So much Yeezy stuff went on clearance, Adidas should of just liquidated all the remaining merch before cutting ties.

Facts. Best believe the dedicated fashionistas and sneaker heads would buy them all out at under retail and sell them at over retail on resale sites.
Anything with his name on it, they would have to cut Ye a check. The chews say they can’t do business with him at all and eat those losses. Now the chews looking like that’s on them. :hubie:

Ye is the 5th most streamed artist for 2022 so that “antisemitism” hasn’t hampered his popularity.

They owe him royalties for everything sold, he isn’t obligated to anything now. He kind of won. But the Corporate America hates him now though so :manny:
Fixed. He’s the 5th most streamed artist for 2022. It’s propaganda to make the public believe folks in large not f**king with Ye.

Insignificant posting from an insignificant poster
They can sell them shyts easily…they just don’t want to take a loss.



It's not a loss if they price them accordingly/adjust the costs of retail (because $210-220 or whatever them shiits cost is inflated as is).


We all know MSRP is an arbitrary number set by manufacturers.


If we compare the cost of manufacturing/marketing, etc. and sell them for even half that cost, Adidas will still make a profit. Just won't be at the value they were set when Yeezus was at the helm.



Hmmmm... i just may have proved your point.



Noice.

Post-Meg we still posting bullshyt "rap" twitter pages as official sources of news? Where is an actual article that states this, to verify the information?

Business Insider posted it a couple of days ago.

That’s not what they’re talking about. They have a bunch of inventory with Yeezy name on it that’s been manufactured already. They can’t sell it or chews will be mad at them.

The irony of Ye being cancelled but no one is asking VW to change their name. VW was literally created by Nazis and directly promoted by Hitler. The first person to drive a VW was Hitler himself.

That's what happens when you are a producer and not an entertainer

530 million is revenue they were expecting for the merchandise after sales. They
Iikely only spent 5 million on production costs.
