I got them 🤷🏿 better than foam runners don't care about boycotting, just billionaires arguing with each other doesn't affect me
Foams>>>>>>
@@francescopetrarca7382 but if it had a Yeezy logo you and everyone else would be d riding them 🤫🤫
@@pissypamper5672 Yeezys don’t even have logos you dweeb 😂
A knockoff with no integrity is never better than the OG. You have low level taste and are someone that should not be trusted based on your decision making.
Basically. And the worst thing is people are making this seem a lot deeper than just that.
If everyone is boycotting, i may have a chance to cop at retail 🤣
Exactly. Boycott away! lol
Have at it. Those shoes ugly af
yip the retail price is fair but resell means I own just the one pair of onyx foam runners because while into them the fact i paid 200 for comfortable crocs is wild
@@elizabeth3280 finally someone with sense. These are just glorified Crocs.
Yall are tripping if you think people will stop wearing Adidas because some smelly rappers don't like them. Adidas make good quality clothes and shoes that people have been wearing forever and will continue doing so.
Adidas and Ye both made billions from working together and I don't know if they could have done it without the other. Adidas can't hype up a shoe to the point that millions of people worldwide are trying to cop it the second it drops. And Ye doesn't have the patience to do all the R&D and set up contracts and logistics with overseas factories.
@@nn-hx8oe exactly lol dont get me wrong i'll continue to watch elliot content he seems like a cool dude, but im glad to see that the majority of his audience doesnt share his point of view, we all are entitled to our own opinions after all and to me this all issue is pure nonsense
Adidas need Yzy more than the other way around 😂
@@Rexkinghon cap you thing adidas would just disappear bcuz ye is gone lol they still got big collabs and these adidas lol Ye cam never be as big as them
@@Rexkinghon they need eachother, yeezy wouldnt be a thing if it werent for adidas, adidas would not be what it is if it werent for yeezy
@@Rexkinghon meh, idk what other brand Ye could have partnered which is the same level as Adidas....he already burned the bridge with Nike. Anyway, this shoe looks better
Real talk - I think they look better than the Foam Runner. Also the inner shoe with the padding is a great addition - the foam runners are just killing my ankles, like they're literally bleeding
True... too many bullshit talks around this, adifom q is a real shoe in the foam sneakers world
FACTS i wear foam runners at a festival and my ankles got destroyed i think i still have even scars bro cmon adi fom i can't wait to cop one pair for retail.. too bad EU stock was low asf
Foam rnnr make you slide esp, in a shiny floor i swear im almost laying on the floor 🤣
Bro wear fucking socks with the foams wtf?
Ghayyyy
Expectations: mass boycotts
Reality: they'll sell out instantly.
No they won’t…nobodies buying that shit except people who don’t like Kanye and if that’s a reason to buy a shoe I think they might wanna take that money and get a physiological evaluation. 😂
They're reselling on stockx at the same price as retail so I'd say they aren't gonna be popular
@@Cho0segoose hope for that!
Kanye once said he wanted yeezy to be popular, that anyone could get one but he never did that even releasing colors after color and adidas is doing exactly that. More stock reasonable prices and not resellers bot to sold out
This!
@@antoniogleyser hopefully one day they can do the same for Yeezys rather then for knockoffs
Sometimes you gotta call out an ugly sneaker. Be it's the Yeezy 500s, Balenciaga's Triple S,and Speed socks, or Jordan 7 retros. Yall gotta stop normalizing these ugly shoes
😂😂😂
thank you!
Had the same thought
idk yeezy 500s and jordan 7s arent that bad, opinions exist unfortunately
thank you, finally a comment from earth
The Adidas design is less messy, it's more polished in a sense.
I like them actually more.
Also the bump on the ye always confused me, visually I got used to it but I still don't really like it that much.
I'm just speaking about the design, so of course it's subjective and everyone can have a different opinion about the design, the controversy is something different.
homie tryna be different so bad
@@zerf991adifom's are just better
@@zerf991 can't even like things anymore without "tryna be different", grow up
The AdiFOM Q looks way better than the foam runner. It's neat, it looks ergonomic, and it just looks like a shoe that the designer has actually taken time to put thought into.
It's a shoes runners are slip on jazzed up Crocs not the same
Kanye claims they copy his designs, yet he uses all of Adidas' tech. Boost was a big part in making his shoes popular from the jump. If I was Adidas I would tell him to design the whole shoe, like the cushion setup and outsole.
Lol he wouldn’t be able too. Adidas is the reason Yeezys we’re popular not the other way around
I know I’m a year late a a dollar shot. But, If we're being honest, all of his sneakers are just copied from older adidas designs. The Yeezy 500 for example is no different, it's just a copy of the Kobe Crazy8 3's.
Let’s be honest, if they were “Yeezys” you and everybody else would say they are ground breaking and amazing.
true said, if that's Yeezys collection. Everyone would be like wow that's dope but sadly we need someone to endorse the brand and reaffirm the hype in the sneaker culture. Nobody knows if The Adi Q form is actually one of Ye archives. I have huge respect for both adidas and ye but as a consumer i think we just buy what we like. it doesnt matter who designs it.
looks and style wise gives similar vibe to foamposites personally rather than water shoe-esque foam runners. Regardless of the stigma around them I prefer the fact it's closer to a shoe
Def inspired from the foam rnnrs
@@slambamcam completely but I meant more as the vibe, like outfits that would go good with foamposites would go better with the adifom rather than the foamrnrs
Bro have you ever looked at a foamposite before
@@OhRights oh my bad I mistook what you said, but yes I agree!
