When Welty said Adi will be around longer than Yeezy will, that’s Ye’s whole point. I think Ye needs to leave and partner with a smaller company, or start from scratch, which is easier said than done.
all the bs aside and after all the points made in defense for kanye or for adidas it boils down to this: where was adidas right before Ye got there in contrast to today? that's it thats all that matters is the bottom line its America and capitalism (i don't like it that it comes down to money at the end of day but my and your feelings aside the reality in big business everything comes down to money). Pretend in a world were say Nike had caved and given Kanye what he wanted, where would Adidas be today? Its undeniable that he's made a massive in impact to adidas and he just wants to be in the convos and have more of a say. How you manage him is determined by how much you value him and willing to deal with his genius and his unwavering belief in his views. The profits come at a price, it's business. Adidas just needs to figure out how they wanna handle their end of the deal.
40:49 okay then why not just drop Kanye at that point. Then sell them. If Kanye’s name is not attached and his design isn’t taken into consideration then it’s done. No one would buy them.
Kick game so unique & properrrrr ! Agreed with Welty, I'm an over packer as well. Nothing like having a different pair for each day ! There's no other trio in this world to talk about this topic but you guys for real ! Such an amazing episode !
Adidas still got the ultra boost, one of my fave shoes all time, and they still got Pharrell’s NMDs…Yeezy is a big part forsure, hope he doesn’t leave anytime soon
I can’t believe he just said Adidas picked everything for Kanye are you freaking kidding me . He had some of his design before he even signed on to the company
Shoe brands don’t let you bring in prior design out of fear of copyright issues. Kanye is great and he might be completely right, but Adidas is big enough to drop him and survive just fine. Adidas killed Kolor and Silver, let Rick Owens walk etc… I don’t think they’re the company Kanye should play chicken with.
I think we all respect Kanye as a creative, and if he’s getting short end of the stick on this, he should certainly be mad about it and try taking actions. Having said that, Going by how Kanye has acted in public in recent past, I don’t know I’ll buy the story from his mouth. I agree with complex team, the numbers do feel inflated. Right now, it’s only his side of the story.
Last years all I hear about is the dude Welty working out every day all that Baloney but I look him in this chair and bro looks the exact same as the first episode. You must be the guy doing sumo deadlifts in the gym..
Wex leaving was a massive problem for adidas. This wouldn’t have happened if he was there. Kanye is so important to adidas. The guy has made a lot of there not yeezy product by relation sell out and be great sellers.
Nobody said Ye wants to takeover Adidas. He just wants to be respected. Is it that hard to invite him to the meetings and not bite his style? The thing Ye does best is putting together a team. He's the best ever at that. In Music, Fashion it doesn't matter. The guys still underestimate him. He would put the best designer in place to design and develop the soccer section at Adidas for example. I wouldn't limit him just to sneakers.
i think Adidas not doing the yeezy store in soho was because they are capitalizing the scarcity of buying yeezys at retail example is new jordans not being in retail stores
I think his claim about online sales percent could be right. Maybe not in terms of units but in terms of monetary value it's possible. Every Yeezy is sold online, for every Yeezy that sells at $250 Adidas need to sell a few pairs of Stan smiths or nmd to match it. It may not be that much of a % of all sales but for online only it could be. Also for a Yeezy retail store, it needs to have stock. You can't stock a store with items that always sell out
nike didn't make louis vuitton and doir collaborations they just approved they won't sue is all . nike didn't even sell them . they do make all off whites though . so if what your saying about these bespoke being replicas put the louis vuitton and doir in same category answer me that guys ? ✊️ 🙏
its hard to tell. I believe when yeezy was small and in infancy stage they probably negotiated these terms. Its technically legal. If you sign out your rights to a good then they have a complete say. Most people sign deals like that with no leverage. Its just like wanting your masters after signing away music for a quick deal. Thats why its best to do it yourself but more than likely you won't succeed because the big companies will make sure you are black balled which you have to respect also.
Welty I love you but talking about cheating while making CrossFit? 🧐 I agre with you but c'mon 😂 Edit. Of course it was a calculated marketing plan about those Nike retroing. Travis doesn't know about those shoes 😂.
Welty has some hot takes but cmon man. Sumo is not “cheating” the sumo vs conventional debate is such an elitist take, let people lift how they want. Sumos are still great exercises for health reasons and take less pressure off the lower back if that’s not your goal. Considering Welty does CrossFit, it’s interesting he has that opinion given the ACTUAL cheating with what they consider “pull ups”
great show, but i have to say as someone from the UK : put some respect on adidas. Their significance in soccer dwarfs the yeezy, and will past our lifetime. Their standpoint in sports equipment in general is absolutely crazy. If you think this yeezy shoe is important, go look up RUN DMC
Have you guys ever wore custom Jordan’s (not fake ones lol real ones that’s were customized) I have so many Jordan’s and I thought about letting a friend work his customize magic but can’t but but help but feel once customized they’re fakes 😅
If what Kanye is asking for is a spot on the board hes just tripping. No one at Adidas can even give him that. He would have to convince a majority of stakeholders i.e. investment companies and individuals with large amounts of shares in Adidas to vote on it at an annual meeting. No one in finance/enough sway to pressure the board to do a vote would be reckless enough to give him that role. The whole thing is just sort of sad. Love Ye but hes sort of thrashing at the wind and directing animosity towards people who are just trying to do their jobs within a corporate structure.
Ye made adidas hot. Like even the models that adidas popped off like the ultra boost, why did that shoe get popular. It was because Ye wore them. I see both sides but I side w Ye on this.
How do you side with Ye when he’s just a brand name on a company doing all the funding . Adidas is putting up all the capital . There’s a clear reason he didn’t start a sole brand like big baller brand .
Jesus loves you all ❤️ Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit!

