Kanye West thinks his Yeezy slipper design was stolen by guess who?

There’s no denying that Kanye West is an obnoxious person. But it’s a fairly common “side” effect of talent, and Ye is not deprived of it. Even Taylor Swift, who has an ugly history with the rapper (remember how he ripped off the singer’s microphone on stage at the 2009 MTV Awards?), admitted that the whole fashion story to some extent revolves around West. Not only is his figure really to be reckoned with, but Kanye has also earned a big name in the fashion industry. Is it a joke to organize Yeezy collaborations with APC, Nike, adidas, Louis Vuitton, Balenciaga and other world famous brands?

Common lines sold out in seconds, and that’s not a figure of speech. Another thing is that the not always fruitful cooperation ended with a good handshake and plans for the future. In 2015, Kanye signed a partnership deal with footwear giant adidas, a deal that many experts call the most lucrative of the artist’s career. From royalties on sales, according to the Web, he earned about 200 million dollars – a considerable sum. The creative tandem of Yeezy and adidas could have thrived if not for the sudden accusations West made on his social media.

Take a look: below are the Yeezy Slide slippers, which were developed by Kanye and the designers of the German giant. One of the most popular models today, the record holder for fakes – having gained incredible popularity among influencers, slippers began to “revive” in third-party brands. Similar ones even came out at adidas even without the participation of the rapper – pay attention to the photo under Yeezy, that is, the Adilette 22 model.

“These shoes embody the lack of respect that powerful people have for talent,” West rages and asks for interviews with adidas CEO Kasper Rorsted. And also wish him (or all of us) a pleasant Monday. Who knew a tough day would start with a fashion scandal? It should be recognized that the slipper designs are really similar, but apart from the German brand, Puma, Zara and Versace have released similar lines. With popular designs, this often happens – they get picked up, inspired by them, and relaunched. But not everyone considers this plagiarism, they say, the trend simply cannot be stopped. It remains to be hoped that the cooperation between Yeezy and adidas will continue – in the history of sneakers they are already legends.
