There’s been a lot of dispute online over whether individuals need to (or will) purchase what Adidas is attempting to offer now … however this report makes it clear — it’s banking on sneakerheads continuing to cop, since if they do not … it might indicate difficulty for the shoe business.
Kanye, on the other hand, hasn’t stated much about Adidas/Yeezy particularly of late — aside from to usually grumble. He hasn’t revealed any indications of attempting to recover it as his own IP.
