Outlines
👟 アディダスとイージーの新作リリース問題
アディダスが明日からイージーの新作を大量に発売する予定であるが、イェイ(カニエ・ウェスト)はこれらが偽物だと主張している。アディダスは「350 V2 スチールグリット」をはじめとする複数のイージーモデルを発売予定で、これらは従来の方法であるアプリを通じた抽選販売で提供される。しかし、アディダスが以前発表したコストプライスでの販売という声明とは異なり、フルリテール価格での販売が予定されている。さらに、イェイはこれらのカラーウェイには関与しておらず、アディダスから報酬を受け取っていないと主張している。この問題は、アディダスが未承認のカラーウェイをリリースし、イェイを訴える一方で彼に報酬を支払わないという複雑な状況を示している。
📣 イージー製品の販売に関する論争が深まる
アディダスによるイージー製品の新しいカラーウェイ、特に「350 スチールグレイ」のリリースは、イェイが設計に関与していないという彼の主張によって論争を引き起こしている。イェイは自身がデザインに関与していない製品の販売から収益を得ていないと述べ、アディダスがこれらの製品を販売することに強く反対している。アディダスが契約終了後もイージー製品を販売し続けることによる著作権や契約上の問題、そしてイェイに対する支払いの不透明性が、消費者やイージーファンの間で分断を生んでいる。一部のファンはアディダスへのボイコットを呼びかけており、この問題はアディダスのイメージに悪影響を及ぼしている。
🔄 イージー製品販売戦略の将来性と消費者の選択
イェイとアディダス間の論争は、契約終了後の製品販売とイェイへの未払い問題に焦点を当てている。アディダスがイージーデザインの販売を続けることで、イェイのクリエイティブな貢献と彼に対する報酬支払いに関する疑問が浮上している。この状況は、大企業が個人を利用する場合の倫理的な問題を浮き彫りにし、消費者に製品の購入を検討する際の道徳的な選択を迫っている。イェイとアディダスの間で公開された情報は限られており、今後の発展や双方の主張に関する詳細が待たれる状況である。

guys Adidas is just about to sell a ton
of Yeezys however yay says they're all
fake I'm going to give you guys
everything you need to know about this
upcoming Adidas and Yeezy release which
is happening tomorrow at least starting
tomorrow there's supposed to be a ton
more than what we've just seen just over
a week ago during a sneaky Sunday's
episode I told you guys that Yeezys were
going to be dropping again in March F
forward to two days ago and Adidas
actually announced their first of many
Yeezys to come so it started off with
this product page over here it just has
an announcement press release the first
one is this pair of 350s over here it's
called a 350 V2 steel grit so this one
is available to enter through a raffle
on the Adidas confirmed app which is
basically the traditional way that
Adidas has been releasing Yeezys since
the whole thing collapsed in 2022 now
one thing that people were questioning
is that they loaded up for full retail
price which isn't really a surprise but
based off of what Adidas said when they
first announced that they were going to
be releasing more Yeezys in 201 24 was
that they said that they're going to be
selling these Yeezys at cost which
everybody assumed because they said it's
at Cost there would be some kind of
discount applied that Adidas wasn't
going to be making profit on the Yeezys
that they sell but clearly that is not
the case in the background over here you
have a couple other Silhouettes that are
all blacked out there's a 350 there's a
foam Runner a pair of slides and also a
pair of 500s you can also see that some
other regions have different shoes
loaded up on their respective apps so
this country over here which I believe
is Australia based on the $330 retail
price this is the easy 500 Stone taupe
which we did speak about one thing to
kind of mention over here which I
thought was noteworthy it says no
returns no refunds or exchanges
basically everywhere outside of the EU
if you do enter for any of these Yeezy
Raffles that are happening right now
you're not going to be able to return
these products over in Hong Kong they've
got way more Yeezys available so if you
check out this is the Adidas official
website in Hong Kong they've got a ton
they've got a lot of kids and toddler
sizes of Yeezy foam Runners and slides
the azer Yeezy Slide the bone white 500s
couple 350s restocking the bone Yeezy
slide got more 500s some more 350s like
the Onyx one of the wildest ones the
zebras these are all available right now
out in Hong Kong are these shoes going
to be dropping everywhere else it is
quite possible however like I said with
the shoes that I spoke about a couple
weeks ago those were the only ones that
I knew of which again all those shoes
that I was speaking about that all came
from Adidas these are all the shoes that
I spoke about these were the only shoes
that had information I said that there
could be more but we do have release
dates according to Adidas based on all
of these and we didn't have a release
date for the sand Boot and that wasn't
on the release list that I had um so I'm
not entirely sure if these are going to
be dropping this month however we do
have a bunch of official images so they
are apparently supposed to release but
something happened a couple days ago
that pretty much just destroyed this
entire Yeezy release yay speaking out on
all of it so yay posted an image of the
350 steel gray and basically had all of
this to say anybody who loves yay would
not buy these fake Yeezys I never made
