Pretty much. Seems like a lot of yall are drinking the Ye kool aid and thinking his temper tantrums make him important. I'm not a hater but Ye doesn't even make ripples for companies like that. He tried to sell that bullshyt to Nike about him being on the same level as athletes b/c all his concerts sell out so he deserved the same deal as they do....they threw his ass in the bushes which resulted in another temper tantrum and delusions of him comparing himself to Steve Jobs and Walt Disney. Ye is not a designer either (anyone remember Pastelle). The whole Yeezy line with Nike was just a frankenstein of older model shoes (Air Tech Challenge 2 soles, Foamposite sock liner, and few other models) just like Matt said. True the younger generation follows what he does but thats what they suppose to do and they dont know any better. He actually said he was responsible for bringing retro Js back b/c he wore the Infrared 6s at SXSW in 2012...The only impact Kayne had on this culture is setting the stage for soft nikkas to plague rap since the late 00's
Retro Jordan's been dropping for 15 years
I believe.
50 is swagless but in 03 he was one the biggest (black) cultural phenomenons the world had seen since Mike Tyson
Kanye is all hype, the industry props him up, 50 was blackballed from the industry & became a huge star in spite of that
Them Kanye addidas is
fukking ugly man. nikka thought them shyts was finna change the game
Jay and Fif made bank off of Reebok that's all I know. Nike threw Kanye to the bushes. And the rest of them clothes he made for addidas is ugly as fukk too. Addidas is a sports wear line, fukk is all that extra shyt, big ass knitted sweaters and shyt.
If it ain't shell toes then to the bushes it goes.
Still love Kanye tho, that's that nikka, but he put too much into trying to launch clothing lines, he's a good poster boy for the fashion industry, usually the shyt he wears becomes trends 6 months down the line.
Ye's had more value in the sneaker world.Did he?
So before ye the sneakers were what?
And after him they became what?
Ye's had more value in the sneaker world.
50 Cent was just a money grab.
Kanye changed the profile of sneakers
Mind you, he's one of the first NON-athletes to get a shoe and to make it something that was radically different from what was out there with his own profile.
DUde dide shyt with Louis V which is STILL coveted to this day. Same with Nike and now Adidas.
Did 50 move more shoes? Yeah. 50s shoes were cheaper.
But this is like the album sales argument. Brittany Spears sold millions. Does that make her the better artist?
No they're not.HOW did Kanye do this? His sneakers are all based on famous designers sneakers..
Thats fact
nikka I was in line at 7am buying retro Jordan's a decade agoNot like this...and designer sneaks def wasnt out...
U believe otherwise, u must be a lil youngin.. market totally different nygga
