Still, the fact remains is that he has the money to fund his own shyt... and could put out his own shyt, but chose to stay in the same capacity as an ENDORSER... and not an OWNER.
His whole gripe with nike was that they were playing him with release dates and royalties.

Adidas is giving him royalties and free reign with the design. Nike constricts designs alot.



Oh and Adidas Originals = Nike NSW = Nike Gyakausou>>>>>>>>>>>every other sports company fashion lines.

Adidas are extremely ggoodwith their designer collaborations so I'm actually intrigued about how the new line of shoes will look.

his gripe with the fashion industry as a whole, was that he could be an endorser, he could collaborate with lines... but when it came to having his own shyt, they weren't fukking with him.

This is a win for Adidas/Reebok without question, they've been snatching up rappers left and right... but for Kanye, it's apparently counterproductive for what he's supposedly trying to accomplish.

Mate, i'm fully aware of his gripes with the fashion industry and I can talk at length about his problems in it and the timeline of it. I was sspecifically talking about the nike situation.

At the rue kanye is a confused hypocrite. He could easily start his own brand and then gain respect from the merits of it. Stella McCartney had to put work in for years before she got any respect. Kanye's problem is that he thinks his star power and because he can dress well should be enough to allow him to latch on these brands with prestige and history. He has no successful collection designing record, he cant cut and sew himself and these fashion people have been doing this there whole lives so im not surprised that they're not letting him in.

But like I said he's a confused hypocrite because he talks about other people being slaves but hes too in love with the stature of european high end fashion to start his own power circle.

wish he woulda went w/ puma instead. their platinum/black label/starke/McQueen/etc... couture line seemed like a better fit for better fit for him as the next in line to take it to a higher-broader level, but alas...

adidas is just doing what puma had been doing for more than a decade with the y-3, Jeremy scott stuff, but overall, im curious to see what a) the product looks like i.e. will they look like nikes since that's what he loves most (the roses kinda already do) and of course the price points.

Well, Adidas is buying his image. Kanye is selling his image to Adidas. Cash money.
Yes, Adidas is taking a gamble, but I think it is going to pay off. Adidas is going to market Kanye-related Adidas products worldwide.