I thought same thing
I really think YE missed on this one. The designed might be inspired by the foams but it’s in no way a copy.
lol. look at the back part. It is more than inspired. They tried to one up him on his own design and are trying to give Kanye 0 for this.
Ye is part of this whole drama I bet, they all planned this
they would of never thought of this design without the yeezy foam lol
@@obnoxiouscat6269 That's sort of what 'being inspired' means, right
Kanye 100 percent owner of Yeezy. Ye gets a percent from every foam sold. He won't get a penny from this shoe. He didn't team up with Adidas to compete with him.
I think these look better than the foam runners imo. Yeezy’s are ultra exclusive to get so Adidas giving customers a knock off version for the masses of people who want them without paying resale then why not. 🤷🏽♀️ It seems like Confirmed never wants to spread the love among consumers for Yeezy shoes. Nike does it all the time. Kanye and Adidas stole the foam design for a smaller African American sneaker designer anyway. His shoes are more similar to the adidas ones with the liner.
The foamrunners are ugly, and the FOM Q are everthing the foamrunners aren't
Plus adidas’s ones are 10x prettier
Your argument that adidas is providing a cheap alternative is stupid. Kanye has been trying to produce more of his products and cut down on costs to benefit the consumer and he’s been vocal about it. Adidas know what they are doing building exclusive hype to Yeezys by not mass producing them. Kanye has been trying to branch off and provide production warehouses in America. Makes no sense to knock off a slide when they can literally produce it, I mean they do have the molds to do so? Wouldn’t that be cheaper than creating a newer knock off mold? L take.
Ye wanted to sell them cheaper. Adidas would not allow it. Then, they steal his design and undercuts yes price.
@@voicessamples7396 I would need solid proof of this. For all I know in negotiation he might have seen the sale and brand reputation as Hype shoes and might have just sign the contract for it to stay as a Hype shoe.
Just to add another thought on this. To anybody who doesn’t have an engineering/manufacturing background, remember that to make these shoes they’re all designed and produced through tools/machinery which cost obscene amounts of money of which Adidas pays and therefore owns.
Adidas has the machinery to make Yeezy foam runners sat there, of which they’ve paid millions for. So instead of it just making Yeezys, they design their own ‘version’ different enough to call it their own but it has to be similar because it’s using the same machine/manufacturing process. This is probably why the design includes one of those in-sole sock like things and laces, because punching a few extra holes in for laces is an easy and obvious design change but doesn’t cost huge amounts in machine/tool modifications.
Adidas are taking advantage of their own tools/machines/capabilities to increase their profits from a machine that was originally designed to make just Yeezys but now can make other shoes as well (such as these).
Yeezy/Diddy/HipHop culture seems to believe that since they own the design they own everything. That’s not the case, and they’re naieve to think a huge cooperation like Adidas would ever treat them as equal.
Yeezy designs the shoe, adidas manufactures it. One can’t work without the other. Difference is, Adidas still own all their manufacturing processes and can use them on designs outside of Yeezy’s, to create shoes such as these.
Dude couldnt you just paraphrase this, we didn't need a whole entire essay!!
nah bro you wrong, this is blatant disrespect, looks to me like they riding his wave letting him create only to steal his ideas and push him out, it has been happening since slavery think back to the original kfc recipe, the patent for the telephone, the design of the first lightbulb people with the money and tools has always done this to people with the ideas think even nikola tesla vs thomas edison, its not even a white on black thing its greed
WE DON'T DILUTE BRANDS REGARDLESS WHY TO AVOID CANNIBALISING BRANDS - 101! RIP OFF - YEEZY PAY THIS MAN HIS DUES. BEFORE YE ADDISA NEVER DID THIS DESIGN NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN. PUT SOME RESPECT ON THIS NAME AND WHAT IT STAND FOR, HIGH END BRAND LIKE JORDAN IN THE ADDIS FIRM. STOP WITH THE CORPSPLANING, COURT OF PUBLIC OPINION WHICH IS THE CUSTOMER STANDS WITH YE BETTER YET TAKE IT TO COURT!
@@tonytuffers you didn’t need to read it 😉
@@sayfami3927 wow this is… Something lol
This was a great video for sure. The controversy behind this adi foam is wild. Also congratulations on 200k! Keep up the hard work.
All this drama on this topic, meanwhile nike's entire lineup of their GR shoes is a copy or "inspired" from their collabs.
Nike is the holy grail you know, flawless.
Adidas funded his designs so they can do what they want honestly, This is what sway meant when he was telling him that its better own your own shit in the long run instead of being under a top brand
How sway?
You ain’t got the answers sway
It’s called work for hire. It’s hundreds of years old. Porche once cut their v8 engine in half and made it work with counterbalances. And put it in a car called the 944. Porche owned that and they patented it. So Chrysler instead of putting the counterbalance in the engine block put it in the oil pan and made the iron duke 4 cylinder. Porche could do nothing. It skirted the patent. Did the engineers at Porche own counterbalances? No. Porche didn’t even own counterbalances.
@@reach831 it’s a video out of him saying sway had the answers all along…….
