I think you're exactly right. Speaking truth. Alot of people don't want to hear the truth. But I believe both are in the wrong. Adidas releasing un approved colorways and ye thinking they they are copying with slides and the "runner look alikes" yea yeezy brought a huge jump with Adidas but then again yeezy wouldn't be as big without prime knit and boost technology. When you are a celebrity you can feel untouchable at times and I think kanye needs to humble himself.
@@Slickkk318 we don't know his contract. I'd assume he has/had say on the colorways. I also could be completely wrong. We are all entitled to a opinion. And I'm giving mine based on kanyes post and the what the internet says. Adidas never made a statement nor do they need to.
I'm glad you brought up the Steve Smith part of the situation. Everyone I see fully defending kanye don't realize he isn't the sole designer of the yeezy shoes. For some yeezy models there are entire teams of designers who go from idea to concept to final product. Yes, kanye puts creative input and helps choose the final product but ultimately the designers are the ones contributing much more than he his. Anyone defending him saying that adidas is ripping off "his designs" aren't looking at the full picture. Even some models like the 750 (which I see people say was all kanye's idea) have people like Jerry Lorenzo on the design team, of course the models will turn out good. Overall I don't feel bad for the adidas execs or kanye at all, just the designers who aren't even credited. They're the ones who created the yeezy brand at both Nike and adidas
Ive wore Adidas since 1986. No other shoe brand period. Saying that I wouldn't and haven't put Yeezy on my feet. The day he and Adidas part ways will be a positive for me.
I also prefer Adidas products. I have a some sort of an Ultraboost collection and other boost shoes like Y3s and Hu but I have never owned a Yeezy shoe ever. Even so, I would still prefer Kanye and Adidas's relationship gets better since it made both of them successful.
@@Conrad45 these are nit his designs they are owned by adidas and there designers helped design these shoes the only 1 he owns is the slides. And he's only lead designer meaning he gets too approve the designs at the end. But this idea that he's a master designer is 🧢🧢🧢
@@ClearSmoke100 Nah its cap that you DONT think Kanye was a huge role in each design, you're just blatantly idiotic if you don't think that. And it doesn't matter if it's "owned by Adidas", it's still a Yeezy, it's still his brand. Wake up and stop supporting multi billion dollar companies stealing people's work 🤡
I’m with you on your opinion, I feel like people need to get past the Kanye designs all the shoes thing because he is not the only one who designed the shoes. Before completely going against someone or a company look at all the facts presented from both sides and make an educated decision based on that.
Very great points in this video, its unfortunate because I love Yeezy and I love Adidas. If Ye can go fully independant that im on board, for me though, I will never give Nike money if he were to go there not that i think he will. "Yeezys for everybody" is almost on point, everyone deserves a pair.
"Yeezy's for Everyone " doesn't use his Price Points..... and his IP ideas are SO off base..... I love the guy, but it's another grab for attention.....
facts remain: signed contracts so if terms were breached he has a case otherwise sleep in bed you made and/or replace your inner circle for bad counsel + find options incl build your own
Hey Hes. This out of topic but you converted me to an Adidas boost convert. Sold my Nikes since feeling boost midsoles. I hope you make a comparison between the ZX lines, DNAs and UBs as well as those retropy models. So many boosts so little budget. Lol. Thanks!
I love the 350V2 Slate. I wear mostly black Jeans and they add some colour, yet the black stripe goes so well with my fits. I feel like his clothing line wasn't doing that well because he did not design for his target audience while the Adidas Collabs worked really well for his target audience, yet was still worn by people who were not much into fashion. Just look at the Crepe boots - they were really hard to style for basically anyone who wasn't wearing Yeezy head to toe.
@@johnmcduggle4032 Sure, that is the best case however all big brands (like Balenciaga, Balmain, Dsquared, SLP, Givenchy) still make basics you can integrate into a "normal" wardrobe. So the barrier to entry is a lot lower. Like you might buy some SLP boots, like the look and add a piece here and their to your wardrobe further down the line - but it is not like you have to spend a couple racks just to get an entire look because they piece you want to buy doesn't work with other stuff.
The way how I see it is How do you say you want to be the biggest influencer on the planet and then proceed to get mad when you start to influence designs
Thank you Hes… Finally someone is walking the grey area… you brought up good points that I wonder myself…. I don’t understand why most people are choosing sides without knowing the true context of the issue
Did Adidas pay for all the cost to design and manufacture the shoes? Because depending how the contract is written, they might have legal right to do this and a lot more if they wanted to.
I think Ye not getting a position on the board of directors at Adidas really started the ball rolling with all this chaos. Is it correct? I dont know but I do know I would prefer more Adidas Yeezy's than none.
