log into your account straight from adidas website, from there you can change your name, not your birthday as far as I can tell. For the red apples both me and my girlfriend won but I used an account that had her name so we werent able to pick 2 pairs up, only 1.The problem is I can't remember the name I used to register and need to find out?
Also after you get confirmed on the day of release you open the voucher (idk trying to find out how this works) what is on the voucher?
It's MUCH crazier that he thanked Mark Parker and Nike... I'm not sure why you would publicly thank your competitor-seems like a dumb move.
It's definitely a head scratcher, after those "epic" rants about Parker and NIKE. It seems like that bridge was in ashes a long time ago.....just let it go.
Hurt nikes brand? at the size it is now no single person/endorsee/athelete could do anything to make a dent in nikes sales or public perceptionKanye intentionally hurt Nike's brand more than any other individual has in recent memory.
i agree. kanye def has a huge impact on "street wear". i put that in quotes because street wear when from a general term to describe casual clothes to specific styles of dressing. kanyes def got a following there with the whole layered long shirts, stacking pants, chelsea boots and such. aside from some intersectionality that comes with some sneaker lines, id hardly say that nike is in the street wear business. so theres no business to be lost or impact to be felt.
EXACTLY here we go again overstating Kanye's impact

you can say that because nike is making more money now than they were when kanye was with them. youre really over exaggerating kanye size and influence in regards to nike. youre also not realizing the fact that sneaker heads and sneaker "culture" is a bubble. nike and adidas for that matter makes FAR more money off the people that come into a shoe store on a daily basis looking for a pair of everyday shoes than dudes that camp out and line up for limited releases. Kanye only has a major effect on a sub group of a sub group when it comes to sports wear and sneakers.I didn't say he hurt the brand drastically but to say that Kanye didn't hurt the brand at all makes 0 sebse.... The dude had one of the biggest selling/streamed albums of the year and has an entire track dedicated to dissing Nike-how is that not hurting the brand?

/ftfyKanye intentionally tried to hurt Nike's brand more than any other individual has in recent memory.
i guess my point is this, Kanye leaving nike and releasing a diss track didnt effect nike in anyway that mattered to their bottom line. to even phrase it the way you did gives the illusion of more of an impact than it actually had.Once again, I didn't say Kanye drastically hurt the brand but to say that Kanye talking trash about Nike didn't hurt the brand at all makes no sense. Also, Nike's sales growth either flattened or dropped for all footwear aside from retros-they sold a lot of apparel, which helped overall sales. To say that Kanye signing with Adidas had no effect on even a very small percentage of footwear sales (including the niche sneakerhead market as you mentioned) shifting from Nike to Adidas makes no sense.

Well a lot of that track was filled with fabrications lolI didn't say he hurt the brand drastically but to say that Kanye didn't hurt the brand at all makes 0 sense....

No other individual has done anything like this to Nike.
Bruh, just read the comment for the words. NT isn't going to change your mind, nor is it the barometer for how one company is doing against another in the skreetzSo are you saying Kanye dissing Nike literally had no negative impact-even on a niche market like sneakerheads?
I find myself explaining this once a week. Thank you!