We have all seen it happen since the beginning, Kanye makes a shoe and after about 5 years another company uses parts of it to make a new generation of shoe. The boost changed footwear and the designs of the Yeezys have been copied and changed by other companies for years, now the foam runner will be the new version of this mainly because it is so cost effective for companies to make these type of shoes.
yes but the difference is that they stealing the person they working with design , its just like the fn meka situation the using creatives work and taking it as a formula and kicking them out and doing their shit , other companies make knock offs which is to be expected since the product is selling but what addidas is doing is more fucked up
@@neo.5327 I couldn't have said it better
The only reason Yeezy shows are big is because of hype. It’s not like he did some revolutionary thing. People just have sheep mindsets so the flock and the companies see that and they flock as well
@@SunnyExMusic not really everyone wearing yeezys old people young people they a comfy shoe with a cool unique design
@@nimanixo literally nobody bought yeezys because they are comfy. There's tons of comfy shoes out there nobody is buying. Sheep buy the shoes. It's all just hype.
Kanye doesnt even design his shoes and he wants credit for it, bro got ghost designers 💀
Also, the adidas one looks wayyyyy better
Lmfao ghost designers
Adidas do not design their own shoes either they have 100 of designer, drawing sketches and product designs until the main design VP approves them for manufacturing. So Adidas pretty much just higher artist to draw shoes give them around 45-100k a year, then sell the shoes they design and make billions off of it each year. SAME with NIKE and other shoe brands. So Kanye is doing same as other brands of shoes, clothing, products and etc. The true artist of the show want see anything but a salary for about 7yrs then they fire them and lay them off to get new designers.
I'm guessing Crocs will be demanding banning all Ye and Diddy music then seeing as technically they started the whole foam shoe renaissance thing? 😁
The Q is a slightly better looking version of the ye but there are many differences.
But they’re both super ugly and I’m stepping on them in public!
Be careful people kill people just because they step on there shoes
Relax. We could just consider Yeezy to Adidas is like Lexus to Toyota, or Acura to Honda... the more luxury version. I think the cheap China Foam Runners knock-offs that costs USD20 but feels almost as good as the real thing is doing much more harm to Kanye rather than Adidas itself.
Nah, I’m going to keep buying adidas. Shoe makers make a more available version of collab and limited shoes. Plus I don’t think the adifom q look like foam runners. Just because it’s a foam based shoe, doesn’t make it a a foam runner rip off. The adifom q is just a foam version of the adidas quakes
I think the same way. Look for ex. the Sacai Waffle, Nike made a cheaper option, but it was literally the same !! and no one complained !!
Adidas designers suck. They keep tryna make Yeezy ish shoes and they are all terrible. These are the worst. There is a fine line between boundary pushing design and just butt ugly. Kanye is one of the best at pushing the boundaries and Adidas is the best at falling on their face and just trying to hard. The Oswego, the Slides, now this. Yeezy is better off distancing themselves from Adidas. Adidas needs to stick to gym clothes.
@@SammieDavis707 just because you don’t like the designs doesn’t mean others don’t as well. I think the other designs are fine. I prefer the adilette slides 22 and adifom q over the slides and foam runners.
@@SammieDavis707 again, but this time don’t dickride to much pls
@@SammieDavis707 i mean adidas got some fire collants cooking up in the over, they don’t really need Kanye. That’s a shame because I really like yeezys but at the end of the day the ozlucent are coming and they look better than any yeezy to me.
Ain’t a good day without a Elliot page upload🔥🔥
Let’s gooo❤️🔥
Can’t wait for more colorways of these. Kanye is right in a way, but adidas also gave him tha factories to create shoes and sneakers that Nike never gave him 🤷🏽♂️
It’s kinda weird, because taking a product, improving changing things and redesign are exactly what sampling is in hip hop production..
@@TheRusk123 u need to clear samples before u can use them bro
@@petallio yeah that’s the law but not what the producers would like.. they always produce, clear samples later before release because of legal issues .. when ye started, they didn’t care
why are people not talking about Kanye took the Yeezy 500 and how that shoe is inspired by an Adidas shoe. I see no problem with creating a product being inspired by an artist or another shoe. their partnership should consist of building both brands Adidas and Yeezy but ever since Kanye started wearing Nike products that was a huge slap to Adidas . so I see why Adidas posted that video of the Adifoam Q
Good point
Good Point. But you know how it is only Kanye can be the villain.
Was an adidas proposition, with them permission, I don't think adidas is doing the same tower kanye.
@@justlove9750 idk, Adidas has been doing this with the Tubular, Ozweego, Ozelia, Ozrah, and the Streetball 1 & 2.
yeezy calabasas 🤣
You gotta check out the Balenciaga HD sneakers, they’re a foam shoe with laces that’s dropping in November. I’ll be copping for sure
This colorway was released like 4 days ago in Hong Kong, sold out instantly......
My 2 cents, this “ beef” at the bottom line of it is exactly that, the bottom line, money, Kanye brings sketches and ideas to a design team, they develop from the paper to bring the sketch to life, people who understand materials and how these materials move, flex and durability and so on, it’s a long process, machines are made or modified to create something new and Kanye and adidas brand them and we get Yeezys, now through these processes new ideas are created, new materials and tech thst adidas develops , to me I can’t see the problem with adidas using co created materials to produce new models or update older ones, after all Kanye uses boost or prime knit and adiprene ripped straight from an older model or literally stamping “ calabasas “ on a powerphase and it’s suddenly a yeezy, it works both ways, neither the slides or these look directly like the yeezy counterparts, inspired by maybe but definitely not a carbon copy, there’s an archived model this show looks exactly like that adidas have clearly used newer tech to bring it back into todays trends of foam build shoes, this is not a new idea, it always happens with all kinds of industry, race or culture has absolutely no place in the discussion as diddy brought up, this is business, money and nothing else, to me as a sneaker fan I honestly think this is a bad thing for both brands and will mean if it really does end it will a long time until we see big production of yeeezys again and a good chance of a retail price accessible to more people being a thing of the past if the trend of where Kanye is going with fashion continues, he made his billion ( how sway?) 🤷♀️
You got best comment by far
You make so much sense
It might be an innovative way to make a sneaker but the tech is here now. How does Ye expect Adidas to sit on it? Jordan even came out with a foam sneaker today and many other brands copy Yeezy’s like make faux Yeezy’s but he’s not nearly as mad at them.
