Where is it confirmed he signed w/ Adidas on the 11th?

He was at adidas corporate office on November 11th.

In the radio interview he did in Philly he said he signed the deal last week.

November 11th was last week.

Nike wasn't affected by the LV deal (Jaspers>AY2 IMO) and they won't be effected by a deal with Adidias.  Kanye and Nike will make up by 3Q 2014 to finish creating the most hyped shoe of all time releasing in 2015, the Air Yeezy 3.

That is speculation man. It is not confirmed. He could be talking about another brand. Rumor is he met with Adidas over the course of several days so I don't even know how you pin-pointed the 11th.

The interview could be referring to another brand.

LV and Nike are not competing for the same market.

Adidas and Nike are

This is how I pinpointed it.



I highly doubt he signed two deals in the matter of weeks.

adidas Group is his new home.

But I think Nike and LV are on two different levels of the playing field. Nike and Adidas are each others biggest competitions. And mind you, there weren't AS MANY sneaker "collectors" during the first Nike/LV deal.
I'm sure now each brand will be effected. As far as resale values go, it's hard to tell at this point.

yeah two different fields completely. Nike also wasn't happy when kanye did the lv thing. Would be historic if kanye works with both nike and adidas

 

[infamouskickz]

And if the Adidas deal really does happen, would we see products under the "Yeezi" branding since Nike technically owns the "Yeezy" name...?

oh so you used the unconfirmed evidence I provided in my updates to try and prove your point

Great work


You could very well be right in the end based on your assumptions... But nothing has been confirmed by Kanye or Adidas

ADEEZY

 

[PRIME]

You're a damn fool or a Stan if you believe Nike is getting the shorter end of the stick on this breakup.

Good for Kanye. Nike will continue to destroy Adidas on the footwear market.

This isn't Lebron James. This is Kanye West. Nike ain't losing much.


That said, I'm excited to see how his new partnership will pan out

kanye owns his own nickname, as long as it's not called "air" yeezy it should be straight. he might change the name just to differentiate it from the Nikes tho, who knows

Ok prime.
I'm both. And explain how Kanye gets the shorter end of the deal? I was thorough enough to explain both sides of the coin in my response

 

[jada2001retro]

Getting dropped by Nike is always getting the short end of the stick.

Nike absolutely destroys Adidas on all levels.

 

[ronsweedroom]

"sneaker heads" are first and foremost snobs. 99% of "sneaker head" consumers dont buy NB, Asics unless it has an "X" in between the label...It's gonna be easy for Kanye to sell Adidas, but soccer is still their core.

 

[baldgrill]

If he was with adidas, this post would be collecting dust in the Other Brands forum.

 

[mark081990]

I'm chill, this thread has a handful of questionable members.. Why the hell criticize the guy and then spend your time in the thread devoted to his sneaker?

Makes absolutely no sense. Then your arguments are pathetic. You miss the point being made and struggle at manipulating it to try and make yourselves right.

Fortunately for me I don't have to sway people's opinions. I rarely post anything that I haven't thought out. And never blatantly post lies. I also always owe up to my mistakes.

Don't give me those ridiculous posts covering a fraction of the truth to try and make your point.

POINT A) WHO SAID KANYE WAS GETTING DROPPED BY NIKE JADARETRO? WHERE DID YOU GET THAT ONE FROM? Wow!

I'd think by now most people would assume it's Kanye dropping Nike and not the other way around

 

[saysar91]

Because if he was with adidas, this post would be collecting dust in the Other Brands forum.

.......... Must not know the power of Yeezy. He sells $120 t shirts like nothing

 

[mark081990]

And on that ignorant post.. I'm out of here until another member swears they have the release date pin-pointed "November - March ... My guy never lies"

I have Prophecy's, Kayano 19/20's and Nimbus 14/15's.

Anyone who thinks a Kanye x adidas shoe won't absolutely fly off the shelves doesn't understand the guy or the fan base they are talking about.

If he wears them ONCE, they will sell out instantly.

That goes for any other item of clothing he puts on his body that is somewhat reasonably affordable.

Even his sweaters with no sleeves that are $280 are sold out

wish kanye would just go ahead and tell mark parker to ead so they can send the red Octobers to outlets like they did the Banned 1s lol

Because he isn't on Nike? Obviously.

Adidas can't even move Derrick Rose sneakers...

But let's both be real here... If Rose had a Nike sig, **** would be different.

Adidas ain't no upgrade. And Nike ain't take any L.

Nike is PRIME TIME. Center stage. The top of the damn mountain.

Kanye wants more freedom and power, cool. Adidas can give him that. Good for him. Like I said, I'm excited to see how it pans out. But don't act like Nike, the billion dollar company, with the biggest athlete in the world signed to them is taking an L. Lebron will over sell Kanye multiple times over. Nike is fine.
