Interesting story, super video 👍 Let's get even more info about cool designers in the sneaker industry 👟 like Helen Kirkum, for example her work with Asics, Nike, Adidas.
I hate the fact that he is saying Adidas is stealing his designs when he is using Adidas designers who design for both lines. It's just stupid, but the people believe anything! Keep sharing the truth.
Hah! I always had a feeling Kanye didnt design those sneakers... Great informative video, if it´s not too much to ask for I would like to know the designer(s) behind every Yeezy silhouette. Would be great if you could make another video about all Yeezy designs and the designer(s) behind them!
FINALLY… Someone telling it like it is. I wrote on this topic a few times on our blog. It’s worth noting Jerry Lorenzo counts EQT and ‘90s adi-Bball as the pinnacle of Bball aesthetic. ‘Very happy to see adidas help him get FOG Athletics off the ground. I’m pleased your channel hit my feed. ✌🏽💙👟

Facts and to Add the Yeezy foam runner was a concept shoe designed by former Adidas designer Guy Marshall same person who designed Mutombo, Shell Toe 2000, Kobe-1, Street Ball,etc
You could say the same about Yohji Yamamoto, RAF Simmons and Virgil Abloh. We buy the name of the curators not the creators. The Yeezy 1 is a combo or 3 air Jordans. Yeezy 2, Yeezy 750 and FoGs are all air Mags so Jerry is also a curator.
You kicked off your comment with the man almost single-handedly making sneakers to the office a thing? Yamamoto’s daughter is also a proper designer. KW fantasized about becoming a Yohji Yamamoto clone. The problem is only one of them is a designer and knows how to make garments and has done. The other designers you mentioned are designers. KW is/was a wannabe. His contribution is hYpE (with a bonus of confusing people about what designing is). ✌🏽💙👟
@@sneakerprofiler SLVR has been gone since 2011, but SLVR models get rereleased as Y3 and RAFs. All I’m saying is Yeezy isn’t the only brand that doesn’t design everything the brand is on.
Very interesting. Nothing wrong with being a creative director, however anyone could select the designer of something great and get them to design something for them, it doesn't look like he had much input other than that, and saying he wanted glow in the dark soles!
yeah I get it as a "Creative director" but I don't feel like these REAL creatives get enough credit, and he acts as if he's a DESIGNER.. which I hope i've shown - hes not!
"Any short gay man" Lmao. I'm about to get my first dad shoe as well. The Gel Kayano 14 in the white/cream colorway. Also, have you seen the new Teaser for the AsicsxKith? I personally like them. I am interested in seeing what that archived model even is.
You really did your homework and I agree, Kanye is not a designer. I’d say he isn’t even a creative when it comes to sneaker designs. Virgil was more of a creative, Steve Jobs was a creative because they sat through and orchestrated each part of the process where as Kanye seemed to basically sign off on samples. I will say that although Ye is not necessarily a traditional sneaker designer or creative, he is however an extraordinary visionary. A visionary ability is to take something a lot of times things that already existed and exploited and propelling it to a different stratosphere with their passion, following, mindset, and self marketing abilities. He’s one of the greatest visionaries of our era
Even if he didn't design it. His name sell it lol..i never brought anything of kanye clothes or even jordans. I never was a fashion type person heavily. From a business perspective it just interesting cause kanye brand been more successful then other celebs. Enough to make him a billionaire
The older and more experienced I get in this industry. I realize Kanye isn’t what everyone paints him out to be. Him along with others in the space capitalize off true creatives’ ideas and abilities. Guy is just an arrogant fraud whose best days are far behind him.

Nice! I didn’t know that. 👌
Great vid!! Instant sub!
Thank you brother!! 🙏
I'm actually surprised there are people out there who think he actually designed those shoes.
I know right!! The truth is out now tho with the Adidas patents!
Pretty agree with that, adidas hired a great design team to support yeezy product line, lots of design concepts are come out from the team , not ye.
I agree 100%
Kanye is like the mascot that’s really good at doing the flip dunks off of trampolines
😆😆😆
Great video. Many Kanye stans just can't understand he didn't design a lot of it.
Exactly! they think he's some artistic genius! not just some sample fiend!
Savage video - love this content - really interesting
Cheers mate! Hope I wasn’t to harsh!!! 😅
@@thegellyfe - Nope - bang on the money
NCIE VIDEO! Never knew any of that!

Those three you mention all make things and even have a solid design theme/language - my point is Kanye doesn’t!

@@sneakerprofiler you know the sub-brand adidas SLVR?
@@Hengel_Andrews is that even a thing anymore? I feel like adidas Blue Version is that movement now.

@@thegellyfe Yes absolutely, credit has to go where it's due!
This is why LV hired Virgil and not Kanye
Exactly that!! Virgil MAKES things / Kanye needs others! 👍
i knew it
facts! (look at those design patents Adidas jsut came with - Bye Bye West!
@@thegellyfe His name makes them blow up tho
@@thegellyfe the yeezy name, its catchy

I'll be ready!!

I think he really knows how to operate in todays climate / culture and manipulate things tbf!
Who designed the horrible foam Yeezy's
I'm pretty sure it was Stevie Wonder tbf.

perhaps! but then again what does a "producer" do - do they play the keys or do they KNOW what they want??
Al Bundy!
😂 come again??
