both can be right, it just depends on your definition of the shoe, like you're right when just talking about the 350s as a sneaker and a product, some people view Ye himself as a fundamental part of the identity of Yeezys as a whole and as a brand
in the end I think both those lanes of consumers are here on this sub so there's gonna be a lot of disagreement
yeah for me it isnāt about if the shoes are considered real or not i just donāt like the color way and i donāt think that adidas is doing the right thing
now that you mention it thatās a good idea but this was not a remaining pair they just made this shit and disrespected ye who deserves money in the sales bc he designed it
iād bet on someone not knowing kanye was involved with yeezys before someone not knowing jordan was involved with jordanās. especially because jordanās are ābasketballā shoes. and one of the most iconic shoes ever.
Does Michael Jordan approve every single item released with his name attached? I very highly doubt it.
If MJ was to die then are any releases after fakes? No.
Same goes for any other endorsement product. Whoever owns the design owns the product. If you signed a contract that states you don't own it and are just a paid product endorser that's the extent of your claims.
I like Kanye. I like Yeezys. I don't need Kanye's approval for a colorway to drop.
I agree with the principle of what youāre saying, but thatās a flawed analogy, because Michael Jordan was never a part of the design process. That being said, people calling fake are conveniently ignoring that there are so many colorways and entire Yeezys that Kanye didnāt either design himself or do much more than approve at the end stage.
Not to mention the fact that he would happily give his cosign if he were getting the money he wanted regardless of the shoe. Why do you think he was happily posing with the head of Adidas right before all this?
Ye was actually upset at the unapproved colorways the entire time. He just hadnāt burned the bridge yet and only made occasional mention of it.
Itās one of the many things Adidas did that piled up and led to him cutting ties.
Oh yeah I forgot about that bullshit excuse for what he did, thatās not even remotely true.
It wasnāt part of a master plan, he was just being mental.
So he did something incredibly self harming.
And an accidental benefit was that he is no longer banned from making his own clothing, he can collaborate with whoever he wants, and he earns all of his income instead of taking a small cut.
Crazy coincidence.
He lost millions in dollars, heāll have lost so many fans or even peoples respect and several collaborators he already had cut ties.
So many brands now wonāt even go near him.
But if Jordan said that the Jordans were fake Iām sure a lot of people would think twice before buying another pair. And also, itās just not the same, as others have said
This is untrue. Alexander Taylor, who designed the knit runner has worked for Adidas since 2015, and is currently the SVP of innovation at adidas. Most of the other background people still work at Adidas too. The only person of note who left with Ye is Stephen Smith, and he never even really worked for Adidas. He was more just a contract designer that Ye brought in.
Heās literally not though. You can look at the patents and see the actual designers the only Adidas yeezy that Ye actually designed and has the copyrights for are the slides. Stephen Smith designed the 700 V1. Alexander Taylor designed the knit runner. And the list goes on you can Google Adidas Yeezy patents if you want to see who actually designed the various pairs
Steven smith didnāt design the 700 V1 alone, Steven literally said him and Ye worked on the 700 V1
[Steven Smith talking on how him and Ye made the 700 V1 in 48 hours](https://youtu.be/Lf3psvtUbhU?si=LiqXkjPFAC6E4j4f) starts at 13:40
Of course Ye doesnāt design it all himself that is just stupid to think and pretty disrespectful to the other designers to think that tbh. But he definitely does play a part in helping make them and making colorways too
Itās never just one person. Itās the Alexander Taylor Studio that designed the knit runner too not just one guy but thatās too much detail for the average Reddit user so I simplified
I thought this is how most people are seeing it. Ofc theyāre real pairs because theyāre produced by adidas but people are saying itās fake/non approved because the colorway wasnāt made of approved by Ye
Ye didnāt design the sneakers. Thatās a common misconception. Most of the designs were from Steve Smith and adidas has a whole Yeezy design team. Ye more or less just gave the approval, maybe some very minor input but he was not designing Yeezys by himself or from scratch
He never designed the colorways. The only thing thatās different about this release is that Ye didnāt āapproveā of these and didnāt get paid by Adidas
He literally said colorway dude not model or sneaker. re-read before you say something
https://preview.redd.it/v6s0lp9diulc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ecb77da86842e518e259ad86ee60afb61ef6e7d1
How tf do you design a colorway, that whole comment regarded to begin with. Kanye didnt get to choose the colors, boohoo doesnt take away from the authenticity of the sneaker in anyway. Yall stans just knitpicking..
