Adidas was Hip Hop way before Nike.

Hip Hop began with Adidas. Nike just pimped the culture.

YEEEZUS SAVE US FROM THESE BLOOD SUCKING NIKE CACS :blessed:

NIKE DON'T CARE ABOUT ..... BLACK PEOPLE :blessed:

:yeshrug:

:camby: you fukking fakkit Kanye stan...

quit talking that hip hop began with Adidas shyt.... when Run DMC were the first rappers to get pimped by Adidas.

Kanye aint saving shyt, but a space in your closet for pair of his shoes, that will make somebody else richer than him.

Kanye doesn't want to do the legwork in terms of production and distribution. He doesn't want to be paying top dollar for production and distribution if he can partner with a company like Adidas and use their methods and suuply chain. His main problem with Nike was the lack of royalties and respect re: release dates etc, I assume Adidas came to the party around release dates and it's been confirmed he is going to get his royalties.

Where Kanye fukked up, is by thinking that he himself was a bigger name than Nike....and that Nike needed him for anything. Nike did him a solid, but his ego won't allow him to ever realize that.


Kanye doesn't want to do the leg work, he doesn't wanna pay the money to hire top providers for the product and distribution.... but more importantly, he feels that he is above having to start at the bottom, and feels he should get to start at the top tier, just cause he's Kanye West.

Adidas/Reebok already has the rappers in the fold, but they need that marquee name to be the face.....perfect situation for a megalomaniac.

I love Y-3.. Its gonna be interesting to see if Kanye can top that line

That line was created in collaboration with an acclaimed japanese designer who has well over 4 decades of experience in fashion and design; I would be very surprised if anything Addias do with Kanye tops thats.

Nike doesn't need to do that, they're Nike...they already have 2 of the most popular black americans on the face of the planet, and the most iconic sneaker series ever... you think that Kanye is gonna be a real threat to them?

the only way for Adidas to really "compete" domestically with Nike...as far as shoe sales in the hip-hop demgraphic, is through rappers endorsing them.

Why would they do that? Like what's purpose? I'm not interested in her designs and never heard of her shoes but I just want to know why they hated on her?

"I do wanna give nike credit and respect for allowing me to co-brand the yeezys with nike, because that's why I'm here"

he's been saying this in all his interviews

he said that after he talked shyt about Nike...and the dudes running the show over there...and claiming that nobody was wearing retros til him and Don C started doing it.

if Kobe, Lebron or even cheese eyes himself asked for a shoe to get put out... they'd do it in a heartbeat....but Kanye doesn't realize that he's not on the level to really have that much leverage with them.


dude really popped shyt at somebody from Nike, then said "yes i will still be accepting your offer to donate to DONDA"... :heh: dude was on some smugly disrespectful shyt.
