Nope. The Yeezy made up 8% of the Addidas annual revenue. Addidas will bounce back without Ye.


It wasn’t just about the Yeezy branding it was about Kanye’s association with the brand altogether. Kanye made the Ultra Boost pop

Can you imagine how different they'd be if they landed Michael Jordan in the early 80s, who really wanted to go to Adidas?

This Kanye and Ivy Park financial blip would've been nothing from the money they'd have made all these years.



Jordan and Run DMC in the 80's :wow:

Adidas freaking sucks and is damn near under armor status, even new balance got better threads and shoes than them. Their designs are overwhelmingly general.
although I’m warning to to New Balance now, I don’t know about this one. NB lost major points for them Kawhi Leonard’s . The 327s are my favorite right now though

I bet to try and offset losses from Kanye going AWOL and Beyonce's line failing Adidas will roll out more celeb collabs at a break neck pace. Taylor Swift, Bad Bunny, anybody popular not already inked with Nike/NB. Swift Boosts in time for the summer

Now if Taylor Swift and Adidas rebranded some old Yeezy with a Taylor Swift colorway and logo. That would be some serious shots fired.
