[Nawzlew]

Adidas will be just fine.

They survived Jeremy Scott and they'll survive Ye.

I just want NB to bring these back:

All that is good and all, but who is satan according to the "people who have done a lot more research"?

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.

One can argue the nmd and ultraboosts pushed things forward for adidas than nike, not discounting Kanyes contribution.

Didn't adidas poach like 5 key nike designersarount 2012-2013, then theybjust started churning out bangers.

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.

Can he do that with Fubu, Phat Farm, Etonic, LA Gear, Troop?

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.

 

[elpablo21]

Used to watch the cartoon. Got damn I'm washed

 

[TURBO UNO]

Used to watch the cartoon. Got damn I'm washed

I watched one or maybe two, wasn’t my thing. 5 year old Turbo was watching He-Man, Thundercats and Inspector Gadget

I used to watch some obscure *** **** because my pops recorded everything on VHS/Betamax.

Shout out to BraveStarr

Whoa! Bravestarr is one I haven’t thought of in a long time. Props to your pops though, he looked out for you.

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

Yeah, I felt the same way.

 

[rioibrs]

I'm not sold on that yet. seems possible but people just want clout at this point

 

[Present]

"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."

“When you said I hadn't read this book, I actually haven't read any book”

Yeah I agree. Just seems wild they waited til now to share that.

Seems possible for sure though

 

[c flyness]

Yeezys are the only thing that people have rocked from adidas, sure .