Imagine the company you work for and your own shoe released under being the one whos copying you and slighting you. Thats the difference why be mad at someone who cant deliver half the shoe or to the rate addidas themselves can.
The fashion world copies each other. It has always been that way and will continue to be that way. If Kanye had a legal leg to stand on he'd sue. Instead he's trying to turn the sneaker heads against Adidas because he's butthurt. That said I hope that wherever Yeezy ends up next, that Kanye makes sure to get stuff of no copying (hard to define) in writing.
Yeezy didn't do shit on design. The current head designer for Yeezy is Steven Smith. He is also the designer of the Reebok Instapump Fury and the New Balance 997, and he is also credited for the design of the 700 sole, the 451, and the Foam Runner, among several others.
I think the same way. Look for ex. the Sacai Waffle, Nike made a cheaper option, but it was literally the same !! and no one complained !!
Ye's beef with Adidas won't stop me buying Adidas if i like em. I doubt if Adidas can be "cancelled" tbh It's an international co making billions every year. Ye tried to get a loan from JP Morgan, but he got refused as an Adidas board member is also on the board of JP Morgan. Just to give an idea what Ye is up against.
Ye has no chance in the fashion world he's been trying fir over a decade and Adidas is only company to give him a fair shake and now he's blowing it. No company wanted to give him 100% creative control and the 1 company that did you pull this crap. He's going to get himself black listed. Will he still make money? Yes! But will it be the billions he could've made with Adidas, no!
@@ClearSmoke100 True. With GAP he was costing them too much money with rejected samples. GAP has a 3:1 ratio of samples making it to the shop floor. With Ye it was over 10! This is why he got Balenciaga involved to help with the sampling. Which is why it says "engineered by Balenciaga" But that has come to an end now. He has to deliver on his own.
Tbh that collection was trash, i wouldn't wear any of it, and at those prices, lmao. Ye got that Stay Pufft Marshmallow Man/Dominitrix vibe going on. Not quite my style.
I am definitely getting those adifomQ, they look fire, I couldnt care less about billionares drama lol
fax
U want mine I got a 10.5 never wore it but I bought 10.5 on accident let me know?
If you like them get them. But what's sad is you would be supporting Adidas for making a design Kanye will get 0 for. I'd be mad too. With that said, if I can get them at retail I'll grab them too hahaha.
@@hp7639 also fax lmao
@@hp7639 man even if that were true, im pretty sure there are companies with worst background than "copying" a shoe model to some mentally unstable millionaire and we still buy their products anyways, just look at Nike and Apple sweatshops lol
Bro signed a contract without reading the fine print
Nike did the same thing to Jordans when they created dunks, i think adidas tryna replicate that
Good point. Heck, Nike ganks other company's designs all the time though.
My opinion on theese shoes that they are simillar to the foam runner, but I still want them cause they look fire and this is something I have not seen before, also they prob will be more affordable than the foam runner and there will be more in stock.
the thing is n stockx right now, aside from fake issues, you can acquire the Foam runner for almost the same price. at least in my size. so then many will start having to choose. Nike did this with the Sacai x Nike Waffle LD, debuting a Nike Waffle One, but at a much much lower cost.
@@citizendan6390 Never tried runners but the idea of laces and removable sock is appealing and different vs the FRs
they look fire ??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I couldn't care less to be honest, I've seen plenty of peeps walking around with YZY slide copy cats. The question is, are the AdiFom kicks comfortable & reasonably priced. The AdiFom may be inspired by the YZY foam trend but they do not look the same. They're plenty of kicks decade's old that look like kicks from other brands. I'm not a Kanye West fanboy, he can't convince me of anything & he falls out with everyone he works with.
It’s like a fake foam runner *alike*
Cus Kanye has a partnership with Adidas. They should have called these foam runner v2 and worked with Kanye and manufacturer more Yeezys but right now Adidas put a high price tag on them and also make small batches. Kanye has been wanting to make shoes cheaper but Adidas is greedy
@@envyLP333 U type like U know what you're talking about & U don't. We don't know anything about what's transpiring behind the scenes & we shouldn't get caught up in what's said out loud by he say she say.
@@mtbicepulous bruh 💀 it
Lowkey concerning, give me cult vibes
The shoes are going to be $120 and drop sometime this September or October
I don't think Adidas went out to copy Yeezy, but simply reused a design that they have ownership of. Which company doesn't reuse some components of a successful product to make something else? However, I do think they set out to lean on (steal) the hype of Yeezy's to get some extra sales. Kanye is incredibly talented, but he's always nuking relationships. I don't know how any company will give him this much freedom in the future unless he outright buys a company.