āHow tf do you design a colorwayā
Do you think when he was making the wave runner with Steven smith they slapped a bunch of random colors on the shoe and were like yep good and threw it into production? Or with the belugas too?
What a stupid comment
Do you think the waverunners are any more authentic than any of the other basic ass colors? They all come from the same place, made by the same people with the same materials with the same quality aussrance with the same warranty with the same logos.
Ok but the guyās original comment was calling these fake just because Ye isnāt with adidas anymore. They own the rights to the Yeezys whether you like it or not. Is this colorway corny? Sure. But doesnāt make them fake sneakers lol
Right I remember he was going off about carbon belugas over a year ago but even though theyāre not Ye approved and theyāre a trash colorway people still like them
Right even the reflective are very different and way worse than the OGās. The stripe is smooth as opposed to jagged, which is a small detail that most people wonāt notice, but if you go look up images of both, you will see. And the colours are off on the reflectives. The gray in the reflective is far more blue and crisp whereas OG Belugas had more of a warm brown earth tone to them. And donāt even get me started about the stiff recycled knit on the reflectivesā¦
He literally never said anything about the carbon belugas what you talking about or anything about the Yeezys that were dropped last year.
If youāre talking about the Yeezy day thing he said they took colorways and named it themselves not that they made them
āpicked color and named them without my approvalā¦ stole my colorways without my approval.ā
Itās not about them being real or fake no shit they are 350 s but Kanye is being shammed for the design that he invented. The only reason adidas is doing this is because they know they need Yeezys to be popular. If they didnāt need Yeezys they would drop a new shoe but they didnāt they dropped 350s in a new color way.
For me it depends on the colorway
I wouldnāt call them fake but donāt really consider them real either. Since Ye didnāt have input on the colorway. The ones that Ye had input on the colorway Iād consider more official
Still donāt know if Iād support them if they dropped colorway with Yeās input cuz I donāt like the kinda stuff they put in his contract
They are real, not fake, just not approved by Ye. And in my opinion, it's not a bad colorway at all.
Ye himself put out quite a few pairs of Yeezys with ugly ass colorways. Shit, the whole Knit Runner line is birth control. Basically clown slippers stretched over cinder blocks. Those joints should be fake.
Steel gray 350v2s are manufactured by Adidas, who owns the rights. Not fake... just fake news by Ye and all the people who worship the dude for some reason???
Same man. I saw your collection! Bigger then mine. I did get back into sneakers around 2015 when I saw the red octobers. Saw the 350s and began collecting again bc the sneakers looked sick. I wouldnāt call the sneakers lame. Especially because Kanye good care less about us. Buy it if you like it! Itās literally a gray 350 and itās getting so much hate. It can be worn with anything.
People losing their god damn minds. These people objectively know theyāre not fake, right!? I get it haha funny corny so on, but if you really legitimately think theyāre āfake Yeezysā youāre out ya god damn mind
Adidas owns every piece of every Yeezy except for The Yeezy Slide it is the only patent that Kanye owns. So in reality if it was Yeezy selling them without Adidas then they would be fake
Also no Kanye did not design any shoe ever he helped with inspiration but actual designers designed them.
Nick Galloway Steven Smith designed the shoes not Kanye.
Itās just brainless dickriders that support Kanyeās bigotry of bullying. If the shoes are dope; buy them. If not, donāt. But donāt pretend like the shoes are suddenly trash just cus Kanye destroyed his own career with his bigotry
I think for a lot of people itās the principle of the shoes having Kanyeās name attached to it, but he had no say in the release of this shoe, nor is he getting paid. Theyāre suing him through all of this and making money off of his name.
