Walk away, ‘Ye, just walk on to adidas (allegedly because adidas hasn’t said anything yet)…
Recently Nike and Kanye West broke their ties and we had to ask ourselves, what will happen with the Nike Air Yeezy 2 “Reds” (or “Red October”)? As almost everyone is wondering what will happen to the highly anticipated shoes, Nike has decided to builds up suspense by saying nothing. In all honesty Nike is very admirable for not trashing Kanye’s name and image – even though he has kind of done that himself – after the severing of their bond in such a momentous time. Nike never even got around to setting a release date for the Yeezy 2 Reds before ‘Ye decided he was leaving. Not only did Kanye drop Nike like the ugly step-sister, but he decided he was signing with one of Nike’s main competitors, adidas. Who knows what adidss has in store for Mr. West, but we can be sure that it will be straight fire. However, the real question is will it be better than the collaboration between Nike and ‘Ye?
There is no way to know for sure what Kanye has in store for us, or better yet what designs adidas has in store for him. The real debate, is what Nike will do with the many pairs of Reds produced. We can pretty much make a strong assumption that Nike has already manufactured the Reds considering there were already giveaways of the shoes. So there may be thousands of Yeezy’s sitting in a factory somewhere while Nike decides what to do with them. The possibilities of what Nike could do are endless, so what will they do? We will find out for sure in not too long, but in the meantime we have some possibilities of what they could do.
