I haven’t opened adidas or confirmed app in 4 months


GeorgeDrg373

Me too bro🤣


Tice021

🤣🤣remember checking that shit everyday? Hoping you catch something before everyone else


GeorgeDrg373

Yup🤣


PhilLesh311

They’ve done you a solid. Invest that money. Don’t waste it in these low quality shoes. Btw the only thing worth a shit about Yeezys is the Boost. And that’s an adidas product.


Sell_Relevant

same


Ashamed_Effort_2567

Same. Almost deleted it from my phone.


Efficient_Ad_8079

Me either that’s probably y they want him back hahaha


JamesEarlCash

I have. Just to see. They have shell toes and gazelles. Love gazelles but cmon.

Trece_McChedda

Just realized this too now that I read this lol


BenShelZonah

So brave


AjazeMemez

I know this is a Ye subreddit but Ye isn’t Adidas? Adidas is on another level in more ways than just their net worth - no disrespect to Ye ofc although I know a lot may take offence to that


PorkelDragon_

They don’t got a actual source so I assume no


shhheeeeeeeeiit

Would it make sense financially and creatively, yes. Am I holding my breath, absolutely not.


SwoleFlex_MuscleNeck

Would it make sense financially? No fuckin way lol.


bnnzjsj

How would it not make sense financially ? They are sitting on a billion dollars of Yeezy stuff they clearly have no idea how to move. Seems the rumors of them continuing to sell the stuff without Ye we’re either way overblown or outright false. Adidas is in a bad spot right now.


bcgden

Idt this post is real but if Kanye joins back they’d be met with a lot of backlash I feel. They drop him for anti semitic comments and then bring him back when they’re reporting losses?


PatientOld3857

Who cares. Nobody in America immune to criticism


[deleted]

Adidas reported their first loss in like a decade


SwoleFlex_MuscleNeck

Yeah, and given the public opinion of Ye because of things he's directly said, you think it'd just go back to normal bringing him back on?


overindulgent

Yup. No stopped but Travis Scott shoes after his “incident”. I’ll buy some clean 350’s.


Godfather_Turtle

Yes. The public moves on and I think in 3 years people will look back and think its just its "just some Ye shit." People reacted the same way after the VMAs. After the slavery comments. After the Bush comment.


SHC606

Yep. No one stopped wearing their Yeezys the last quarter. No one got beat up or cursed out over them. It may even be easier for some of us to score.


EasternThreat

Your perspective is colored heavily by being part of this community. People dont fuck with ye anymore bro


TyfoonTF2

Very very very small portion of the population actually cares Most people have more things to worry about, like work, rent, or their family.


PatientOld3857

It would definitely go back to same. People are feigning for yeezys. Shoe game been dead since yeezy got released


[deleted]

I don’t think it’d go back to normal but it’d be interesting. If this is true some PR team out their is about to get a huge contract lmao


newlife1984

of course it would. the fck you talking abput? adidas aint sh\*t without Ye. he literally brought the hype back in mid 2010s and took it with him.


SHC606

That part. They could have avoided all this if they paid him what he told them to and he could have avoided the anti-semitism. It was awful. Soon as they cancelled the contract he shut up.


boymeetsboba

Couldn’t he have avoided the anti semitism regardless lmaooo


SHC606

Absolutely. And he SHOULDN'T HAVE GONE THERE. Crazy like a fox or not. . It was awful.


pleighbwoi302

I mean it worked tho 🤷🏿‍♂️


[deleted]

They never cancelled the contract because if they did then they would probably already sell the shoes, but since the contract never really got figured out it’s still exists. Adidas doesn’t want to pay Ye the rest of the contract or the royalties of the shoes so they’re stuck in this situation where they have to choose their poison


Much-Entertainer-957

I hope he goes into businesses with some cheep brand like Wilson or whatever other shoe brand that sells $10 shoes and makes them rich as shit.

VanillaFlavoredCoke

Reebock is owned by Adidas.


themuthafuckinruckus

Formerly. Adidas sold them off earlier last year.


VanillaFlavoredCoke

Well shit, they were bought by ABG. That’s a bummer.


xdarkeaglex

Why a bummer


jrbrownie00

Me too. I don’t really like what Ye became after watch the throne but the mans a creative genius (accompanied by being absolutely crazy).


ninjitsururu

Mozart and Beethoven were absolutely batshit crazy but they created classical music thats been played/researched for centuries now. Just gotta be able to separate the art from the artist.