Kanye owns the patent for the slides and the foam runners as well. that's why adidas created copycats to rival those in the event he was to end his contract

Do you think Kanye should leave Adidas?
yes, He doesn't need them anymore, he needs Payless fr
yes. adidas and nike need to both regroup and come up with more original designs.
yes west don't need them the two highest selling out sneaker are jordan n yeezy dat part

Love this crew ! Welty, Joey calves an mr dunne well done
Btw here first
Welty where do you buy your exotic new balances !
Joey Calves 😂😂😂
Ay yo
Welty's description of the current state of Blazers is 100% accurate. And I love that he called out sumo deadlifters. 😂
Dang it Dunne!!! Stop interrupting! Can they finish a thought? 😂😂😂
He got free sneakers for basically asking “do you like replica sneakers ?“ …salute to that guy
Why does Welty always have unlabeled liquids on the podcast? 😂 We need to get him a sponsorship or something
All of them have unlabeled liquids
every car brand does the trickle down design language as well
I hope in some point, Welty sat down with Ye and talk it will be an interesting conversation from both sides.
I think Yeezy wants his own company that’s affiliated with Adidas just like how Jordan brand is a company that’s affiliated with Nike
Yeezy is his own brand that’s collaborating with adidas. Jordan is still owned by Nike, but operates independently.
It be smart
New silhouettes from Jordan/Nike never get the spotlight. I think the Granville Pro are good shoes tbh.
I gotta laugh. I drove past adidas' headquarters in Portland yesterday. Didn't even know they were there til driving by. Beautiful bldg!
40:49 okay then why not just drop Kanye at that point. Then sell them. If Kanye’s name is not attached and his design isn’t taken into consideration then it’s done. No one would buy them.
Kick game so unique & properrrrr !
Agreed with Welty, I'm an over packer as well. Nothing like having a different pair for each day !
There's no other trio in this world to talk about this topic but you guys for real !
Such an amazing episode !
If there’s an emergency episode don’t delay a week. Release both ;)
Shout Out to Bobbito Gracia aka "Cool Bob Love" the OG who inspired this show....✌🏾✌🏽👑🙏🏾😎
Love from India🇮🇳
".. .. .. .. .. what was that? A train" 🤣💀
what about the mac attack nike SB reissue 10 yrs ago I believe they called it the "challenge court"
Everyone seems to forget if Ye leaves Adidas guess what stays at Adidas.. All the shoes...
Yuuuup, until 2026 they got the name and shoes
i got the thinking different hack attack. based off the nike mac attack
Welty on fire this episode.
"alright its an hour show"
Got a genuine outward laugh from me!
Those Mac's are sick Travis or not it's a dope classic clean sneaker.
Some people on here think Jordan Brand is separate from Nike!?! 🤣 🤣 🤣 "Ye should leave Adidas like Jordan left Nike!" 🤣🤣🤣
Redman aint wutang tho
I got to think of a great question because those air forces are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Fire.
The culture needed this.
great stuff as usual