Fr like, not to dicksuck adidas but they gave the man a lot of freedom, and he's taking out his personal shit on his business relationships.
but they literally copied it lol
look at the back hole and look at the foam runners again lol. Changing the shapes on the side from circles, squares or hearts and adding a little doesn't make them much different. it's like creating a 350 with no laces and putting heart designs around the shoe. It's still the same and Adidas definitely tried but failed. Kanye gets 0 for this and for sure this controversial shoe will sell out easily.
@@dizzle1119 Nah. That's your opinion and even if it slightly was, it is visibly stealing Kanye's design and I'm not even a fan of his. All you have to do is look at the back part of the shoe and that hole and it's clear they stole his design. You don't have to agree but it's very obvious to anyone that is honest with themselves.
@@dizzle1119 That's why I said if it slightly was but I also specified why they copied him. It's not my opinion either, it is an obvious copy of his design. Just look at that hole in back part and look at thumb nail. You cannot say it isn't very similar and for Adidas to do something like that is a cheap shot at Kanye. You can hold to your opinion and I can hold to mine. Fair enough?
Been waiting for this one! I ordered mine from Goat and the seller still hasn’t shipped them… these will be apart of sneaker history.
im thinking the same thing
you think I should cop?
@@blitz8718 I would say it’s a very safe hold. It’s only slightly over retail at this point.
Wonder what’s going to happen with the wider release
@@elliotpage_ if we even get to see them… I wonder if Ye got them canceled lol
They look better than the foam runners for sure. In fact, id say all the "copies" ( more like inspired ) of yeezies ( slides, Ozrah,Ozelia ) look bertter than the originals.
Diddy's comment about Adidas taking advantage of hip hop culture is obsurd. I would feel differently if he took issue with the fact all shoe companies are fine with charging $200 for a shoe made by someone whom is not being paid a liveable wage. To me, what Adidas seems to be doing to Kamye appears wrong on the surface. What Adidas, Nike, and other corporations are doing to maximize profits by exploiting human labor is wrong regardless of perspective.
Agreed. That's my point. You can't pump brands that are exploitive and elitist and then ask everyday consumers to stand with you when you only stand with the when it benefits your personal brand. And I'm not asking Diddy or anyone to boycott any brand. Personally I believe if we only supported brands that 100% aligned with all of our ideals we wouldnt be able to support any of them. For me, a brand has to do something very egregious that goes violently against my ideals for me to stop supporting them. Not saying that labor exploitation isn't egregious. Just saying so many brands engage in it now or did in the past but never apologized for it.
OFF TOPIC THOUGH NOBLE - WE DON'T DILUTE BRANDS REGARDLESS WHY TO AVOID CANNIBALISING BRANDS - 101! RIP OFF - YEEZY PAY THIS MAN HIS DUES. BEFORE YE ADDISA NEVER DID THIS DESIGN NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN.

Diddy is the last person that should be talking
So blatantly stealing somebody’s ideas and art is okay?
@@THEANGRYNEWYORKER do artists deserve more equity in their designs when partnering with a company? Sure. However, what if said artist willfully entered into the partnership and signed a contract that allows them to do budget friendly models of your designs or use some of that design language on other products? And if you're using their infrastructure to create all of this what may have felt like a fair exchange in the beginning now feels like theft and exploitation. I'm glad this is happening to Ye'. If this truly is exploitation and theft then who better to fix it and create a paradigm shift to revolutionize the industry? He has done basically everything he said he would so far. He needs to stop trying to play within the system and just build his own.
The adiFom is a homage to the adidas quake (2001) and Adidas EQT Remix (2007). They just so happened to make reference to the foam runner.
Shhh don't post knowledge or any insight just pick a side and shitpost for billionaires 🦧🧼😏😏
I just got yzy foam runners sand(first foam runner) but the adifom look nothing like foam runners besides being foam. By that logic yeezy copy crocs.
Lets not forget how original hip hop is, given most of it is made using the same drum break 'stolen' from one record (which itself was a cover of another record)? The whole sample culture 'borrows' bits of music most people wouldn't even realise the origins of, without a vast knowledge of everything from orchestral music through to electronic, spanning centuries of other creators work.
The yeezys looked like a cross between the adidas prophere and the tubular, the slide was a modified adidilette. It's ok for Ye to go on about his creativity but it's adidas, their r and d, their technologies, their manufacturing that made his ideas into reality. I wonder how much of the actual process he was involved with, how much of his designs and vision weren't actually bits borrowed from elsewhere?
The adilettes are much more then the yeezy slides, the only similarity the foam construction which I'm pretty sure belongs to Addidas, as is Boost, as is primeknit etc. Another aspect isn't Adidas, ripping off Ye, but everyone else ripping off Adidas and Yeezy with their takes on the Ye slides and foam runners.
The AdiFomq Looks fantastic and as they clearly stated was based on one of their own models the Quakes. Adidas would have been idiots to not release something of their own. Especially seeing as someone who they invested a lot of money in and whom has since made billions, comes across as a spoilt child who's spat out his dummy and is taking his ball home, they probably didn't just keep passing it to him.
you might wanna read a book on the origins of hip hop lol
@@thomse5430 I have, what I wrote is a summary of a major aspect of hip hop relative to the discussion. I'm not writing a thesis.
it seems that sneakers only came into existence after Kanye made the Yeezys, because everything that Adidas releases you compare with some Yeezy. And by the way, I will buy this model for sure, because since I can't buy any Yeezy because of bots and resellers, I'm going to buy these and other models.
They already reselling lol
Better get them now before resale goes up , you already missed retail
Yea have fun wearing your knockoff second choices. At that point just swallow your pride and move on...? Why buy something you half baked want
@@ramenisbombman Hypebeast alert, adifoam is more comfortable.
