Falling off the moral high horse.

Lmaoooo. Poor Adidas. I thought the anti-Semitic shoe design from the anti-Semitic creator wouldn’t be sold since anti-semitism was the problem. It’s like rebranding nazi helmets smh 🤦🏻‍♂️ Good thing is they will flop. No one will want those shoes if they’re not Yeezys lol.

Isn’t that stealing?

Basically fakes

BinkleyOnStyle So Adidas distancing from Ye’s “racist” remarks didn’t mean anything, cos they’re still going to use his designs and profit from them lmao this is what meaningless virtue signaling looks like

Nobody wants some ugly off-brand shoe designs; we want Yeezys.

Terrible. How can they look into the eyes of these victims of antisemitism & still sell those shoes?

So it’s not even a clean break. You’d think that if they really didn’t like the guy they wouldn’t even try to attach themselves to him anymore. 🫠

a yeezy isn’t a yeezy without yeezy

Sounds like a great way to end up on the wrong end of a lawsuit....

Wasn’t that kanyewest’s entire grievance with Adidas? Stealing his designs as inspiration for unlicensed shoes?

That's gonna sting.

Fake Yeezys 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The pricing & attention paid to shoes is weird.

So they are taking the designs and intellectual properly of the creator and not paying home for it? Sounds a little like a form of something America banned a while back

His products are trash🤡🤮

oboijagbe see them

No one will be supporting bootlegs.. Ye designs but no Ye. No value.

When does Yeezy sue Adidas

'Ezy' Yeezy - but without the 'Ye'

That is stealing!