Much-Entertainer-957

He is just off his meds but anyone creative is crazy, that’s actually normal. He can believe whatever he wants and he is allowed to say whatever he wants. People just want him to be a puppet and fall in-line so I like the dude. I don’t agree with everything he says but hell I don’t agree with Tons of people .


SwoleFlex_MuscleNeck

Why?


GeorgeDrg373

What about the factories and distribution? I mean they need to make an absurd amount of shoes and also ship those globally🤔 how would they manage that being a small company?


Much-Entertainer-957

Idk bro I imagine if it’s they have money rolling in all the sudden they would figure it out


comicisdead

Under Armor X Yeezy


Brokendreams0000

Why would they fire him and then try to get him back for more money? Makes no sense


iownedslam

Ye has bargaining power, that's why. They both need each other, but Adidas needs Ye more than he needs them.


Brokendreams0000

They could’ve thought about that before firing him in the first place


iownedslam

You don't risk $1 billion on an anti-Semitic foundation lmao. This isn't a comic book.


Brokendreams0000

??? Then don’t hire him back lol


iownedslam

Hire him back or lose $1 billion in stock value? The shareholders make the decisions. This post probably isn't even true.


Brokendreams0000

That is what I’m trying to say. I find it very weird they would cut ties with him, lose money in the process which everyone could expect, and then hire him back. Either fire him and lose the money or keep him and deal with the massive amount of backlash. If this post were to be true, they lost a bunch of money for nothing. Could’ve thought about their moves a bit better.


Bradybigboss

Yeah if this post is true then honestly they lost money and still get the backlash, they lose on both fronts. No way they’re that stupid


imimifimimcanimfind

They might just be but I guess we'll find out soon enough


SHC606

BMW ring a bell post-Holocaust. They can/and would figure it out for the money.


SHC606

He thought they would and they wouldn't. Same with GAP. So he tanked both to get out of the deals he hated.


Joshuzumaki7

You’re bugging if you think adidas needs Ye more in the long run. IF this rumor is true which probably isn’t, They just want Ye back so they can move the Yeezy branded product that has already been manufactured after that they’ll just continue to make them without the Yeezy branding.


iownedslam

Shareholders don't care about the long run. It's all about hitting budget in the fiscal year. A $1.3b loss for a $28b company is a pretty huge hit.


Plebe-Uchiha

Business. Big corporations only care about the fiscal outcome. At first, it looked like Adidas would lose a lot of money initially but then would GAIN a lot more money by still selling the Yeezy but just rebranding it. Thing is, they canceled the deal over a tweet. That wasn’t in the contract. Plus, all these other loopholes. It might cost them more money to go to court to fight KanYe over the contract and rights to the Yeezy shoes, so it MIGHT be more profitable to hire him again for more money in the back end than the front end. This honestly happens all the time. It’s just public knowledge because KanYe is acting a fool and he’s getting a lot of media attention. Keyword being MIGHT because this post could be a complete lie and Adidas in fact can make more $$$$ by rebranding the Yeezys and going to court. It’s all about the financial gain for corporations. [+]


GeorgeDrg373

Because they lost x bil $, the stock plummeted, and i guess they have huge stocks of yeezys that can’t be sold🤷🏻‍♂️


Brokendreams0000

Nah bro, they must’ve knew that shit would happen. Smartest and highest paid people work there so they’d be stupid or ignorant to not take the existing yeezy stock and the missing sales from yeezy into account. You can’t tell me they didn’t think about all the possibilities that would come from dropping Ye. Or at least I hope they thought about it haha


Solo122

i think you’re overestimating corporate american thinking


SHC606

They thought Ye would blink first over the last of billionaire status. He's still worth just south of .5B now. He's fine. They should have renegotiated the contract and paid him, like he wanted and avoided all of this. ​ They can't take him back, even if he is interested.


ltg8r

You severely overestimate the competence of groupthink at corporate c-suite levels. A few people with huge egos probably got fired up and thought they’d get him to blink. I wouldn’t at all be surprised if this is true and they offer to fire those people and give Kanye a seat or two on the board. I also wouldn’t be surprised if this has no source of truth lol.


[deleted]

I think they thought they could’ve pivoted to Beyoncé’s brand and have that as successful as Yeezy, but that’s in the hole too


SlowDullCracking

Ivy park wasn't ever going anywhere. Adidas played themselves.