@@ramenisbombman because it’s more comfortable lmao I gave my old runners to my cousin😂
Edit: forgot to add the fact that they look better too
Hey is it possible to know whats the brand & where I can get the T-shirt you are wearing with the green cargos please
tbh these look so much better than Yeye's designs, foam runners look goofy af and these have a much sleeker silhouette
I'd be curious to know more about the process of Kanye 'designing' a shoe. I'd be astounded if he did much more than vaguely describing designs to an actual designer. If he mocked up that sketch himself I'd be astounded.
You should be astounded then I guess. He designed the entire shoe 😂
HE IS AN ARTIST....HAVE YOU SEEN HIS ARTWORK? BTW AS A YOUNG ARTIST HE USE TO SKETCH SNEAKER DRAWINGS.... I CAN GO ON AND ON...BUT U GET THE POINT... U PROLLY DIDNT KNOW.. ITS ALL GOOD
Then why do his ridiculous designs sell. Not because they’re intelligent designs. It’s more because he puts his name on them and allows his fame to carry the trending market but really, people wearing them look like fools.
@@judahmourns2995 links pls I'd like to check em out
Just means they designed it and put his name on it.
Im totally digging the design. Defo will go for them! Hope ill get a pair. Dont care about the ye situation
I have a pair and I don’t want them it’s a 10.5 wanna buy em off me???

Need a review on that crazy looking cake your friend was making at the end 😂
I'm surprised Crocs has not sued the both of them! 😆
I’m buying me and my wife a pair of these shoes and the main reason is $120 versus having to pay $350 for Yeezys. I’m not with hitting people over the head for some sneakers if anything make them affordable in order to sell them. What Kanye needs to do is make his own brand “ YEEZY “ and not be affiliated with no brand except his own that’s how you do it. At the end of the day the name “ ADIDAS “ supersedes everything and unless they approve the design the shoe isn’t gonna move, so Kanye should take his creative designs and start his own brand “ PERIOD “ adidas been around before he was born so their name is established already.
be ready next week. size ?
I don't know, I couldn't care less about Kanye and his feud with the company that basically does all the work for him. People loose their mind over glorified Crocs because of the price tag, pretending that everything Yeezy is top notch is crazy.
Ok Darren
Ok McDarren
I like the look of the AdiFom Q, just wish it looked less bulky. I'd probably get a pair if it had a slimmer profile.
Dude you and your brother have almost the exact same mannerisms and tone, thats so awesome
They're based on the Adidas Quake which came out decades ago but are made of foam. They're significantly different from the Yeezy foam runner and Ye (or whatever he wants to call himself this week) knows it or he would have sued by now.
He doesn't have a leg to stand on legally and seems to be claiming that any shoe made of foam is a copy of his shoes like the slide which is itself a copy of a traditional Japanese sandal but made of foam.
It's pretty sad really, his ego always catches up with him. Perhaps when he's left Adidas he can sell his shoes in rubble sacks like his gap hoodies and that will make him happy for a while?
👏
100% agree!
The brand has to move with the times these adifoms are straight gasssss🔥🔥🔥
Exactly bruh if they didn’t get Ye’s inspiration they’d be caught behind in the past like Jordan Brand
Hope you do a proper review of materials, toe area, sizing etc
I need help. So I’m gonna get some Jordan 1 highs. What would be a better everyday wear, court purples (wmns ones) or the Bordeaux’s?
Womens court purples better for aging and leather too
@@oyedotuno9014 thanks. They would probably also go better with more things right?
i think adifom q looks more like the 2001 adidas quake than the foam runners. the shape and angle of the holes and even the lines sweeping upwards from the heel section. I dont think that just because it is foam it has to be a foam runner knock off.
Thats typical Adidas. Their packaging is always shit. But for random shoes they will put out the best ones you‘ve seen.
Absolute facts. Adidas needs to do better with packaging and story telling.
I just got these at champs in the US for $120 and I love em
Adidas was a global brand long before Kanye walked the earth.
I’m all in on this shoe
I'm with Adidas. Kanye not giving us affordable Yeezys or Balenciaga stuff anyway
He should just relax and keep making billions, with Adidas.
I agree his Yeezy collab with Adidas literally brought this man out of debt and made him a billionaire. I wouldn't care at all just keep making racks.
foam runners are cheaper than these
I never liked the foam runners so these look just as ugly to me but I will say they look better then Yeezys imo
The adifoamQ is based on the quest which dropped wayyyyyy before Kanye
Its basically an evolved better foam runner. But i don't see much wrong. As you already say, foam shoes are everywhere.
I must admit that Kanye has a point in the sense that he pioneered a couple of things, or at least brought certain concepts to the attention of regular consumers. Like I don't know if the concept of foam runners was his, but Yeezy Foam Runners inspired a whole wave of fully foam based sneaker prototypes by random people on the internet.
But going deeper, I have to disagree with Kanye. He wanted Yeezy to be worn by everybody, but go and try get them Yeezies as an average "everybody". Yeezies never were part of general release, I had to subscribe to a notification programme that tells me when the next Yeezies are gonna drop, and then they cost twice as much as what a good textile shoe needs to cost. Plus, as much as I like the whacky designs ... they are whacky. Most of Ye's deigns don't look like something an average "everybody" would wear, and that's why the overall reaction to the foam runners was negative.
