Kanye West is a shoe-in when it comes to inspirational stories.

The rapper heard the story of Tyler Wesley, a fan who suffered a devastating spinal cord injury 5 years ago in a roll-over car accident. A C-4 vertebrae break on his neck left him paralyzed from the shoulders down.

Tyler's defied the odds -- doctors told him he wouldn't walk again but he's literally taken steps to get back on his feet with the help of therapists and a walker.

Ye was so moved he sent Tyler custom white Yeezy Boosts 350 along with a note ... "You show the world anything is possible."

Another day, another enemy for LaVar Ball ... this time it's NFL superstar J.J. Watt who roasted Ball over the ZO2s ... saying they suck, are overpriced ... and most importantly, Watt's shoes are better.

Watt took to Twitter to announce the release of his $99 Reebok training shoe and took the time to call out Ball when he did it ... posting a not-so-subtle shot at the Big Baller Brand boss.

"400 dollars less than some shoes on the market and 100% more effective" ... "And I actually wear them."

LaVar and Lonzo's sneakers retail for $495.

Lonzo's been killin' it in the NBA Summer League ... but only since he stopped wearing the ZO2s ... and switched to Kobe's Nikes and Harden's Adidas kicks.

Shots fired.

Mr. 305 needs to loosen up a little bit, actually, probably a lot ...

Social media had all kinds of slander for Pitbull after he rocked this extra smedium baseball jersey and tiny pants at the MLB Home Run Derby in Miami Monday night, and it was hilarious.

Here's some of our favorites.

"Look I don't care If Trump didn't know, that Pitbull outfit happened on his watch."

"Who crushed the most balls at the Home Run Derby? RT for Pitbull's pants, Like for Aaron Judge"

"If I never have to see Pitbull in a baseball uniform ever again that would be great."

Kendall Jenner doesn't need a bathing suit to go swimming at the beach ... her see-through dress will do just fine.

Kendall was at a beach party with Bella Hadid Sunday on the Greek island of Mykonos, where she decided to take a dip in a transparent black dress ... champagne bottle in hand and all.

Kendall and Bella have been on a bit of a Eurotrip of sorts ... bouncing around from Paris to London for Pride, and now Greece in a matter of about a week.

As for the wardrobe malfunction here, she clearly doesn't seem to mind how tightly the wet dress clings to her body -- and, frankly, neither do we.

The real question: who's the dude flinging her around? Better call A$AP.

Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid held hands and joined up with more than 25,000 people at the Pride Parade in London ... in matching rainbow cowboy hats.

The colorful gals took part in the annual march through central London -- now in its 45th year -- Saturday to celebrate the LGBTQ community. They also showed off their abs ... as a bonus.

London's mayor said the event was their biggest ever and is the "best antidote" to recent tragedies and terrorist attacks in England.

Family representative Todd Wilson tells TMZ the lawsuit is absurd as the sisters had nothing to do with the creation of the shirts. Kendall and Kylie gave their approval for the design but rely on their brand to handle the rest. Essentially, Wilson tells us, "it's like suing an actor for being in a movie."

Kylie and Kendall Jenner have been slapped with a lawsuit for straight-up jacking Tupac Shakur pics and trying to profit off the work ... so claims the famed photographer in a new suit.

Renowned photographer Michael Miller -- whose portfolio includes Eazy-E, Angelina Jolie and Jack Nicholson -- says he never gave the sisters permission to use his pics, much less to sell them on their website. The shirts have since been taken down, but that's clearly not good enough for him.

In docs, obtained by TMZ, Michael says he never wanted to work with the Jenners, especially Kendall following her PR disasters (We're guessing he's talkin' Pepsi).

As we reported ... the Notorious B.I.G. estate threatened to sue the sisters if they didn't take down the shirts. The sisters did and apologized, but Michael's not budging. He's suing for any profits they made off the shirts.

We've reached out to Kylie and Kendall, so far no word back.

Fruit of the Loom is trying to pants the company it says got into the name game a little too late -- like, 124 years too late.

The iconic underwear company is suing En Grande, claiming its Fruit of the Tomb clothing brand is a total ripoff. In the docs, Fruit of the Loom says that doesn't fly because of the obvious similarity to its handle.

FOTL says its roots go back to 1891 when it first made its mark -- trade, not skid -- in the underwear game. Basically, the Loom crew thinks it's pretty cute Tomb tried to do the same in 2015.

Loom says it warned Tomb to shut down operations, but it ignored the demand and launched last year. Fruit of the Loom is suing for damages.

Kendall and Kylie Jenner's vintage t-shirt line pissed off rock legend band The Doors, and now the iconic group's going to sue.

Lawyers for the band fired off a cease and desist letter to the Jenner sisters over the gear ... which features a famous pic of Jim Morrison covered by a Kendall selfie. The letter, dated Thursday, says the t-shirt line tarnishes their trademark. The shirt also features the band's logo.

