    • He wanted out of the adidas contracts, so this was rather easy.
      ********
    • The secret sauce to the yeezy success was always the Adidas infrastructure/desig... capabilities. NIKE did this cost/risk analysis years ago when Kanye bounced.jonny_quest_lives
    • Yeezy resellers are stoked... other than Nike there are no shoe manufacturers that can match Adidas manufacturing/QA so every post Adidas Kanye shoe releasejonny_quest_lives
    • will be of somewhat questionable quality. Probably on par with most Skate shoes as you are either sourcing manufacturing from China ,South Korea or Vietnamjonny_quest_lives

    • i am talking athletic shoes and at the end of the day every shoe is "handmade" the Adidas "yeezy" line inhabited a strange place in the Adidas Ecosystem.jonny_quest_lives
    • faux aspirational luxury to say the least. build quality was in line with their performance athletic shoes but not bespoke Italian fashion by any meansjonny_quest_lives
    • cult of personality marketing+ limited drops= insane mark ups but at the end of the day not Adidas' core market by any stretch.jonny_quest_lives
    • Adidas will be fine... https://assets.adida…jonny_quest_lives
    • scaling a luxury brand without the global infrastructure that Adidas brought will be much harder for Kanye.jonny_quest_lives
    • He will probably find someone but not if he continues to cater to these peeps: https://etcanada.com…jonny_quest_lives