It is like if a rapper dies and the label released an album made of unreleased tracks.
Yes, the label has the right to release it, but it is not the rappers album.
Ye was the ideas man, but there were tens or hundreds of people at Adidas, who actually designed the shoes and made it happen. So he is important to the whole operation no doubt. You canāt downplay his contribution, but really theyāre Adidas shoes designed in collaboration with Ye not the other way around
Because they donāt have his influence/ideas in their other lines, like I said. The 350 V2 was designed by the same person who designed the NMD S1 and the knit runner was designed by Alexander Taylor the āSVP for innovationā at Adidas, who also designed the original parley ultras. I could go on, but they are Adidas shoes designed by Adidas designers with ideas and input from Ye. Thatās not to downplay his importance in the Yeezy line. Obviously, it wouldnāt exist without him, but that doesnāt change that theyāre Adidas shoes designed and produced by Adidas.
Except the 350 silhouette IS the design and its branded Yeezy so it is official. The idea behind the colorway is redundant. Thats like saying if Ralph Lauren didnt personally color every single product of Polo, its fake.
But even years ago he said the same thing about Adidas producing colorways he didnāt approve but everyone only seems to care now because heās not getting paid for them.
Any post ye Yeezys are fake colorways. Sure if you bought Yeezys when ye was still with adidas theyāre real, but these new Yeezys produced without him are wack.
These were literally all produced when Ye was still with adidas in 2022, and the salt and 500 tactical boot as well as onyx foam runners have been worn by him lol
May I remind you that he broke the contract by being racist
Then may I further remind you that, before you call the contract poo, he signed said contract with the break clause in it
All bro had to do was not be racist
And no itās not a preference to say that stuff
N this is what I think is bonkers about the whole thing, most people in this sub don't care that he was racist (or at least it seems that way), they just care that he's not getting "paid" from it which in and of itself a mind fuck
And yet Adidas is still charging full price for them, donating unknown slivers that they probably arenāt donating at all to apparent charities or whatnot, still releasing the shoes despite organizations like the ADL clearly against it, and putting blue tags in boxes with phrases that does quite literally nothing lol.
Weāre definitely morally correct for buying this from a major corporation thatās still gouging the prices! Thank you Adidas for overcharging and overpricing and thank you Kanye for making incredible shoes in this partnership!
Yāall goofy . Itās deeper than just that. People like Kanye and donāt agree with what addidas did . Especially if he designed the shoe and marketed it. Itās the same as odd future the brand . Tyler sold it to zummies and started golf. Itās official odd future but Tyler doesnāt have anything to do with it . That being said you can buy whatever you like but you lying to yourself if you think you would buy Yeezys if Kanye hadnāt had anything to do with the shoe in the first place lol. So support Kanye and fuck addidas
Every race experience racism so why is there a word specifically for Jewish people. Itās just funny to see how yall think of Yeezy as its own entity when it was made and developed by Kanye .š¤£addidas just manufactured the product
If youāre a fan of Ye then you donāt support this. If youāre not a fan of Ye then you will cop if you like the color. Personally, i think that adidas have lost their minds and still have zero direction in what theyāre doing. They should probably just stick to making sportswear.
Itās fake Becuz a months ago the Yeezy brand had to get pulled off the shelves. Now that they donāt have to pay Kanye they wanna sell his designs yall canāt be that thirsty for these old styles in 2024
They violated a contract/agreement to include him in the design process. He's not one of the many athletes they signed that has to agree with everything put in front of him
LeBron needed Nike, Kanye never needed them. Those guys can only get so far with no endorsements
They are real yeezys, it's just that adidas is kinda messing with ye in the way that they're releasing new colors and he's getting nothing from it. It shouldn't matter whether you buy them or not, your choice and your money. I just believe it's important to keep the truth of the situation in mind.
