Kanye West surprised fans at a footwear store ahead of his performance at Glastonbury Festival.
The 'Bound 2' rapper popped into adidas Originals' London store to personally present some of his fans with their own pair of his newly-released YEEZY BOOST 350 shoes.
The 38-year-old star posed for a photograph with the lucky group of fans whilst some snuck selfies with the father-of-one.
Later in the day, Kanye's wife Kim Kardashian West - with whom he has two-year-old daughter North - shared a snap of the pair in a helicopter as they travelled to Worthy Farm, Somerset.
Captioning the picture, she wrote: "Glastonbury, here we come..."
The star is set to headline tonight's (27.06.15) evening of entertainment at the festival, something which has caused controversy among some loyal Glastonbury goers.
Over 130,000 people signed a petition to request he was replaced by "someone more deserving", which he later insisted was "an insult to music fans all over the world".
Meanwhile, Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis recently teased an "incredible show".
She said: "I think he'll create an incredible show. What he's talking about at the moment is very exciting. I think he's going to take it big."

Florence Welch "didn't know who she was" the first time she played Glastonbury.
The singer's band, Florence + The Machine - who stepped in to headline in place of Foo fighters last night (26.06.15) - performed on the final night of the festival during her first appearance there, but she overdid it for the rest of the weekend and is still amazed she managed to make it on the stage.
She said: "For my first gig at Glastonbury I had to be dragged from someone else's tent by a friend - this was the year of the apocalyptic mud.
"It was the first gig I'd ever done on the Sunday and I arrived on a Thursday, so by the time it came to Sunday, I didn't even know who I was, let alone where I was, whose tent I was in and a friend had to drag me to the gig.
"My guitarist had gone completely missing and Suggs was trying to stall for time by doing an impression of Mick Jagger.
"I don't know how I made it to the Main Stage, because by rights I should've been face down in the mud somewhere."
Despite being a regular attendee at the famous festival, Florence doesn't recommend people ask her for advice as she is so "useless".
She admitted to NME magazine: "I'm not the most practical person to talk to about advice for Glastonbury - I don't know how to pace myself, I don't bring any warm clothes or wet things, I've gone to Glastonbury twice without a tent.
"In fact, I'm useless at giving help."

Florence + The Machine covered Foo Fighters as she headlined Glastonbury.
The 'Cosmic Love' band was forced to step up and headline The Pyramid Stage at the Worthy Farm festival last night (26.06.15) when the 'Learn To Fly' band pulled out at the last minute when frontman Dave Grohl broke his leg. However lead singer Florence Welch paid tribute to the 46-year-old musician when she sang 'Times Like These' and thanked him for his support.
The 28-year-old singer said: "Dave if you're listening, we love you. We all love you."
Florence started her set with 'What The Water Gave Me' and her most recent single 'Ship To Wreck', and, acknowledging her late promotion to headline act, asked the audience if they'd be her "choir".
According to the NME website, she said: "We would really have liked to have a choir but we didn't have the time. So we were wondering Glastonbury if you'd be our choir?"
Later on in her set, Florence encouraged the crowd to jump up and down during 'Shake It Up' and 'Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)', and then ran through the audience, where she took a daisy headband from a fan and serenaded a female member of the crowd.
Florence closed the show with 'You've Got The Love' and 'Dog Days Are Over', asking every audience member to kiss and hug the person next to them, before requesting every person strip off one item of clothing and swing it over their head.
Florence then removed her own shirt, spun it over her head and ran offstage.