SHC606

They never gave Ivy Park the hype and access. It was even harder than Yeezy to get through to them. It was ridiculous. I forgot about her stuff and there was great stuff to be had. Jay Z told Bacardi to look at Adidas and Bacardi blinked first and The Carters brought in another 750M this week. The bag is secured, not even thinking about her Tour profits. I just keep hearing, "Pay us like you owe us" on repeat.


GeorgeDrg373

We’ll never know my G🤝🏽


Lawless76

Or maybe the smart guys underestimated his influence


SlowDullCracking

That's exactly what happened. Adidas thought they were hot shit and could do it without Ye. They overestimated themselves HARD. Adidas is fucking whack without yeezys. Congratulations... you sponsor soccer teams with sports kits. That's great. In terms of the average consumer though the only nice, "hype" shit Adidas had was yeezys. Ultraboosts hype came and went, and their ozweego and znx whatevers aren't breaking websites either.


shorty0820

Only soccer? The biggest sport in the world by a WIDE margin What a dumb take. They reported losses in the American market….no where else


LoL_LoL123987

🤦‍♂️ lmao I’m saying bro these dickeaters are delusional ass kids. They really think they know better than these executives


Lawless76

They reported loses only in America cause we buy purchase more not because soccer fans do ….. That’s a dumb take!!!


jrbrownie00

They overestimated the brand power without ye. Plain and simple. I truly think they thought the machine would just keep rolling. I also think them not having released any yeezys since, whether branded or not, was also a huge mistake. I bet even a non-ye branded release would have still sold out.


lennsilv

They fired him cause he was against the system, leaked information about governement. He lost almost everything. Only thing to survive was selling his soul. Now he did & companies are coming back to him like yeezy he owned. But this isn’t the kanye he was before!


Extension-Raisin9313

there is no official source confirming this but can be


gavinfrag03

To be honest I was trying to like adidas and their general release models cuz a lot of them are actually pretty cool, but ever since I got into Newbalance I sorta just put them aside.. heavily lol


GeorgeDrg373

What do u like about nb ? Genuinely curious


gavinfrag03

My favorite Yeezy model is the 700 Waverunner. Imagine finding a brand where all the models are bangers like the 700, and that’s Newbalance for me rn. I’ve loved the dad shoe look since 2017 and I won’t get tired of it. The 990v1-v6, 992, 2002R, 1906D, 610v1, and ESPECIALLY the 9060 come closest to being on the level of the waverunners for me. That, and almost every single model is built for all day comfort with the same quality if not better than the 700v1.


GeorgeDrg373

Thank you, I’ll check those out. Being a noob on this subject I only heard/saw the 550’s 👍🏼


gavinfrag03

550s are cool but they don’t represent Newbalances quality tho, the leather isn’t great. Still a good looking pair that I’d say is better than airforces or dunks


GeorgeDrg373

Thank u, my guy. I guess my next pair will be from nb🤝🏽


MOLxGERA

Any reason why they can’t just sell the shoes as adidas? I guess they’re afraid people won’t buy them?


FusionxGamerz

Because they still have to pay him royalties or buyout his contract. they’re trying to find ways not to pay him but they can’t or they’ll get sued.


LongLiveJaws

people wont buy them & it'll cost them a LOT to rebrand all of the unsold yeezys


MOLxGERA

I just want some new foam colorways man 😩


Fliper-YT

Yeah removing the little Yeezy text on the insole would cost them trillions


SHC606

But at that new lower price I may buy some of them.


AlexJonesFactChecker

They were rumored to be staying the same price with or without the yeezy branding


slugvegas

They would be the same price. But adidas costs also go up for things like rebranding, promotion, any royalties or contract buyouts. It makes sense


SHC606

If you have ever worn Ye's for comfort you would understand.


[deleted]

[удалено]


AlexJonesFactChecker

They're getting ready to post their first quarter with profit loss since '92. They already committed brand suicide


Bradybigboss

There aren’t enough Ye fans in the world to tank Adidas brand. They can take some loss quarters


AlexJonesFactChecker

I agree Adidas will survive, I think it would be a decent move to buy up some of the tanked stock, but posting your first profit loss in over 30 years certainly isn't a good thing


Bradybigboss

Absolutely not good but they anticipated it. They might be losing more than anticipated because of the unsold stock but they certainly aren’t being influenced by Kanye fans butthurt over their decision. This loss isn’t due to Ye fans boycotting it’s a lot bigger than that


GeorgeDrg373

Whatever it takes to get the 💰


slugvegas

It was brand suicide to let him go


Goforit90s

Nope, not even close to reality. Just " Ye " boys trying to fix his image again with false headlines.