Welty should shut up!
Tell me more Yeezy stan

Adidas killed Kolor and Silver, let Rick Owens walk etc… I don’t think they’re the company Kanye should play chicken with.
What are they key points to a sneaker being a hit?
Welty spitting facts..... About time someone said it.!
I think we all respect Kanye as a creative, and if he’s getting short end of the stick on this, he should certainly be mad about it and try taking actions. Having said that, Going by how Kanye has acted in public in recent past, I don’t know I’ll buy the story from his mouth. I agree with complex team, the numbers do feel inflated. Right now, it’s only his side of the story.
01:00:37 Adidas fault is hiring Jerry Lorenzo as Basketball Creative Director instead of Kanye which might have calmed down the situation.
At this point Kanye should sign with Payless they’ll let him do whatever he wants
💀😂
People will still buy it
Gonna forgive Welty for saying Sumo Deadlifts are cheating because I know he's not talking about tall people, or tall himself...
Last years all I hear about is the dude Welty working out every day all that Baloney but I look him in this chair and bro looks the exact same as the first episode. You must be the guy doing sumo deadlifts in the gym..
Welty is wearing new balances and he talks about Adidas yeezy is funny to me 🤣🤣
Are the guys no longer doing FSR with Trinidad??
Not blazers being worn by people who dry eat pre workout 😂😂😂😂😂
That’s so accurate
Wex leaving was a massive problem for adidas. This wouldn’t have happened if he was there. Kanye is so important to adidas. The guy has made a lot of there not yeezy product by relation sell out and be great sellers.

The thing Ye does best is putting together a team. He's the best ever at that. In Music, Fashion it doesn't matter.
The guys still underestimate him. He would put the best designer in place to design and develop the soccer section at Adidas for example. I wouldn't limit him just to sneakers.
Ye has never made good performance equipment so I think its fair to say he probably wouldn't be the best at making performance cleats.
Jerry Lorenzo is signed with Adidas now isn’t he?
i think Adidas not doing the yeezy store in soho was because they are capitalizing the scarcity of buying yeezys at retail example is new jordans not being in retail stores
Pharrell is a better designer than Kanye. And Jerry Lorenzo might be as well.
I think his claim about online sales percent could be right. Maybe not in terms of units but in terms of monetary value it's possible. Every Yeezy is sold online, for every Yeezy that sells at $250 Adidas need to sell a few pairs of Stan smiths or nmd to match it.

Also for a Yeezy retail store, it needs to have stock. You can't stock a store with items that always sell out

13:40 OMFG SUMO DEADLIFT CHEATING 🤣

5 pairs of shoes and no underwear lol
Kanye just like all these other designer brands. Hes done ripped off other peoples designs too
Ye better release yahndi after all this drama
He gonna need the money
Yeah these factory are crazy when they got freelance shoe makers when Adidas clock out
What is that 1 sneaker u will never let near your feet?
Time stamps?
Why Trinidad look like that
Don’t you ever disrespect joe la puma you heard.
Fire Episode. Brendan, love you man but you've got a stop interrupting my boy Joe

