Not reading through all of this, but if he is in debt due to his clothing line then he needs less yes people in his circle. Anybody cosigning that homeless person attire and calling if fashion is out of their minds.

Come on now. He's not the only one but he's easily the most notable one.

How did you not understand what I typed when it was clear as day?
Easily?
Who had the biggest song of 2014? And was lead vocalist on a song that was #1 for 13 weeks in 2013?
Who is on a popular TV show in the US every week?
I know kids like to say **** just to say ****, but I like things like tangible information before I just throw superlatives out there.
Of course Kanye has brought attention to the brand. That's what he does best now. Attention.
But if you read what I wrote and understood, everything still stands. I'm responding to an article that mentions an uptick in Stan Smiths and Shelltoes. So.....
Come on now.

Didn't Adidas hire mad people from Nike over the last 2-3 years? I remember reading about some lawsuits from Nike.
Kanye definitely got people to wear Adidas again. It's impressive that he has this many followers. Unreal.

Nike takes over the NBA license in 2017/18 which is pretty big

adidas doesnt even believe in Kanye, but they do in Selena Gomez.

nike really put the shackles on him.
adidas is great at letting their collaborative artists have a lot of freedom to do what they please.
now kanye is much bigger than he was at nike.
Y3 line is the perfect example. ***** amazing where that collaboration started from and where it is now.

and these designers left nike because adidas let them have their own studio and free creative reign at adidas and it is really showing now.
i grew up with both brands and i still wear my racers every now and then but otherwise the brand is pretty boring.

At the end of the day Nike has to not only regret letting Kanye walk, but simply acting as if celebrity endorsements wouldn't severely help them in the streetwear/sportswear market which is growing at a very rapid pace.
since the whole mishap with Ye, they have done collabs with Drake, Don C, Ricardo Tisci etc etc... Under no circumstance am i saying that Nike is gonna crash or even lose their #1 spot (there are several factors and other demographics that effect this battle), but under no circumstance do you want to lose ground in a niche that is heavily influenced by the youth and growing year by year & by letting Kanye walk and go to a direct competitor they hampered themselves a bit.

One crucial reason behind Nike's ability to live with their decision to part ways with Kanye West:
His big mouth. They've stood behind a lot of controversial figures that endorse their products when things get hot. A huge majority of them are athletes, of which Kanye is not. Being that he still wears their shoes in public, a W is a W, without the spaz-fests and damage control.

Everyone say a prayer for Kanye tonight, and hope he gets himself out of debt.
