A lot of these sneaker companies have been trying, but those collaborations aren't moving even close to the same units that Yeezy did. It also doesn't help matters that the resell game is non-existent at this point, which helped them move those units that they may not have otherwise.

Even DJ Khaled's most recent collaboration flop so bad that Nike just did a random restock of them to try and help move units that they couldn't the first go around.
Maybe things would change if the stuff was actually on shelves instead of some dumb ass resell site :yeshrug:

They are essentially as they’ve been sitting at some outlets for a while now and there’s still nearly a full size run on their website. Having them in stores won’t change anything if the demand just isn’t there.

I think a large conglomerate like Adidas is more beholden to their pockets than the feelings of Jews. So if Kanye really had this big of an impact on their books then this would be a colossal error.

Cause companies choose money over morality all the time so why was this time so different

True, but the Ye situation was one that they couldn't necessarily avoid especially considering how vocal even was against him.

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
Bad Bunny and Beyonce are already signed to them. They just going back down to second/ third tier status.

Personally I haven't rocked any adidas shoe or gear since the Krazy 8's . And that was only because my AAU team blessed me with a bunch of kicks and gear for years before that. 99% of the time I would send those to my cuz'ns In DR. In those times I would rather rock with Reebook (the Q's and Kamikaze were fire) Converse or and1 gear before considering putting on let alone paying for Adidas Brand stuff.

Shiiii even ellese's, NB got more props then Adidas round my way. Maybe they was on par with Avia's

Shiii even when my 3 favorite players KG,TD, and Mcgrady signed to them I was still :unimpressed:
To me they always been a Bottom of the barrel type brand. :manny: and they run small (I got big and Wide feet) and I always have to buy Adidas a Size larger than other brands cause their shoes are narrow and smaller.

not a Yeezy stan fruck him but give him props he brought them back into the popularity they had with Run-Dmc. Now they back to were they always were.