Kanye picked all of his designers are you kidding me with that bro 🤨
Who pays them ?
@@JkV1286 Ye
Adidas has a culture and they picked up the candidates ye greenlight. That's it. He doesn't go to Behance and evaluates their work c'mon dude 😂
Bruh who tf are you
The best....
Dunne finally went to atlanta
Sumo dead lifts target certain muscles more than a normal deadlift & vice versa, c’mon now Welty 🙄
Bruh can Adidas drop the campus again? Tired of sambas, gazelle etc
How many sambas have you seen drop this year?
Kanye wants to be Brendan because his DONE! 🤪
Welty I love you but talking about cheating while making CrossFit? 🧐
I agre with you but c'mon 😂
Edit. Of course it was a calculated marketing plan about those Nike retroing. Travis doesn't know about those shoes 😂.
The Seinfeld collaboration feels forced, there's no way he would wear any of those kicks...lol
I need foam runners to stay alive 4L
The CEO thing crossed the line. I really don't like the man.
yes, am a over packer
Love you Welty but you are BUGGIN on that sumo DL take. If we could get worst take, that would be it.
Welty = "Like"
Calls out the bros, then talks about lifting.
Welty has some hot takes but cmon man. Sumo is not “cheating” the sumo vs conventional debate is such an elitist take, let people lift how they want. Sumos are still great exercises for health reasons and take less pressure off the lower back if that’s not your goal.

great show, but i have to say as someone from the UK : put some respect on adidas. Their significance in soccer dwarfs the yeezy, and will past our lifetime. Their standpoint in sports equipment in general is absolutely crazy. If you think this yeezy shoe is important, go look up RUN DMC
Bro the queen died, you should be worried about that not adidas
Kanya fkd it up with nikeand now doing the same with adidas
The slack always quiet
Really not a fan of either…well the old Kanye and the shell toes are exceptional!
Have you guys ever wore custom Jordan’s (not fake ones lol real ones that’s were customized) I have so many Jordan’s and I thought about letting a friend work his customize magic but can’t but but help but feel once customized they’re fakes 😅
Just Got the midnight Navy 4s and cherry 11s early for just under 400$ shoutout to my Memphis dudes!🦾
Dunne needs his own show do he can stop talking over everyone
ADIDAS NEEDED YE MORE THAN THEY HE NEEDED THEM. MATT Y DONT YOU GO TRY DO WHAT HE DID SINCE U NAKE SOUND LIKE THEY DID EVERYTHING
Aye MATT you ain’t got the answers‼️‼️

When did Trinidad leave Joe interrupting Brendan and Welty sentences is hilarious.
Ye made adidas hot. Like even the models that adidas popped off like the ultra boost, why did that shoe get popular. It was because Ye wore them. I see both sides but I side w Ye on this.
Why do you side with him?
lol what u smoking ye did not single handedly make the ultra boost hot
How do you side with Ye when he’s just a brand name on a company doing all the funding . Adidas is putting up all the capital . There’s a clear reason he didn’t start a sole brand like big baller brand .
@@doylesky come on we all
Know it started popping off after he wore that all white pair. Let’s be honest.
@@JkV1286 that’s why I say I understand both sides. He needs the infrastructure, I get it. They need one another. I just side w Ye. He’s the creator.
Welty just spitting facts and reality that Kanye need to accept. He's being impossible in this situation.
You guys wouldn’t understand until you build a global product that sells out in less than 24 hrs
Jesus loves you all ❤️ Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit!
I don't want him to leave. But he could potentially go all out and do his own thing now. He has the money to do it.
@@Wolfy857 wrong? Lol have you not heard his interview with Bloomberg look it up
put kanye on the board, if kanye is on the board then he wins and adidas wins, but idk why wont they out a black man in the board?
Because he's a temperamental child not fit for leadership
U can tell Joe is super awkward being next to so much uncultured mayo... neither of them have any swag
This is guy with the beard hating on Ye, it would be awesome for Ye to take over Adidas and the first black man running the show for Adidas.
ye must be Born again
Kim & Skete are back together and that's why he is acting more unhinged then ususal.
As for the bullying of Adidas employees? Idk i find it amusing.
Man Welty you have to get rid of that angry white guy vibe... I want to like you but you make it hard!!

Yes I seen the patent on tiktok wit a lawyer lady explaining it he own it
