I know Adidas account owners are pissed because reps didn't not clarify that apparel was needed to get MR allocation.Completely disagree. Maybe in 10-15 years, but adidas has the infrastructure and the brand recognition across multiple signgifcant product lines. For adidas it's about reshuffling and setting better strategy. While UA still has many markets where their brand is not established. Don't get me wrong I think UA is on the right path, but if you talk to people on adidas and Nike campuses they're not too worried about them right now.
"I know this kid, name is Benjamin. Lives in Aventura (suburb of Miami) he's only 15 years old and is neighbors with DJ Khaled. We we're in line for the OVO 10's at Unkwn see the OVO thread for the story on that but one excerpt I will tell is how he tried to buy me and a couple other peoples pair so he could get them for Khaled. Bottom line is the kid needed like 10 pair and he walked out with only his personal pair. His Dad flipped out because Unkwn wouldn't let him walk up and get a pair and only let Benjamin get 1 pair. Benjamin started to literally shed tears and called Khaled on speakerphone to apologize. Khaled literally talked like he does in the videos and told him 'It's okay!..., You're a young hustla,,,, I believe in you...'"How does this story exist? Is there audio of this?just think about him cryhing on the phone w/ Khaled about OVOs, all salt washes away
Kanye helped Nike sell flyknits too. All athletic manufacturers pretty much rely on hype whether it is generated by athletes or celebs. If you look at Js, I don't know if there was anything groundbreaking about the shoe itself when they launched. Mike's name was what sold them. This is an old playbook. At least UBs are great shoes and when the undersole turned out to be trash adidas listened and made the necessary changes. I don't mind hype as long as it accompanies substance.I think a lot of people also forget that Adidas seems to be using Kanye's product to help launch and lure us to other product lines, like the Ultra Boost. Just as Nike made us settle for other widely available all red sneakers. They stated awhile ago they had the ambitious goal of selling millions of pairs and spinning the hype off of these ttowards more general release stuff.
Which seems to be working (as UBs are damn near sold out, restocked and then sold out again).
Wasn't really speaking to you...but I did read the above post and quickly gathered you don't have the slightest idea of what you are talking about. Companies not really caring how much $ they make overall???...hmmm...yeah...ok bruh.
lol whatever, adidas getting sneakers only from kanye from now on so they're butter

I won't name the store, but one owner took a loss on the apparel because people started returning all their purchases because it didn't resale well....so, he took his allocation and sold it via consignment to make up for the loss.
He said adidas just doesnt sell. UBs are offered but only in all colorways and he has to sit on anything NOT white UB. He says stans and shell toes sell but YBs are the only thing he sees real bread off of.
Nike letting Kanye go was one of the best things to happen to them.
He pitched the same bum line clothing to them and they said "we don't see the value in your collection"
That's what set him off.

Now let me stop typing before I get another text from my folks at both HQs
I gotta see/hear this
someone posted it in the UNC thread i think; was hilarious.
he could only get one pair of OVOs; went with his dad to pickup 2 pairs and they wouldn't let him cop. so he went outside and called khaled and started crying lol

Do you guys read? At all?
For the final time: IFFFFFF Nike were to have competition, it would be with UA. Not adidas. That's my ENTIRE point.
True, I hope they at least do multiple restocks. Sell the same shoes over and over again. We'll line up fam...He never had any intention of doing that despite what he said. He adores this Hype!
Are these the construction jean shorts and timbs of our generation? Sorry to offend any of y'all that might be fresh out.
Today was a good day

was not directed at you. Was just a simple statement.
You have UA stock, we get it. You're their biggest cheerleader because you have an investment.

What did EU do? But, Kanye conversely helped EU come up on Js as well. I saw the evolution in EU from people walking in on release day to buy BRED 1s at 10 AM and walking out no problem to being featured on all the fashion blogs and the lineups getting out of control. NDC EU used to be so sweet....no longer.

I will agree certain colorways Kanye wore sold those but Flyknits were Nike's bread and butter by themselves.