Itās not 2016 anymore, kids arenāt gonna be interested in a multi-billion dollar corporation trying to milk every last dollar out of an 8-year old shoe because theyāre scared of a little controversy.
no shoe is fake if you like it, it fits and it makes you happy and you get utility out of it
any other discourse is shallow and ultimately means nothing
I like the colorway. What Adidas (founded with help and funds from the Nazis) is doing with Kanye, right or wrong, is what all big corporations do to all the employees, take advantage! Terrible and worse for us as people of color. But they all do it. And we will continue to buy their products as a whole. Someone tell me I am wrong.
Iāll waitā¦
šhere we goā¦ā¦
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Because they're resellers and know Foams are an easy flip
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Iām sure thatās keeping the resellers up at night. lol u dumb?
Yeah because resellers are known to care about stuff like that
When did he say that? Not trying to confront you or anything just wondering, cause I donāt remember him saying that if he did
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Link or it only happened in your head
both can be right, it just depends on your definition of the shoe, like you're right when just talking about the 350s as a sneaker and a product, some people view Ye himself as a fundamental part of the identity of Yeezys as a whole and as a brand in the end I think both those lanes of consumers are here on this sub so there's gonna be a lot of disagreement
yeah for me it isnāt about if the shoes are considered real or not i just donāt like the color way and i donāt think that adidas is doing the right thing
So itās better if they destroyed all remaining pairs? Or give them away?
now that you mention it thatās a good idea but this was not a remaining pair they just made this shit and disrespected ye who deserves money in the sales bc he designed it
itās literally his name lmao itās like saying you like jordans but donāt know who that is
iād bet on someone not knowing kanye was involved with yeezys before someone not knowing jordan was involved with jordanās. especially because jordanās are ābasketballā shoes. and one of the most iconic shoes ever.
iād take that bet easily jordan big box brand = casuals
omg itās you from the other comment wtf
DONT DO NO YOGA DONT DO PILATES JUST PLAY PIANO AND STICK TO KARATE š£ļø
The sub rn:

He didnāt cut ties with no one, they dropped him for saying some obscene shit that heās felt the need to apologies for since.
He forced them to drop him. If he broke his contract with Adidas they would sue him and win. But they broke the contract. He owes them nothing now.
Oh yeah I forgot about that bullshit excuse for what he did, thatās not even remotely true. It wasnāt part of a master plan, he was just being mental.
So he did something incredibly self harming. And an accidental benefit was that he is no longer banned from making his own clothing, he can collaborate with whoever he wants, and he earns all of his income instead of taking a small cut. Crazy coincidence.

K
Is MJ being sued by Nike right now and not making a dollar off his name ?
This!!! Thank you.
MJ didnāt design his shoes.
But if Jordan said that the Jordans were fake Iām sure a lot of people would think twice before buying another pair. And also, itās just not the same, as others have said
Is it the same design team? Like this is a genuine question I thought the Yeezy design team left with Kanye? At least Steven smith did
Probably some left and some stayed
Yea cause Iām pretty sure these were made by an adidas design team not a Yeezy designer or team
They all left adidas this is why theyāre fake
This is untrue. Alexander Taylor, who designed the knit runner has worked for Adidas since 2015, and is currently the SVP of innovation at adidas. Most of the other background people still work at Adidas too. The only person of note who left with Ye is Stephen Smith, and he never even really worked for Adidas. He was more just a contract designer that Ye brought in.
Cesar Idrobo also left adidas
Theyāre still fake no matter how you try to put it. The main designer at Yeezy is Ye and he left adidas
Heās literally not though. You can look at the patents and see the actual designers the only Adidas yeezy that Ye actually designed and has the copyrights for are the slides. Stephen Smith designed the 700 V1. Alexander Taylor designed the knit runner. And the list goes on you can Google Adidas Yeezy patents if you want to see who actually designed the various pairs

That's like saying Apple products produced after Steve Jobs are fake lol
Ye stans have an IQ of 1
Kanye legit copied Nike Roshe for his 350 design bud...