I have both and love both they are totally different styles really runners are more chill throw on and go adifom are really cool but more like a regular shoe then runners are
Do you go up half or a full size? I’m also a 9.5 with wide feet and not sure what my Yeezy side would be Ps: I got my shoes yesterday from what not. Thanks!
As far as adidas capitalizing on kanyes success by designing readily available, mainline products goes, I think that’s to be expected... when it comes to releasing shoes that have his name directly attached to them in a colorway, on a date, or at a location he didn’t approve that’s absolutely unacceptable and reason for outrage. (coming from a fellow designer)
When you have a contract with someone that's unwilling to work for you anymore and you are in the business of making money... do you really think any company is just going to sit back and let some guy throwing a tantrum stop them from continuing to release their best selling shoe?
@@Gorrgrim That “SOME GUY” is not just “some guy” when his designs/concepts are the sole reason that the company is up millions of dollars annually. They weren’t making that extra money with their current, in house design team.
@@FaithFallRepentGraceRepeat He is just some guy and he's being treated like he is just some guy because he is just some guy. If Ye wanted full control he should have started his brand from the ground up instead of hoping on the backs of a company that had already been doing it for decades
@@Gorrgrim I 1000% agree that he is the type of person that need to not depend on any company. However, Adidas would not be as successful if it weren’t for him. That’s a fact. If he’s so good that the Adidas design team took inspiration from or flat out copied his design templates- thats proof that he’s not just some guy- HE’S THAT DUDE.
@@FaithFallRepentGraceRepeat lol he's not the only person they've taken inspiration from and it also goes both ways. You don't think Ye isn't inspired by adidas? He flat out has said some of his designs are mash ups or twists of shoes adidas has made. Not to mention how much do you think Ye actually draws up the designs of these shoes? Most of this stuff is a lot of other talented intelligent people putting this together and Ye gives a thumbs up or down. In the end who cares, consumers just want cool shoes for decent prices. No one should be complaining about having more choices xD
It’s funny how Kanye is moaning about adidas copying his sneakers when he did it with the calabasas (Reebok classic or club c) when Reebok was part of adidas 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤣🤣 I bet he’s forgot about that 🤔🤔
The calabasas is a powerphase variant, of which it’s a direct decedent of the adidas indoor line the first indoor sports shoe line specifically for the gymnasium covering multiple sports. So where did the copying come in? Or did you not know what you were talking about 🤷🏻♂️
I don't care about what Kanye says, because one thing he's going to do is being unhappy & complain. If I like a pair I'm going to buy it, because I like Adidas & boost is comfortable. I'm not buying any Yeezys that aren't Adidas.
If it's true that Yeezy accounts for the majority of Adidas online sales there is no way they stop selling Yeezy's just to spite Kanye. But I get why Kanye is mad.. He should have a bigger role at Adidas they wouldn't be where they are without him
bro, the 350 CMPCT look a loooot like the adidas boost hd from back in the day, just saying, it goes both ways with kanye but he keeps being a brat about it
I mean, Kanye picks colors. He's not a designer. Look at his Yeezy Gap collection, it literally says it was designed by Balenciaga. Demna did the work, Kanye's cashing in on it and he'll just make tiny changes to the collection for the rest of the partnership. Kanye's his own worst enemy, he's self destructive and he's going out of his way to fuck up his own legacy.
I’m not a Kanye fan but I do like Yeezys. Kanye at this point is just a hypocrite. He stated he wants to make Yeezys more attainable to his fans but won’t actually make any efforts to. I hope Adidas keeps pumping them out
So,....I thought that much like the HU collection, Yeezys were SUPPOSED to be for Everyone.... OR, "In a last ditch effort to stay Relevant, Kanye starts yet ANOTHER coup".....

Kanye wants all the credit he never gives credit where it's due to his designs. He's an amazing individual and very creative but he doesn't solely create everything.
Kanye had to leave Nike when they refused to give him royalties because he was not an athlete..people gotta stop bringing up Nike when talking about the adidas situation,he wouldn’t be a billionaire if he stayed with Nike…and the reason his clothes and shoes where price really high was because manufacturers where charging him a lot and he didn’t have the connections or capital to manufacture on a large scale thus bringing the product cost down..that’s when adidas step in (a large manufacturer)…that being said kanye it’s not innocent in all this but let’s not act like adidas didn’t breach the CONTRACT
kanye is the one designing the shoes (with creative help obviously). why would you feel bad for the adidas executives who are only professional money makers?
I wish they came out in the same materials but like team colors like celtics green n blk and magic blue n blk would b my fav....