Adidas takes inspiration from Ye's designs, polishes them visually to be more agreeable with the general public and lowers the price. I got me a pair of Ozweegos and a pair of Ozelias (both of which are definitely "inspired" by Yeezy 500) for less than 90$ each. That's s much more reasonable price and much easier to get. No timed drops, no 200$ a pair. More colorways available at one time.
Maybe Adidas did him dirty, but Ye can't stay grounded while chasing the blue skies.
Crazye never pioneered shit, it's a scam. The guy who made his musical career solely based on sampling (his most famous songs all use super famous hooks and melodies from original hits by someone else) is complaining about the same exact thing when someone else does it. Par for the course for Crazye. Besides, has Kanye really designed anything himself? Remember when he came up with that design for an aeroplane that turned out to be stolen from someone else? Have you guys seen the clips where he "designs" things? He gets actual designers to come up with whatever, then he tells them, do more of this less of that. And then he sells it as his design. I mean, come on. Crazye has never done something himself from a to z. He steals, he hires people then he pretends it's all his ideas from the start.
@@maxmeier532 I see you're more knowledgeable on Kanye that I am, so I'll trust you on the music part. Hip Hop and Rap aren't for me and Kanye's music either, so I don't really have an opinion on that part. I only know that during the height of the pandemic he received 2 Million dollars from the Federal Pandemic Loan program while other real small business struggled to access that money.
But to quote a good reply I found on Quora:
“Kanye is an amazing curator of talent. The Yeezy Design team has many great thinkers and product people such as: Virgil Abloh, Demna Gvasalia, Elon Rutberg, Joe Perez, etc. Different people have different roles.
It's all about vibes. If Kanye wants the collection as a whole to have a certain mood and aesthetic, it can be conveyed to the Yeezy Design team in a variety of mediums.
Same as product development for anything else. No one man is behind the full design of anything.
Kanye is the only person in the industry who can consistently sell out 40,000 shoes in 2 minutes."
Like, sure he's not a "designer". Perhaps even the designers on his team aren't, hence the fuck up with a "stolen" design. But it's because of Kanye that Yeezies exist and because of Kanye that Adidas had their mad success with Yeezies. I'd say there's more Kanye in Yeezies than Jordan in AJs. Adidas owes him these facts.
But as I've said, I still think that Kanye doesn't understand that his artsy ideas need other designers' skills to even come to life, and Adidas actually makes what Kanye wasn't be able to do by himself. Make Yeezy(-like) shoes accessible to everyone. Because his ideas are whack and he's out of touch with reality of regular mortals who work 9-10 hours a day and have to pay bills.
Kanye isn't in charge of the prices. That's part of the reason he wants to break away from adidas and Gap. He wants to be able to set his own prices and he also wants to be in charge of how they're marketed and distributed to the masses. Currently he has 0 control over this. Don't blame ye. Blame Adidas
elliot is hell bent on spreading the idea that yeezy is splitting from adidas lmfao
Cause it’s Drama & will get clicks 🤷🏽♂️
Bruhhh he said it!?😂
@@elliotpage_ Facts. He did. But I don't think contracts work that way. Especially ones with billions on the line. Just sayin' lol
Kanye is WILDING, think about how he was working off of the technology adidas provided him with, as a soccer player I gotta say the removable lining was something they were testing since like 08 with their f50 cleats, how do you think the foam provided with the shoes came about? Kanye is clearly a scientist and already had that incorporated on his ideas for sneakers? Chunky sneakers have ALWAYS been a fad, Kanye just helped revolutionize it. Kanye is relevant af to the industry and he definitely changed it but even his ideas aren’t 100% original.
What is the deal with the deal itself? Does it set up a separate company from Adidas like Nike and the Jordan Brand or is is it an endorsement deal? Because I was skimming through Adidas' financials and it doesn't say much about Yeezy just that they've collaborated with Kanye, Pharell and Beyonce to move it's products.
A shoe that SPEAKS controversy 🗣
💯
Adidas had a shoe in 1993 called “Equipments” with the interchangeable sock liner and that’s all these are with a foam twist.
Facts, these people have no clue. The shoe is also modeled after the adidas quake shoe from 2001 this is just a foam version.
I drew shoes like those when I was in middle school, I might have the actual drawing in my mom's house still. It was inspired by the Batman movie where the car had the glowing gills
*its funny how Kanye actually thinks these companies care about his opinion, rather than just using his name to push the brand....*
I say good riddance. Adidas need to severe ties with that egomaniac, and reinvent themselves / focus on a new direction. The Yeezy train, although still strong, looks to be reaching the end of it's hype. Adidas cannot continue to mortgage their future on the Yeezy brand, neglecting all other facets and developments of their ither divisions.
It's time for Adidas to refocus and retool for the future.
Nobody was buying adidas for years except soccer moms for their kids until Ye came along. Sure people might buy some Stan Smiths or Superstars, but the hype behind their new releases were practically nil. Yeezy change all that.
@@johnrambo3831 and how long do you think they can ride Yeezy's coat-tail for? Given how friggin' temperamental Kanye is you think it is a wise business decision to mortgage your brand's future on someone as crazy as Ye? Sooner or later Adidas will have to move on from Kanye. Might as well be now.
I want these! My hesitation is knowing a black color is coming 😂.
The opinions you got in the video seems more of them being fans of Kanye so you can't take those at face value
Saw these sitting at my local champs but not supporting the idea of copying so I’m sticking the the OG foam runners
Yeezy and Adidas legit stole their 350 look from the Nike Roshe lmao
Which state
@@ezmoney6917 loved that shoe…still have some pairs
@@dcrdcr8061 TX 🤘🏽
But the 350 was a "copy" of the Roshe and Ye cut his teeth sampling beats. Copying is in the culture. Good artists create. Great artists steal. No idea original.