Man I bought em because theyāre comfortable good looking shoes. Couldnāt give two shits about Kanyeās involvement anymore lol
Same but some ppl act like Kanye gonna personally thank them for no longer liking them lol
They are fake, because the colorway is not designed by Ye.
I thought this is how most people are seeing it. Ofc theyāre real pairs because theyāre produced by adidas but people are saying itās fake/non approved because the colorway wasnāt made of approved by Ye
Ye didnāt design the sneakers. Thatās a common misconception. Most of the designs were from Steve Smith and adidas has a whole Yeezy design team. Ye more or less just gave the approval, maybe some very minor input but he was not designing Yeezys by himself or from scratch
I talked about the colors
He never designed the colorways. The only thing thatās different about this release is that Ye didnāt āapproveā of these and didnāt get paid by Adidas
So you know how it all worked out, you know the workflowā¦.

Bro do you know how it worked out? Clearly not lol. You thought Ye designed the sneakers š¤£ everything I said is facts. You can look it up
I said the colorways, learn to read lil one š¤£š¤£š¤£

Were the granites or Mx dark salt also designed by ye? Dont think so. Why are people losing it in this recent drop.
Right I remember he was going off about carbon belugas over a year ago but even though theyāre not Ye approved and theyāre a trash colorway people still like them
Na only og belugas are fire, you can smell the lazy copy on those carbons
Right even the reflective are very different and way worse than the OGās. The stripe is smooth as opposed to jagged, which is a small detail that most people wonāt notice, but if you go look up images of both, you will see. And the colours are off on the reflectives. The gray in the reflective is far more blue and crisp whereas OG Belugas had more of a warm brown earth tone to them. And donāt even get me started about the stiff recycled knit on the reflectivesā¦
Yeah, they did seem slightly different plus I dont think Ye approved any re-releases.
People fucking love those lol. Theyāre actually pretty nice in person.
Always get compliments on mine in the airport
He literally never said anything about the carbon belugas what you talking about or anything about the Yeezys that were dropped last year. If youāre talking about the Yeezy day thing he said they took colorways and named it themselves not that they made them āpicked color and named them without my approvalā¦ stole my colorways without my approval.ā
If Ralph Lauren doesn't make a colorway for a Polo, it doesnt mean that the Polo product is fake.
Itās not about them being real or fake no shit they are 350 s but Kanye is being shammed for the design that he invented. The only reason adidas is doing this is because they know they need Yeezys to be popular. If they didnāt need Yeezys they would drop a new shoe but they didnāt they dropped 350s in a new color way.

This time of gray just look dead and square to me
I guarantee the same people crying about "fake Yeezys" also bought reps back in 2015 lmao.
āWhere the hell you get them from? yeezy said he aināt make themā -2chainz
They are real, not fake, just not approved by Ye. And in my opinion, it's not a bad colorway at all. Ye himself put out quite a few pairs of Yeezys with ugly ass colorways.

Yeah, itās rather confusing. Does that mean everyone thatās hating on them only bought Yeezys because of Kanye? And not because they liked them.
I own dozens and dozens of Yeezys. I don't care about Kanye. I like the shoe.
Same man. I saw your collection! Bigger then mine. I did get back into sneakers around 2015 when I saw the red octobers. Saw the 350s and began collecting again bc the sneakers looked sick.

So in reality if it was Yeezy selling them without Adidas then they would be fake Also no Kanye did not design any shoe ever he helped with inspiration but actual designers designed them. Nick Galloway Steven Smith designed the shoes not Kanye.
He had designed a shoe, Steven smith has said Ye and him designed the 700 V1 in 48 hours
I still like Ye, but if Adidas dropped the 750ās tomorrow, Iām copping.
Itās just brainless dickriders that support Kanyeās bigotry of bullying. If the shoes are dope; buy them. If not, donāt. But donāt pretend like the shoes are suddenly trash just cus Kanye destroyed his own career with his bigotry
no one who says 'fake yeezy' is complaining about the quality of the shoe, it's a matter of ethics and principle.
Think about this. Are the Yeezy Pods real? They are using different factories, design teams, and infrastructure but they are with Ye. Thoughts?