these colorways I'm not getting paid off
of them and Adidas is suing me he also
said that all the new non-approved 350s
are corny and everybody know that the
350 bin corny shortly after that he
released a video going over all of this
in a little bit more detail let me
explain really clear to you guys what's
happening with with Adidas it's not only
are they putting out fake colorways that
are non-approved they're suing me for
$250
million
and they're also not paying me for these
shoes that they're putting out that have
my name on it and they're using contract
Clauses and 50 years of business
experience when the whole collaboration
ended and we know that Adidas had a lot
of these products still sat in their
warehouse they decided to sell them off
and I think everybody was generally
pretty happy about it they were like we
can get all of these Yeezy products
before this collaboration turns to dust
yay even said that all of the ones that
Adidas were going to sell are completely
fine even though the contract had ended
he was still going to be getting some
Kickback from these Yeezys or at least
that's what a lot of us were under the
impression of I know the people at
Adidas are not going to have the best
Thanksgiving but if any way I could
indemnify what they've done even though
they they took that IP they hired l to
sign it over I I promise everyone out
there those designs they still good by
me those designs still good by me I know
y'all saying we not going to buy them
unless sh got them if y'all want those
designs they still good by me I can
guarantee you one thing so I'm telling
you this Christmas this Thanksgiving
whatever Adidas wants to drop and you
know that that was a design that we put
in those are good by me and hopefully
this can like heal this can this can
heal some of the bleed however now he's
saying he's not getting paid so it is a
little bit confusing because we're not
entirely sure if it's just now that
they've stopped paying him or if they
never paid him but we do know that a lot
of the Yeezys that Adidas has been
releasing most of them have been
restocks of older colorways that were
being produced while yay was still with
Adidas however not all of them were
restocks and some of them were newer
ones and that includes this steel gray
colway of the 350 which yay has been
making the highlight of all of these
comments he even sent a DM to I shal
post yay on Instagram saying I never
made that Yeezy colorway heos are
selling my Styles and not paying me and
they are trying to sue me for a
marketing fund they agreed upon so
clearly yay had nothing to do with this
gray colorway of the 350 what I also
found pretty interesting that gray
colorway of the 350 is not the only one
that I don't think yay had anything to
do with we'll get into that in a minute
fact that Adidas is trying to sell
Yeezys without paying yay I think is
pretty insane like I completely
understand one thing if they decided to
end the contract but if you were so dead
set on ending the agreement I don't
think they should continue selling them
and if they still decide to sell them
then I think the man whose name is
literally on these shoes and who helped
create the designs should be getting
paid for what he created regardless of
the way that the contract ended this is
really a story about a massive
Corporation going against an independent
designer however this has led to aot lot
of people having two very different
opinions on this there has been a lot of
people basically deciding to boycott
Adidas entirely we got a post over here
by the head of Yeezy marketing yes jwes
on I believe this is Twitter saying that
the Adidas boycott Starts Now by the way
while there's a lot of people that agree
with that message and are not going to
be supporting these Yeezy releases and
not buying them there are people on the
other side who were kind of like well I
really like these shoes I kind of want
to buy them you know yay originally
designed them so so it's a little bit
disappointing when it goes down like
this and you kind of have to choose a
side honestly I think it is really just
down to a decision that people have to
make do they want to support Adidas or
are they going to decide to boycott
Adidas and basically agreed that Adidas
is doing something morally wrong here so
after all of this went down yay said
what he had to say uh what did Adidas
respond with well they didn't respond
