swag Sales
Kanye West would probably agree he's bigger than the Pope -- only now he can actually peg that belief to hard numbers ... in merchandise sales.
Sources close to Mr. West tell us he set a record at his Madison Square Garden show Monday night, where he hawked $780,000 in Yeezy merch ... beating Pope Francis' previous record by $240k.
Pope Francis sold $540,000 in Pope-laced gear a year ago at the same venue, but the Saint Pablo Tour crowd proved more fast and loose with their wallets.
Both guys had stuff with their faces all over it ... but we're guessing Francis' Rosaries don't hold a candle to Saint Pablo swag.

Kim Kardashian & North West We're Kanye's Silver Lining
North West proved she's her mother Kim Kadashian's daughter down to the matching $11k disco ball dresses they wore to Kanye's Monday show at Madison Square Garden.
It was North's first official concert and Kim made sure her kid was dressed to impress. Interesting choice on the shoes though ... no Yeezys.
It's technically still summer, so North still gets a pass on curfew.

Penny Hardaway I'm The Tiger Woods Of Swag!! ... Gives Golf Shoes $500 Makeover
Penny Hardaway just dropped $500 so he could hit the links FRESH ... in one-of-a-kind golf shoes patterned after his classic Fighter Jet Foamposites from back in the '90s.
TMZ Sports spoke with Roly Padron from Nomad Customs, who says Penny wanted a special look for the Black Enterprise Golf Challenge this Labor Day weekend ... so he decided to freak his sneaks.
Roly hand painted a pair of Nike Air Zoom 90 golf shoes -- a 10 hour job -- to give Penny the same camouflage look from his classic shoe that drives sneakerheads wild.
The blue in the shoe is also significant ... a nod to Penny's time with the Orlando Magic ... just tossed in there for a little nostalgia ... and, of course, Hardaway's signature logo is on the back.
Whole job cost about $500 bucks ... but you know what they say ... look good, play good.

Saint West Just Like My Daddy ... Right Down to the Yeezys
Saint West is showing off his birthright -- those near-impossible to come by baby Yeezys.
Kim and Kanye's tot was cruising around the Big Apple Thursday afternoon ... looking like the most adorable billboard for his pop's kicks, which sold out instantly this week.
Retail price is $130 for a pair, but the 8-month-old probably got the friends and fam discount.
Good to be the Saint.

Colin Kaepernick Explains Pig Cop Socks ... Shot At 'Rogue Cops'
Colin Kaepernick says the "pig cop" socks he wore to practice last month were only meant to represent the "rogue cops" who put communities in danger -- and not the good ones.
Photos surfaced Wednesday of Kaepernick wearing socks featuring pigs wearing police hats -- taken from a practice back in August.
Kaepernick finally addressed the situation moments ago ...
"I wore these socks, in the past, because the rogue cops that are allowed to hold positions in police departments, not only put the community in danger, but also put the cops that have the right intentions in danger by creating an environment of mistrust."
"I have two uncles and friends who are police officers and work to protect and serve ALL people. So before these socks, which were worn before I took my public stance, are used to distract from the real issues, I wanted to address this immediately."