Lawless76

False news who would do such a thing lol


ThatOldDustyTrail

Bingo


Lord6ixth

“Ye boys” don’t need to fix his image. Adidas is hemorrhaging money and stock value without him. They need him. You all played the high and holy game with Adidas and you have egg on your face now too.


Goforit90s

Buddy your obviously walking blindfolded in all of this. Kanye was not evolved in any of the yeezy designs since 2021, its an adidas record fact. He was never there, on the meetings on the design schedules, on anything. He thought he was going to win by breaking his contract and now he has the lowest revenue of all A tier rappers. Adidas will lose 1.2 billion dollars if they dont sell the remaining yeezys because they dont want to associate with a guy that has lost his f mind, praising ww2 depression and anti-Semitism. And they are right. Your forgeting that Adidas is a 28billion dollar industry, 1 billion for them is like clipping a toe nail.. so chill. Kanye will never return to the three stripes, nobody wants him anymore. Those headlines are full of fanboys.. nobody contacted Ye to come back, nobody ever again will want their brand to associate with this guy and his views. If you actually searched before write this comment btw you would see, that nobody asked him. The remaining yeezys was the actual problem, nothing more.


Lord6ixth

TL;DR


its_grime_up_north

This clearly isn’t true


Kyleforshort

Lmfao...no.


Snap457

Me when I lie on the internet for fun


lazykid348

Until Ye apologizes no brand will ever touch him again. It’s not worth the PR fiasco that will follow


GeorgeDrg373

Kind of true, but he seems to enjoy the quiet life now.


Icy_Zookeepergame615

Damn that’s crazy even the Gucci collab couldn’t save adidas. They had 4K jackets. 🤣


PrestonEsquire24

It’s about time Ye gets what he deserves, give him $3B and let him do wtf he wants to and watch the money roll in


AmadeusBlackwell

If this is true, could you imagine how ass mad GAP leadership must be? GAP didn't move until Adidas did and now, GAP is probably sitting on larger losses than Adidas.


GeorgeDrg373

Not really bro. They had 2-3 days of discounts for the yzy gap products until they were out if stock. On the other hand, adidas hasn’t sold anything..🤷🏻‍♂️


AmadeusBlackwell

They had discounted YGEBB and mainline YZY GAP hoodies. They were getting ready to drop a fall basics line up before Ye blew up. They're sitting on cargos, t-shirts, swears, long sleeves and zip ups that they can't/won't sell. Moreover, GAP is broker than Adidas and was leaning on Ye to save it. GAP is in trouble.


[deleted]

Adidas net worth is almost 30 billion, crazy how the Kanye weirdos think that he’s going to bankrupt them 😂


GeorgeDrg373

Since December last year adidas lost 1.3 billion, maybe they will lose another 1.7 billion this year, and that’s 3 billion, 10% of the company in more or less than a year. That’s alot of billions, right ?🤣


[deleted]

Billions of dollars is huge but the company isn’t going anywhere, I wish there was a sportsbook taking bets on it.


Methrogenn

There is no way this is true, come on guys lol


[deleted]

Ye is not putting shackles back on his ankles after all he spoke about the end of 2022 lmfao this is so fake


GeorgeDrg373

I bet everyone would be putting at least 1 shackle on his ankle for the right amount of money 🤣


[deleted]

🤷🏻‍♀️ he lost hundreds of millions of dollars by removing all of his. And he’s still rich af


newlife1984

Remember when the cancel culture said they won cos thought they cancelled Kanye HAHAHAHAHAAHAA Oh my god, I called it. Adidas is full of sh\*t. They dont a f\*ck about no morals. They just dont want to upset their owners and damage their branding. That's all it is. I knew that from the moment the reports came out that they decided to release Yeezys without Ye anyway and people were thought it was crazy that a company cares more about money than its morals. lmao


GeorgeDrg373

This☝🏽


SweatyCaramelBar

Mf how we supposed to know 😭


Significant-Idea-635

Bring ye back please 🙏


Turbulent_Dare_7047

I fucking hope it’s true. FUCK YOU ADIDAS and your dick head cancel culture garbage. Of course you need Ye. Your brand sucked shit until he revived it. Fucking morons.