with anything publicly which I think was
probably a smart move apparently they
heard the message loud and clear
internally this was a very interesting
thing I found on Reddit an internal
document meant for Adidas employees
basically giving employees information
on how they should deal with anybody
coming into their stores and asking
about these Yeezy products they've got
three points over here saying that
Adidas is the sole owner of the product
including the design rights for existing
products as well as previous colorways
under the partnership the products are
existing Yeezy designs initiated in 2022
Adidas honored contractual obligations
and disc discussed releasing products
prior to the announcement with the
former partner however that is not
entirely true because one of the Yeezy
sneakers that are going to be dropping
is the Yeezy 500 Stone taupe this
colorway over here it's a basically an
all over white pair with the gum out
soole you can see that the production
date on this sneaker says
0223 they produced this pair in 20123
after Adidas and Yeezy was cancelled cuz
if this one was produced in 2023 then
obviously he wasn't part of the brand
since October 2022 there's a lot of
potential that he had nothing to do with
this pair as well this is also a picture
that a lot of people have hosting around
uh both on Reddit and of course on
Instagram as well it basically shows all
of the bigger Brands how they've been
growing in 2022 and 2023 the one brand
that really took a hit in that year was
Adidas and this is largely because of
Yeezy and we know financially Adidas
wouldn't be selling all of these Yeezys
if they didn't have to do it because it
would hurt them now another thing that I
also found was pretty interesting is I
saw this post basically saying that part
of y's contract with Adidas have
resurfaced today according to this
contract Adidas forbid yay from taking a
30-day break to receive any kind of
treatment for mental health they linked
to the full article which was written by
fast company this is the full article
over here no it's an old story it was
written back in 2023 this article didn't
make the headlines that's obviously
because all of the Articles were really
focusing on the stuff that yay was
saying the writer of this article
actually commented on the picture and I
think the ending is pretty significant
regardless of the Public's view on yay
today this Clause was written in a
contract preceding most of the
controversy in that way it's not even a
yay story to me but a snapshot of how a
black Creator could be set up to fail
and lose billions so according to this
article the contract said it had another
termination Clause included by Adidas
that was not typical 30 cons consecutive
days of mental health or substance abuse
treatment in other words if yay spent a
month receiving care for significant
aspects of his health he could be forced
to give up his significant piece of what
was then The Greatest Shoe Empire of the
modern era so there you have it a very
drama filled situation and it's not very
fun I think it's just unfortunate all
around I think anybody who appreciated
Yeezy shoes is a little bit sad by all
of this but what's really going on here
I think is a much bigger thing than just
these Adidas Yeezys in all honesty I
think Adidas does have a pretty bad look
at the moment now look we could get more
details on this we could get some more
clarification uh maybe really figure out
what's going on and why Adidas isn't
paying yay if all of that is true but I
think something we can all agree on is
that in most cases big companies big
corporations we know for a fact they are
bottom line first and for the most part
they do not mind if they screw over
individuals in the process this is all
just alleged a lot of this information
is just kind of rumors leaks and
different things going around but as of
right now it seems like everybody needs
to make a decision that they're going to
be buying these Yeezys or not and I
would love to know down in the comment
section what your opinion is are you
going to be buying them or are you going
to be boycotting them drop your thoughts
down in the comment section on this
entire situation would love to have a
read through I don't know you've been
checking out the shoes that have been
chilling on the couch so why don't you
just go and watch a full review click on
that video over
