'for now' doesn't mean they dropped it.
Nah, their whole justification saying he stopped when not only he didn't but doubled down on it is dumb, they most likely realised there's no way they could win and that's why they backed off.

Does Kanye really need them? He can’t go to China and get a manufacturer? He can’t open up a boutique in 5 major cities and sell shoes online?
If I recall correctly, that’s originally how the relationship with Gap or Adidas dissolved because he wanted to open up Yeezy stores, but they never did. Also, both Gap and Adidas were selling items that looked very similar to the Yeezy stuff, but were slightly different and without the Yeezy name attached. He also wanted to sell the shirts for $20, but they were more expensive.

He could probably do it since he’s no longer under contract, but his name is mud right now. At the same time, prior to the past couple of weeks, his brand is more popular than it ever was. I know people said he should’ve just went independent all along, but he never would’ve gotten to this level independently.

Let’s forget Kanye for a min. Why do WE always need a white partner when we so-called “own” shyt? Beats by Dre. People buy them because of Dre’s name, but Jimmy Iovine is his partner. Even Jay-Z is having issues with D’Usse right now. They use US for our cultural impact, then get screwed over in the contracts. People laugh and say that’s what Kanye gets, but let’s not act like he’s the only one getting used.

As stated above they are changing lawyers and altering their suit

They said 'for now'

The initial lawyer they wanted to use was their black lawyer whose a grifter

but the lawyer who did the sandy hook/alex jones case has offered to take it on (he will take a cut of the payout) I remember with Alex Jones it took a while because you've got to make your suit thorough.

That’s why they said ‘for now’

They’re not going with the black lawyer anymore

He is a known grifter and not good at this area of law

When the press said they were suing lawyers who are much bigger reached out

That’s why it’s ‘for now’

They’ve gotten far better offers

That black lawyer was a clown

He doesn’t have the funds LOL
But he does “LOL”

There’s a brother right now who pretty much went on a tour selling sneakers and they sell out every stop. He also sells them direct to consumer.

You’re out your fukking mind if you think Kanye can’t do the same.

Hating ass nikka.

It might not matter if the quality of the shoes stay the same.


That price will drop though.