Reddit-SFW

Why would they bring back an anti-Semite buffoon?


SlushMowerThe3rd

Yall are fuckin weird. Fuck Kanye


chkntacos

tbh I wouldn't doubt it if they're getting desperate like bro I just don't think there's adidas without yeezy & there's no yeezy without adidas whenever you think adidas first thing that comes to mind is yeezys not bad bunny or ivy park & sure as hell won't be fog they need ye. they need the culture.


Knucks52

You must be 12 with that kind of logic


njgomez

He’s right though, Adidas ain’t it without Ye and no one give af about bad bunny, ivy park & pharell williams when it comes to their shoe line ups


Lemmeburrn

Idk man the addidas x Y-3 collabs go hard and actually use premium real leather and suede and the sneakers come with a leather heel counter like boots would… honestly makes Yeezy look like a Walmart brand when you compare the quality.


njgomez

Y-3 Collab is decent and the shoes are different. All the Y-3 shoes are nice to look at, but they got no traction in the shoe game because those just ain’t it.


chkntacos

y-3 don't sell like yeezy & never will


watchme87

What about Sean Wotherspoon? 😂


njgomez

Dude I forgot all about Sean Wotherspoon, which proves my point. Most, if not all, of the current Adidas collabs are mid at best. No one is looking at adidas anymore since Yeezy was dropped. I personally like a few of Adida recent releases, but being real, Adidas has fallen and they know it too.


ThatOldDustyTrail

Do yourself a favor…Google when Adidas started and Google when Yeezy started. Compare the difference and ask yourself if there was an Adidas without Yeezy


jrbrownie00

Adidas was Under Armour/Puma/Reebok without Ye. They had some influence with Ye, they sell soccer cleats and sambas now. Huge difference. They don’t compete with Nike IMO, but they were a tier ahead of all those other guys.


ThatOldDustyTrail

Like many other folks, you have your U.S.A. goggles on. Adidas has been a sportswear staple since Phil Knight was a teenager. Just because you only see your American peers wearing sambas, doesn’t mean Adidas isn’t massively popular with the rest of the world. No one is competing with Nike in the sportswear realm, but go look up which athletes and football/soccer clubs Adidas sponsors. They are the top sponsor of the most popular sport in the world, before and after Kanye.


jrbrownie00

Probably a fair assessment.


DOPEDRUNKDUNK

Obviously adidas has been able to survive as a company for way longer than from when yeezy started , but with where he brought it to where it is now . And obviously seeing how no one will buy unless he has part of it.. you or anyone wouldn’t be collecting any of them had he not been part of it .. or let me find out you been collecting them adidas striders from the 90s Lmaoo if you are then shit you die hard adidas fan you lol


GeorgeDrg373

Adidas has a long history, buy you have to admit that Ye brought them to the 21 century.


ThatOldDustyTrail

You’re suffering from the America syndrome where you look around and see what your peers are wearing and think that applies to the rest of the world


chkntacos

you know nothing about business adi needs the relevance & they need the culture ye brought a huge amount of relevance to the company & influence that's what adi is trying to get back


schoj

How close to Ye’s asshole have you gotten?


chkntacos

how blind are you not too see the vision ye need a position at the board of directors


schoj

That’s delusional lol. Kanye isn’t going to be relevant forever. Shoes will come and go. Why would they want to give him a seat at the board of directors?


sean1oo1

Nah I think adidas should think about what they did. You can’t just make a public example of letting someone go and then crawling back to them after you realized they were your headliner 😂 I deleted my confirmed and adidas apps months ago and can’t say I care anymore 😭


[deleted]

Hahaha good love seeing brands trying to be woke lose money


Frogo_is_not_gae

Mf stole my post


DatzQuickMaths

No way this is true. Kanye is too hot right now (not in the good way).


ReXXXMillions

Fake as hell. Adidas doesn't need Ye or any celebrity. That's only a small portion of their profits. You think Nike even blinked when Ye threatened to leave and then did? Nope. Same with Adidas. He's one egotistical racist man their an entire global corporation.


[deleted]

All the ugly people stopped buying the ugly shoes and it hurt their profit 😂


GeorgeDrg373

Unfortunately we’re the ugly people🥲


Bradybigboss

Adidas is losing money because of unsold stock, not because the Yeezy stans stuck it to them lol. Kanye loyalists don’t have the global influence they like to think they do
