I agree with him :yeshrug:

Adidas is kind of irrelevant, pre and post yeezy. I’m mostly speaking in the name of fast-fashion and street wear not sportswear. The market speaks for itself


i don’t really care how crazy or c00n’d out kanye became, the fact is he made Adidas a lot of money and “cool” again, and it’s gonna be a struggle for them to find something else hot especially when other similar brands are also cold right now.
I can’t embed the photo, but this was the genesis of everything and preceded the def con tweet and all that

Isn’t that the point?
No he stated when you search for Yeezy.com it comes up as adidas which wasn’t the case. Prior to all this adidas did not even show up in the top ten ranking for me when searching Yeezy.com. The second top result was a Reddit post. Searching for just Yeezy did result in adidas because ranking wise adidas would have more hits for that search word. Mute point now though he got his wish and apparently now they removed all mentions of Yeezy from their site.

We know Kanye is scatterbrained, but why is Adidas popping up first when you type “Yeezy?”

SEO from the word Yeezy being mentioned on adidas site, articles, releases and so on. As well as people searching for the word Yeezys then clicking adidas to purchase the shoes would rank it higher.

Can’t speak fully to how the google algorithm works but I have done some google rating as a side hustle and one of the main tasks is looking at a search term and the results and basically confirming if the result is that intended by the user.

Sambas are hot right now amongst the kids (the Wales Bonner collab is actually the last decent thing I’ve seen from them in a long while). But he’s 100% right about Jerry’s run there being very very mid.

Funniest thing about this to me is how he essentially circled-back to taking Sway’s initial advice from the start.
It’s been worse than very very mid. It’s been a complete flop.

It took years for his line to release for them to only have no impact whatsoever.

adidas did Ye dirty though.

He's an idiot. But he kept the lights on there forever. Nobody cared about that brand until he showed up. They know that. That's why they're trying to get off all those YZY leftovers. After that's done, they don’t have anything else to push that people will give a f*ck about.

This reminds me of a story somebody told about jay z. They had a lil petty beef iver a business deal like 10+ years prior. They peaced it up but afterward the dude —-can’t remember who—-was like ‘yea man I felt you was wrong for that’ and jay z was like ‘ok, and?’ :heh:

I’m paraphrasing, but the moral of the story was this is business and in the grand scheme of things what exactly does your emotion mean at this point . So, yea. wtf does ‘did Kanye dirty’ even mean. They had a business relationship, he violated the contract (in one of like the only ways one could ever. Like, just don’t evoke hitler and you’re ok :gucci:). And they capitalized. The end. All that other shyt sound childish

The brand is 100 years old. Did Kanye help them recently with their popularity, yes for sure. But they are going to be ok in the long run. Second largest sporting brand in the world and a value of 15 Billion.


Yeah, you sound crazy if you say adidas isn’t a big brand.

If somebody is publicly supporting Adolf Hitler and talking about going defcon on a group of people.....what the fukk are you supposed to do stand next to him and support Hitler too lmao

If anything they hid what the fukk this nikka was really on for a long time even though they have a nazi history themselves and it was a risk. And they did it because of who he was and what he was generating, he would've been gone in fear of shyt leaking out if he wasn't keeping lights on

Probably wouldn't even have the excuse today that he lost his mind when his mom died if they let you in on all that's been said behind closed doors
