    Idk if you guys been to any sneaker shops or anything but adidas is quite literally stealing his designs lmaooo. I seen 700 ripoffs 500 ripoffs 350 ripoffs all jus sitting. If I didn’t double check I would’ve fr thought they were Yeezys lmaooo.

    Imagine Kanye wants 100k of a pair of shoe made but Adidas says na only 80k then they go make another 30k of some random ripoffs. Makes no sense.

    y’all jus want kanye to take all this bullshit, but since Yeezus he been fighting against the industry lmao filled wit discrimination and racism.

    He reviving dead brands making them billions and they don’t give him any sort of respect that s*** is evil as hell lmaoo

    Pretty sure part of the deal is that they can use the silhouette like with Nike, thats part of pretty much any shoe brand. Theyre able to use the silhouette but not the literal exact same shoe, then do diff designs n concepts with it.

    Its part of what a partnership is or else you need to be indie, or take a huge pay loss in percentages in the deal.

    He could also sue IF IT IS legit breaking of contract.

    What’s stopping Kanye from just making his own brand from scratch? Ain’t that the whole reason he said he bought those factories in Wyoming?

    If Drake could get OVO poppin and Tyler could get Golf poppin you’re telling me Kanye can’t make his own brand?

    Stealing designs of your flagship shoes and making knockoffs for cheaper is literally what sneaker companies do.

    You can’t do business with shoe companies and then get mad when they do shoe company things

    Because he wants to be in general stores & has a fetish with working with his favs, but he also doesnt want to deal with what comes with a aprtnership for stores for whatever reason.

    Makes no sense n if its legit an illegal issue then he should stop complaining n sue.

    It cost billions of dollars to manufacture shoes and clothes in the scale Kanye wants. It would take him multiple lifetimes to conjure enough money to make enough supply to meet demand.

    It worked in the sense that it made both sides of the partnership a ton of money but he’s never gonna have the freedom he wants. Adidas is either gonna give into his demands or he’ll repeat this whole song and dance again with New Balance or whatever and then in another 6 years he’ll be right back where he is now

    I think it’s more personal because he’s had a decade long partnership with them and Yeezy is literally their staple shoes. Yeezy saved adidas when they were falling off. So it’s extra disrespectful that they are treating their most important asset like this. What Drake and Tyler is running is no where on the scale of what Kanye was doing with Yeezy. I don’t think u know what you’re talking about

    what adidas is doing is probably legal, ye and op are delusional for thinking those billionaire execs were gonna treat him kindly or ReSpECt him for REvIvIng AdIdAs, lmao capitalism doesn't work like that

    Adidas is looking out for their bottom line first and foremost and like u said, if ye has a problem with that he has to sue (probably has no grounds and even if he does can get destroyed in court by Adidas' lawyers)

    most people, myself included, don't feel sorry for ye since he was eager to brag about and prop up white billionaires for giving him crumbs; whatever grievance he has with adidas is not our business and is not some movement regular folk need to rally behind.