The Who dedicated a song to Paul Weller as they headlined Barclaycard presents British Summertime in Hyde Park on Friday night (26.06.15).
During the band's incredible greatest hits set, guitarist Pete Townsend took a moment to pay tribute to Weller - who performed before the group took to the stage - and revealed the rocker had personally requested they play 'Pictures of Lily' for him in an email because it's his favourite Who song.
Townsend said: "We were the mods, you were the mods, Paul Weller brought back interest in the mods and we're honoured to be playing with him. He requested this by email. We haven't played it for a few shows, so it'll probably be crap."
Earlier, frontman Roger Daltrey mistakenly thought they were dedicating 'The Kids Are Alright' to Weller, saying: "This song is for a special friend. We don't usually do requests, but for this man, Mr. Paul Weller, anything. It was him who asked us to play it."
But Townshend interrupted his bandmate to say: "I thought we were playing something else?'
To which a grinning Daltrey, 71, replied: "I f***ed that up! I write these setlists the night before a show and always forget them. That time of my life when I forget everything is sitting on the doorstep."
The band opened their show with 'I Can't Explain' and before launching into next track 'The Seeker' Townsend told the 65,000 fans in attendance: "You are a long way away but we will f***ing reach you!"
Other highlights included 'Who Are You', 'I Can See For Miles', 'Pinball Wizard', 'Baba O'Riley' and 'My Generation', which prompted one excited fan in the crowd to light up a flare which was hastily taken off him by security.
Throughout the gig images of deceased band members drummer Keith Moon and bassist John Entwistle were shown on giant screens and before playing final song 'Won't Get Fooled Again' Townsend took a moment to remember his friends and praise their replacements, Pino Palladino on bass and Zak Starkey - who is Ringo Starr's son and former Oasis band member - on drums.
The 70-year-old musician said: "Replacing John Entwistle was a hard job, as he had such a unique style. But this guy (Pino) is probably the best bass player in the world today."
"You'll have seen pictures of Keith Moon on the big screen behind us tonight. When I see them behind me, I miss him terribly. But before Keith went, he gave this guy a drumkit, so in a way Zak studied at the feet of the w***er."
After the band finished the playing the song, Townshend touched upon The Who's 50th anniversary, telling fans: "We didn't think we'd last until the end of the week when we started. There was always a punch-up, we thought we'd split up every day. But then we lasted a year, and here we are. We wouldn't have made it without all of you. You've made it, without you it would not have happened."
The group then departed the stage to huge cheers and the signature chant of "we are the mods", prompting Townshend to say: "You're not mods, you're all too old to be mods. We are the sods."
Earlier at the festival Weller treated the crowd to a run through of some his best loved songs, including 'Broken Stones' and 'You Do Something To Me', a handful of tracks from his latest album 'Saturns Pattern' and The Jam tunes 'Start!', 'A Town Called Malice' and 'That's Entertainment', on which he was joined by Miles Kane.
The Kaiser Chiefs performed before Weller and they were proceeded by Johnny Marr, whose set included The Smiths songs 'There Is A Light That Never Goes Out' and 'How Soon Is Now?' and a cover of The Clash hit 'I Fought the Law'.
Former Supergrass frontman Gaz Coombes opened the event.
A host of celebrities were at the festival, including Lionel Richie, ex-'Top Gear' presenter Jeremy Clarkson, Stereophonics singer Kelly Jones, retired England soccer player Ian Wright, TV host Fearne Cotton, actress Leslie Ash and her husband Lee Sharpe and comedian Rich Hall.
The Who now move on to Glastonbury and will close the festival on Sunday night (28.06.15).

The Libertines performed a secret set at Glastonbury last night (26.06.15).
The London-based band took to The Pyramid Stage - which had simply read 'To Be Announced' to fill the gap left vacant when Florence + The Machine was pushed up to the headline slot to replace the injured Dave Grohl's Foo Fighters.
The gig had been kept a secret until 8.23pm, when a banner, featuring the cover of the band's 2002 debut album 'Up The Bracket' was hoisted above the video screen at the rear of the stage, and the band, led by Pete Doherty, arrived to a huge roar from the crowd, which included Metallica's Lars Ulrich and Florence Welch.
The group - completed by guitarist/singer Carl Barat, bassist John Hassall and drummer Gary Powell - began with 'Delaney' and 'Vertigo', after which Pete took a deep swig from a bottle of beer, and paid tribute to his late friend Alan Wass, who died of a heart attack in April, before playing 'Time For Heroes'.
The 36-year-old musician said: "Evening Glastonbury, hello. Mr Alan Wass if you're up there looking down, I'm down here looking up."
The set included The Libertines' hits, like 'What Katy Did' and 'Can't Stand Me Now' and the crowd went wild when Pete played the harmonica, according to the NME website.
The set ended with 'Don't Look Back Into The Sun', after which the band took their bows at the front of the stage, and left the Worthy Farm site by helicopter.

One Direction and McBusted play golf together.
The 'Night Changes' hitmakers have been supported by the supergroup on their 'On The Road Again' world tour and when they have time off, the singers have less-than-rock and roll ways of relaxing.
McBusted singer Danny Jones said: "We hang out with Niall Horan a lot. He often comes to chill with us after shows. We've written a few songs with him."
Bassist Dougie Poynter added: "We play golf with them too."
And when they are not playing golf or performing, McBusted are very "chilled out" and no longer party the way they used to.
Matt Willis said: "We're actually quite chilled out these days, we rarely get up to anything very raucous.
"We went to a casino recently but it wasn't very rock 'n' roll as we all left early to go to bed.
"It couldn't be any more different [now]/ Before, it was all about the fun that could be had off stage, now our main priority is doing the show to the best of our ability, then chilling out.
"After a show, we usually go for a couple of beers at a hotel bar then head back to the tour bus and watch 'Men Behaving Badly'."
The 'Air Guitar' group admire 1D and don't think they could have coped with the younger band's level of fame.
Singer Tom Fletcher said: "Their popularity is on a whole other level."
Danny added to Britain's OK! magazine: "When I was their age there was no way I could have dealt with being as big as they are."

Bastille ended their set with their two biggest hits, 'Of The Night' and 'Pompeii'