As we reported, the sisters removed the t-shirt line completely on Thursday -- after getting a similar threat from the estate of Notorious B.I.G. -- and apologized for offending all artists included on the tees including Ozzy Osbourne, Pink Floyd, Tupac and of course, The Doors.

Kendall and Kylie Jenner learned a valuable lesson today -- sometimes it's NOT easier to ask for forgiveness than permission ... because they just apologized for ripping off images of music icons to hawk t-shirts.

Kendall and Kylie just waived the white flag saying ... "These designs were not well thought out and we deeply apologize to anyone that has been upset and/or offended, especially to the families of the artists."

It's pretty incredible. The Jenners slapped images of Notorious B.I.G., Tupac, Ozzy Osbourne, The Doors, Pink Floyd and others ... without ever contacting them or their estates. We say incredible because they themselves have been embroiled in fights where people have tried using their images.

We broke the story ... Biggie's estate fired off a cease and desist letter to the Jenners and Biggie's mom accused them of "exploitation."

Kendall and Kylie have now scrubbed their site of the entire vintage line.

The Notorious B.I.G. estate wasted no time threatening Kendall and Kylie Jenner with a lawsuit if they don't put a stop to selling shirts with the legendary rapper's image.

The estate's lawyer, Julian K. Petty, fired off a cease and desist letter to the J sisters with a deadline of 5 PM Friday to stop pimping the shirts ... or face a lawsuit.

It appears the letter was effective -- hours after Petty sent it ... the Biggie shirt -- along with 2 others featuring Tupac's image -- was no longer available on the website.

The estate's adamant it NEVER gave the Jenners permission, and Petty tells us, "This is misappropriation at its finest. I’m curious to hear the justification. I’m even more curious to hear the proposed resolution."

As we reported ... Biggie's mom, Voletta Walace, said ripping her son's image to sell t-shirts on the girls' website is "disrespectful and exploitation at its worst."

We've reached out to the Jenners, so far no word back.

Here's Dwyane Wade taking a very expensive doggie for a walk ... a canine-shaped designer man bag and it costs a FORTUNE!!

Yes, this is fashion now ... and the designer is Thom Browne (who also makes man bags in the shape of penguins, turtles, whales, fish and boats).

Price tag on Wade's pooch -- $2,600.

Wade is wearing the bag out in Paris -- where he's been on a fashion-driven trip with his wife, Gabrielle Union.

She also has a Browne bag. Her purse runs about $4,500.

Michael Kors' friendly fashion chat was busted up by a pack of angry protesters who rushed the stage, surrounded the designer, then chanted wild animal noises at him.

Kors had just started a chat with Alina Cho at The Met Wednesday night in NYC when a group of anti-fur activists crashed the stage and yelled ... "Michael Kors is responsible for the deaths of countless innocent animals!" It only got more rowdy from there.

The designer screamed, "Get away from me!" ... and the group -- New York Animal Defenders -- was eventually escorted out.

This is the same group that crashed Kelly Rowland's book signing in April.

If you thought Russell Westbrook's swag would drop off after becoming a parent ... THINK AGAIN!! ... 'cause the OKC Thunder star is stuntin' on every daddy out there with his diaper bag game.

Russ -- whose wife gave birth to their son back in May -- is already rockin' the couture dad gear ... sporting a $1,500 Gucci diaper bag while strolling through the streets of Paris.

Brodie's insane swag has never been in question ... now he's proving you can still be fresh while carrying around everything you need to clean your kid's ass.

Drake's dad must have a thing for adventure, mystery and international intrigue, because he's dressed exactly like a character who specialized in just that.

Dennis Graham was seen leaving the Nice Guy in WeHo Saturday night with his girlfriend looking just like the famous '80s video game baddie Carmen Sandiego ... red trench coat, fedora and all. Just one step up from his usual stylish outfits.

Khloe Kardashian has lashed out at the woman who claims Khloe blatantly stole her design for a catsuit, saying the Kardashian design is a cat of a different color.

Khloe's lawyer, Marty Singer,

saying Destiney Bleu has been lying on social media when she claims she sent Khloe a catsuit that she then copied and sold as part of her line, Good American.

Singer acknowledges Khloe's stylist did request several catsuits back in December, but none resembled the one Khloe ultimately designed. The letter, which includes photos, notes the catsuits Bleu sent were full body, long sleeve and lined with crystals distributed evenly.

The one Khloe designed is a sleeveless leotard, like a corset, with crystals concentrated in the bust area.

The letter shows indignation from the get-go, calls it "a cheap publicity stunt in order to garner attention for herself and generate sales of her merchandise."

Converse's classic shoes aren't made for walkin' as much as they're made for hurtin' your feet ... according to a new lawsuit.

A California man says he bought a pair of Chuck Taylors as work shoes -- he walks around to advertise his website -- but the sneakers couldn't protect his dogs from getting seriously corny.

In the docs, he says he got a nasty corn on his left foot that was so bad and so deep ... it "interferes with the nervous system of my toes." Seriously.

He wants $10k to cover his long-term foot care, and to pay for a footwear upgrade. We'd suggest a comfy pair of orthotics, perhaps?
