Kanye West hands out free sneakers to paparazzi

Rapper Kanye West given free pairs of his highly-coveted Yeezy sneakers to the paparazzi.
The "Stronger" hitmaker has clashed with the photographers who follow his every move in the past, but he has made more of an effort to get along with the snappers in the past year.
In November last year, West, 39, revealed he would be rewarding some of his favourite cameramen with free shoes.
He has since followed through with his vow, after having boxes of his limited edition Adidas Yeezy sneakers, which retail at USD 200 a pair, handed out to freelance members of the paparazzi in Los Angeles, reported TMZ.

One snapper shared a shot of the surprise delivery on Instagram, posting an image of four shoe boxes, each labelled with the chosen photographer's names.
The gesture marks a big change in West's attitude, after he was sentenced to probation, anger management classes, and community service for a misdemeanour battery charge in 2013, when he allegedly punched snapper Daniel Ramos and wrestled him to the ground at Los Angeles International Airport.
The incident was removed from the hip-hop star's criminal record in May after completing his punishment.