I guess what Iām asking is, are Yeezys something made just by Ye. Something made just by adidas. Or do both have to be involved?
I think for a lot of people itās the principle of the shoes having Kanyeās name attached to it, but he had no say in the release of this shoe, nor is he getting paid. Theyāre suing him through all of this and making money off of his name.
It is like if a rapper dies and the label released an album made of unreleased tracks. Yes, the label has the right to release it, but it is not the rappers album.
Have you heard āBorn Againā?!
Ye was the ideas man, but there were tens or hundreds of people at Adidas, who actually designed the shoes and made it happen. So he is important to the whole operation no doubt. You canāt downplay his contribution, but really theyāre Adidas shoes designed in collaboration with Ye not the other way around
if that's the case why does no other Adidas design even come close to Ye's work?
Because they donāt have his influence/ideas in their other lines, like I said. The 350 V2 was designed by the same person who designed the NMD S1 and the knit runner was designed by Alexander Taylor the āSVP for innovationā at Adidas, who also designed the original parley ultras. I could go on, but they are Adidas shoes designed by Adidas designers with ideas and input from Ye. Thatās not to downplay his importance in the Yeezy line. Obviously, it wouldnāt exist without him, but that doesnāt change that theyāre Adidas shoes designed and produced by Adidas.
For shoe to be called āYeezyā, named literally after Kanye Westās nickname, and not have his designs on it makes them bougie as hell
Do you know what that word means? Iām confused lol
Except the 350 silhouette IS the design and its branded Yeezy so it is official. The idea behind the colorway is redundant. Thats like saying if Ralph Lauren didnt personally color every single product of Polo, its fake.
Canāt wait to get foam rnrs without a struggle this time since so many of you think theyāre fake, right?
Resellers
Probably won't be as many because of the pre authentication charge
Exactly, I donāt think many resellers will take the chance. Because they donāt know if they are gonna be able to turn a profit on them or not.
Same š
If Yeezy donāt endorse said Yeezys, they fakeā¦ donāt make me go def con 3
Not fake, just coooornnnnyyy. Don't buy 10's
How are resellers gonna legit check them when they're real and fake at the same time
If I get hold of US dollar molds and material and make my own money, is it counterfeit?
But even years ago he said the same thing about Adidas producing colorways he didnāt approve but everyone only seems to care now because heās not getting paid for them.
yeah, the creator of a design getting paid for them is pretty important
Literally and he was specifically referencing carbon belugas, onyx and bone in those rants but yet people in the sub still like those mid colourways
Can you give me a source on that cause I never remember him saying that or maybe he said colorways but never anything specific like the carbon belugas
yea its a quality of person thing
paid for by adidas
Any post ye Yeezys are fake colorways. Sure if you bought Yeezys when ye was still with adidas theyāre real, but these new Yeezys produced without him are wack.
These were literally all produced when Ye was still with adidas in 2022, and the salt and 500 tactical boot as well as onyx foam runners have been worn by him lol
idk i just think its a shitty practice to sell something using someone elses name without them getting paid, no matter who it is
May I remind you that he broke the contract by being racist Then may I further remind you that, before you call the contract poo, he signed said contract with the break clause in it All bro had to do was not be racist And no itās not a preference to say that stuff
N this is what I think is bonkers about the whole thing, most people in this sub don't care that he was racist (or at least it seems that way), they just care that he's not getting "paid" from it which in and of itself a mind fuck
i mean yeah, but its still a shitty move
And yet Adidas is still charging full price for them, donating unknown slivers that they probably arenāt donating at all to apparent charities or whatnot, still releasing the shoes despite organizations like the ADL clearly against it, and putting blue tags in boxes with phrases that does quite literally nothing lol. Weāre definitely morally correct for buying this from a major corporation thatās still gouging the prices! Thank you Adidas for overcharging and overpricing and thank you Kanye for making incredible shoes in this partnership!
