Kanye Calls Out Adidas For Copying His Slides
Kanye West took to Instagram to call out his shoe partner, Adidas, for copying his design. Kanye specifically targeted Adidas CEO, Kasper Rorsted. According to Ye, the Adilette 22 slides are a copy of his Yeezy slides. Ye captioned, “To Kasper I’m not standing for this blatant copying no more. To all sneaker culture to every ball player rapper or even if you work at the store. This is for everyone who wants to express themselves but feel they can’t cause they’ll loose their contract or be called crazy. Bravery is not not being afraid. Bravery is overcoming your fear for your truth. This Ye with the blue paint on my face. These shoes represent the disrespect that people in power have to the talent. This shoe is a fake Yeezy made by Adidas themselves. I’m not talking to DC about this either Kasper come talk to me.” Ye originally signed a deal with Adidas in 2013 and released the first Yeezy sneakers in 2015.
