I don’t know which one is worse, Meek Mill rocking a pair of Nike Uptempo while a poster boy for Puma or V. Abloh with the Yeezy Wave Runner. For the past month and half , the sneaker community has been talking about Abloh’s Nike Off-white collection, and what does he do? His sorry tail steps out with a pair of Yeezy Runner on his feet. I’m not the smartest individual on earth but it doesn’t take an Einstein to realize that this was a poor move. He is entitled to wear or do whatever he wants; and I’m not sure what kind of agreement he has with Nike, but this certainly looks like a stab in the back. It’s almost like a subtle way of him saying,
Yes the Off-white Nike collection is dope, but Kanye is my close friend so F*** Nike, I rock with the best, Adidas
He just pretty much validated Adidas, whether knowingly or unknowingly I don’t know. But this was certainly a poor move and he ought to be smarter than that. Again I’m not knocking on the guy, he can do whatever he pleases, but I don’t think this was the right time to step out with a pair of Adidas shoes. What are your thoughts? Look at it from a business perspective.
Nike put all the money on him. His sneakers are still in the release process, and he wears these ugly shoes….. Don’t trust Kanye and Virgil and all the guys they hang with. Kanye went to Trump tower after the elections. These guys are fake and not to be trusted.
