Adidas will survive Kanye, no question.
Anyone who says that adidas before Kanye wasn't desirable doesn't know about superstar collectors and the wild prices some of those early 00s releases (supes, ZX, eqt) fetched.
With that said, Kanye got the shoes below to sell out:
Anything that dude wore before adi launched the Yeezy line disappeared from the shelves. Gotta give credit where credit is due.

Im not one of these people that thinks adidas is dead now but to be fair kanye is almost singlehandly responsible for ultraboosts taking off as well. Adidas was reebok status, culturally in the US, before kanye.

I'll answer it for u, 'No'. Things are easier when someone goes to a relevant brand like adidas.

I remember the toy line that inspired those shoes. Anyone old enough to remember the “My Pet Monster” doll? I think they had cartoons as well.

I remember and totally got the reference when I saw the shoes but I could see how someone not from that era couldn’t.

I'm not sold on that yet. seems possible but people just want clout at this point
"The executive told CNN that West spoke openly about reading “Mein Kampf,” Hitler’s 1925 autobiographical manifesto and expressed his “admiration” for the Nazis and Hitler for their use of propaganda."
