Kanye West: King of the Sunken Place, "Watch the Throne"

[Brownstone]

The rumors are stan’s gaining steam. The issue on hand is Adidas has all this inventory they can’t sell and in Europe you can’t just trash. So it’s just sitting. So the rumor is Kanye would sign just to get rid of existing inventory. It’s not a permanent comeback.

I wish people actually would read lol

Yeah, but that was not the original separation agreement which is why they NEEDED Kanye's sign off for this continued sales of the sneakers they said they wouldn't sell anymore.

I don't know how this ends, and I doubt Kanye comes back but there is no way Adidas ever replaces the revenue they lost without him imo

It doesn't have to be a permanent comeback. Just the fact that they gotta backtrack on their moral stance. Nobody did the math before they went and cut ties?

If ye wasn't such an *** hat I'd be happy for him as a black man to win that kinda battle. It's still **** him but I'm happy that artist.of his caliber are getting deals of this magnitude.

Still **** him and then bum *** shoes tho.

 

[slaughterx]

Yeah I am good on ever buying any if his shoes. Honestly would still like to get rid of all mine.

Sign him back, give give him his money. Move on. Nobody cares about ADIDAS looking noble in the face of social justice "anymore." (I doubt anyone other than shareholders actually cared."

Adidas figuring out what to do with all their Yeezy shoes after split with Ye

The company's CEO said Wednesday that selling the popular line of shoes would mean paying royalties to Ye. He says destroying them could raise "sustainability issues,” while restitching them for resale “is not very honest.”

Move on?

This ain't a situation Adidas can just move on from.

Fool was publicly proclaiming his love for hitler and calling himself a nazi while palling around with nick fuentes (nazi).

 

[jape]

yeah i don't think a hitler apologist is someone you can just have on the roster, turn a blind eye to, and move on.
adidas's only dilemma is trying not to lose money on all they yeezy's they have already produced.

Yes, they can "move on." What is going to happen if they bring him back on board? THey will still be the clear cut #2 shoe company in the world.

They want the money from selling the product. Whatever backlash they get from bringing him back on is negligible compared to the potential $ they will bring in.

These racially insensitive acts by these companies happen too often and these companies continue to click. Especially the BIG untouchable companies.

Money talks. Time "heals" (if you want to use that word) and eventually folks will not give a damn anymore.

But we will see,

Adidas and puma need to be overly cautious when it comes to all things nazi

At least until 150 years pass and they start banning the Holocaust from schooling.

probably being generous with that timeline at the current rate

If it wasn’t Kanye West, majority of people would’ve already forgotten about this by now.

Seriously doubt it

They had Mel Gibson on ice for 10+ years and that was from something that happened in the 2006 climate

Mel Gibson hasn’t been on ice tho. He just been out of the lime light. If he wasn’t directing, he was doing smaller movies whole time.

 

[AEA18]

Insane what people will give a pass to because they like the music or shoes/clothing

Dude should've been persona non grata when he was spewing all that anti-Black BS but now that he has gone full nazi, Adidas should bring him back?

Makes no damn sense

Not true

He didn't do anything for like 5 years after his tirade and when he finally started getting work again it was little rinky dink stuff that was a far cry from his days as one of the highest paid actors in the world

 

[Barbados Slim]

Mel Gibson might not have been in movies for a while but doesn't he own Icon Productions? They been making movies/shows even after Mel was "cancelled" so I think he was still getting paid.

He gained some points back with some people when he started being openly antisemitic

Hilarious job of spinning words there AEA18 .

But if that is what you got from what anyone has said, more power to you. Do your thing.

Ain't no spin

You think he should be back with Adidas because he has not made any wild statements in *checks date* 3 months

Got black folks caping for a self proclaimed nazi.

NazYe picked his side and y'all still think there is a way back for him.

 

[WASHED KING]

When do "wild statements" expire? Like outside of committing an actual crime that comes with a criminal sentence in prison or jail, when someone make's comments that are unbecoming of society's standards of beliefs when is that person able to reassimilate?

Who is the deciding entity? Is an apology required? Or is it a once you mess up there is no coming back type thing?