Adidas addressed the Foam Runner comparison before that TikTok vid (I believe) and showed how the AdiFom was inspired by the Adidas Quake
basing it off an adidas model doesn’t change the fact that the shoe was made cause of the foam runner
@@TwntyUp by that same reasoning, wasnt the foam runner made bc of the croc then? I dont doubt adidas was inspired by the foam runner, but for kanye to say they “stole” his design is a bit of a stretch imo
@@206trox yes the foam rnr is a croc tie in, same as the 350 to the roshe, I never said kanye was innocent but adidas acting like this shoe was coming without the foam rnr existing is def a lie
So one one hand I agree we should stand with the creator. HOWEVER If Adidas/Yeezy doesn't mass produce enough foams/slide for everyone then why not have a "different" version that is available at mass for everyone to buy. Don't get me wrong I think Adidas stole Ye's designs but I do love the idea of the sock knit in a foam runner. Personally i'd probably buy these and just resell foams/slides to pay for these.
Thats part of the outrage, adidas has been making excuses to Ye about not being able to mass produce the foam runners like he wants to, then they turn around and make a new shoe with a similar manufacturing process that is all of a sudden immune to the supply chain issues they have been feeding kanye
Terrible taste a foam runner with a sock in it ? Sound ugly as hell but go off
I’ll be gutted if yeezy and adidas part ways but I still want me a pair of adifoams they look 🔥🔥
It is sad that’s it gotta be like this tbf, i think they’ve done dope stuff together
Design looks better than foam runners , a black pair will go crazy
I have both - not comparable from my point of view.
Foam runners are foam runners, an own category. And I do love them. The adiFOM Q is a shoe. A real good one 👍
Btw - did Kanye see any Clogs in his life before adding his ideas to… adidas?
Or even the adidas Quake (2001) ?
Seems like Kanye has not been born into a vast “White Noise” 😬
Great review. Those are both the ugliest kicks I ever saw . It’s like they were going for hideous and people loved it .
couldn't agree more lol
They just look like crocs but a different take. Im surprised how these shoes are making a comeback lol
I own 3 pair of Foam Runners and now (after today's delivery) I own 2 pair of the AdiFOM Qs. Wearing both are different experiences.
Foam Runners are comfortable, but they're just a molded design.
AdiFom Q's are way more comfortable and feel like a more substantial, well engineered shoe. I see the slight similarity, but these are just straight up different shoes.
I love my Foam Runners, but AdIFOM Q's are definitely a "Level Up".
How’s the sizing compared to the foam rnnrs?
I’m sorry to say but the background music wasn’t the best today it kinda annoyed me but I still love the videos and keep the grind
waited for this video! love you elliot!
❤️🔥❤️🔥
@@elliotpage_ love you fam
adifoms are better imo, these dont have that weird bump in toebox area, i know these are heavilly inspired by foam runner but i dont care
Regardless if people think this is a rip, inspo, or it's own thing. Ye is tripping hard. Slides have been around before him. Foam shoes have been here before him. Anyone else could have made something similar and get a pass. Ye won't let Adidas though because he wants to own them. Foam RNNR did not start the foam shoe craze. Crocs did lol Foam RNNRs just benefited from it and the athleisure wave cause nobody liked them initially. Ye was complaining about Adidas poaching their designers, but nah. Designers don't make a living off of loyalty. It's a business. Adidas offered some YZY designers better jobs working for them and they took it. Ye is just upset that his inflated ego can't make Adidas bend over for him.
Both those designs actually come from and resemble Nike Air penny foamposites but those adidas are dope AF
Like 1 or 2 days ago Adidas removed these off their website
Oh really? Were they up in the US?
@@elliotpage_ yea when you search for it there is a link to the Adidas page where they are but when it takes you there they aren't on the website. Might still be up in the UK tho and other countries
I'm pretty sure they just sold out. Typical botters and resellers thinking they could flip. You could be right though.
I can’t wait till these Adidas adifom q come out they a must cop👍🔥🔥
the adifoams look somewhere between 600 and 800% better than the yeezy runners. The whole industry is making foam shoes, obviously adidas is going to make their take on 'em, and they've added plenty of differentiations to the point where i wouldn't say they copied the yeezy's.
I feel like this is way over blown
I don't agree.
Foam runner design is way better than adifoamQ to me.
The laces look waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off, it's just plain ugly af. Doesn't fit the look at all imho.
FomQ is adidas version the foam runner which is Yeezys version of Crocs. I was never feeling the foam runners but I like FomQ.
Wait until he find out the ZX22 boost looks like the 700
Adidas clearly stole Kanye’s design, it’s a big difference between being inspired vs. flat out stealing smh! This is making me lose respect for Adidas!
Roshe Runs has entered the chat
@@3d1k3 real entered the chat.
@@kevchino good one
all of the stolen designs look better in Adidas' version. FOMQ is way nicer than the foam runners, and their new slides are way cooler than the yeezy slide
Hopefully they can make new shoes in much bigger quantities now so all the resellers need to find a new job
if adidas is giving me a descent product for $120.00 and Kanye is giving me a pair of glorified crocs for $300.00 I'm going with adidas. Taking advantage of the culture is charging $300.00 for a pair of glorified crocs.