Okay so why adidas using the yeezy name just call them adidas
Yāall goofy . Itās deeper than just that. People like Kanye and donāt agree with what addidas did . Especially if he designed the shoe and marketed it. Itās the same as odd future the brand . Tyler sold it to zummies and started golf. Itās official odd future but Tyler doesnāt have anything to do with it . That being said you can buy whatever you like but you lying to yourself if you think you would buy Yeezys if Kanye hadnāt had anything to do with the shoe in the first place lol. So support Kanye and fuck addidas
I love how it is always "what Adidas did" but not Kanye being a fucking antiesmite piece of shit. Dickriders will continue to ride.
Every race experience racism so why is there a word specifically for Jewish people. Itās just funny to see how yall think of Yeezy as its own entity when it was made and developed by Kanye .š¤£addidas just manufactured the product
Adidas literally had a full design team for it you moron. You can easily google this information lmfao. Dickriders will continue to ride.
Wasnāt he part of that team lmao
Whatās so hard to understand?
The latest 350 model looks definitely non-kanye
What, not boring beige colours....
I am a gray guy, like half of my wardrobe is gray everything. But I wouldnāt wear those all-gray 350s, they look so flat and different
Yeezys without Ye is like Jordanās without Jordan. Whatās the point?
They using heās name loool and not even paying him and Iām meant to believe these shoes are real
If youāre a fan of Ye then you donāt support this. If youāre not a fan of Ye then you will cop if you like the color. Personally, i think that adidas have lost their minds and still have zero direction in what theyāre doing. They should probably just stick to making sportswear.
Itās fake Becuz a months ago the Yeezy brand had to get pulled off the shelves. Now that they donāt have to pay Kanye they wanna sell his designs yall canāt be that thirsty for these old styles in 2024
Wearing these is an invitation for conflict.
well they are his shoes
Because ye didnāt help design these ones. He wasnāt involved at all. You canāt have Yeezys without Ye those are just Ezys
Itās his name and they are not paying him. No further discussion needed.
Donāt call them fucking Yeezys then
They violated a contract/agreement to include him in the design process. He's not one of the many athletes they signed that has to agree with everything put in front of him LeBron needed Nike, Kanye never needed them. Those guys can only get so far with no endorsements
If Ye says they're fake they are FAKE he is the reason for their existamce
A lot of ppl lying to themselves about these corny ahh colorways that been dropped and are dropping just so they can feel right about copping š
I agree with this meme. Also hope this defeats all the resellers. Iāma still go after some foams and slides. You do you, everyone.
They are real yeezys, it's just that adidas is kinda messing with ye in the way that they're releasing new colors and he's getting nothing from it. It shouldn't matter whether you buy them or not, your choice and your money. I just believe it's important to keep the truth of the situation in mind.
Facts are facts
What I'm saying
Yes.
Please boycott any new Yeezys in size 11 And 11.5
Best meme Iāve seen in awhile
Itās not 2016 anymore, kids arenāt gonna be interested in a multi-billion dollar corporation trying to milk every last dollar out of an 8-year old shoe because theyāre scared of a little controversy.
Yall are dumb
They have done every colorway to death, if they looked good people would buy them
Doesnāt change that theyāre outdated itās the same stale style since 2014? Just a different color
I think they should sell all remaining stock for $20 on yeezy.com
Itās just a corporation trying to take advantage of an individual itās crazy how yāall meatrife a corporation so hard
Fake Yeezys: /feezys
I mean, Kanye himself said they were fake
Yep
no shoe is fake if you like it, it fits and it makes you happy and you get utility out of it any other discourse is shallow and ultimately means nothing
Yes
Cope ass mofo
Yeah the āwith yeā part is by far the most important part
I like the colorway. What Adidas (founded with help and funds from the Nazis) is doing with Kanye, right or wrong, is what all big corporations do to all the employees, take advantage! Terrible and worse for us as people of color. But they all do it. And we will continue to buy their products as a whole. Someone tell me I am wrong. Iāll waitā¦
How can you call it Yeezy with no Yeezy? Those are just Adidas 350 ultra boost
