How many of you felt some kind of way when Kanye West said “Yeezy just jumped over Jumpman.” While it may be true that the adidas Yeezy Boosts were possibly the most hyped sneaker releases of 2015, the #facts lie in the numbers and Jordan/Nike are lightyears ahead of anything that adidas is doing.
Nike may not be completely over the sloppy breakup because in the last year or so they’ve been releasing some sneakers that take design or color inspiration from the Nike Air Yeezy 2. Now they’ve created a new silhouette that may be an indirect shot at Kanye. The Nike Air Entertainer that you see above has many similarities to the Nike Air Yeezy 2 most noticeably the placement of the Swoosh, the grooves on the heel and the mesh toebox. Even the name Entertainer may be a jab at Kanye because he considers himself so much more than just that these days.
Here are two of the first colorways expected to arrive at retailers, one in all black and the other in all red with both utilizing white soles. Do you think this is a subtle shot at Kanye or is this Nike just creating a new silhouette?

Author’s Take
You can’t help but wonder whether or not this is Nike getting back at Kanye for everything he has said about them over the past year. Instead of making new sneakers why don’t they just release the Nike Air Yeezy 1 and 2 again and make everyone happy?
