Goes to show you all that Nike is the KING. And when they start retro-ing those Yeezys, these Adidas's will tumble in resell value. Sell your pairs while its hot fellas. We all know you would trade your new yeezys for a pair of Nike Yeezys anyday of the week. #realtalk

Only Adidas in store pairs came with this tag correct? What about ADC pairs?

Also if someone has an Adidas in store receipt but not this tag, they're fake?

Impossible for Nike to retro the Yeezy 2, unless they rebrand and call it something completely different.. Kanye owns the "Yeezy" trademark, and we all know how Kanye feels about Nike, so that bridge is pretty much closed. IDK if anyone will care for a Nike "Yeezy" rebranded retro.. face the facts it ain't Yeezy at that point.

Kanye doesn't own the design to the Yeezy 1 or 2, so yes Nike can retro it.

Nike Y1 and Nike Y2...

Same with adidas retroing Kobes shoes.

Never read Romeo & Juliet? A Rose by any other name....

Not impossible considering Nike has released sig shoes without the player's name attached (KD's shoe for example).

Could be something in the contract between Kanye and Nike as far as a time-frame for releasing a "retro" Yeezy model. Or Kanye may have added a non-retro clause to prevent this from occurring.

 

[t0lli22]

adc didnt even throw a receipt in the box

Lol I think they were in a rush with the cream UB and ox tan release and new years. My cream UBs arrived yesterday and I almost fainted when the receipt on top of the box was someone else's order of some sambas haha

When an athlete or an artist signs with an shoe company do they get a cut of the revenue of the sales of their shoes?

-why should Nike even retro them anytime soon? Kanye is ranting that Nike has nothing but Drizzy and LeBron and his Adidas shoes are better, even made a disstrack. If Nike would retro the Yeezy 2 it would seem like they really needed Kanye to sell shoes, so even if there were plans of this at any time, be sure they are scrapped now.

Maybe in 10 years we see Nike Yeezys again, who knows, but these days? Nah

unless you and him have been in the same room as kanye and the nike executives, and read the contract papers when kanye was signing them for his deal with nike,

neither you or him know who owns what, or who can release what

sometimes... its a case by case basis. nike only allows athletes to get a cut of sales if they get their own shoe. artists cant

they would do it to screw with him, they own the designs, they basically designed it since a nike designer was assigned to the project. plus it would be an instant sell out so they probobly wouldnt really care

 

[lilchico4life]

spries As for the size 9 TD's, 1.2-1.4 seems fair. Just make sure they're legit. I've seen fakes on ebay where sellers are asking 1.2-1.7. Good luck!

I never said they should be retro-ed, I was replying to the person's question/statement of "why not retro the Yeezy and/or it won't be same shoe without the name".

 

[cric9471]

trollin or nah

Kanye even complained about him not designing the shoe. How would he own the design if he wasn't the designer? Also when you buys 350s 750s etc. that's why it says design by Kanye west. Kanye wants to be acknowledged for what he designed.

Kanye did in a way desgin the shoe. He sat with a designer at Nike and chose components from various shoes which he liked.

So, to answer your question: Did Kanye West design the shoes when with Nike? Yes and no—It depends on what you consider designing.

I consider designing you fully coming up with the design without anyone's guidance.
