Kanye Blasts Adidas Kanye took to social media and blasted Adidas over new sneakers the brand plans to release. In the post, Ye shared a photo of the new Adidas Adilette 22 slides and accused the three-stripe brand of copying designs from his Yeezy shoe line. In the post, directed toward Adidas CEO Kasper Rorsted, Ye said, “I’m not standing for this blatant copying no more. These shoes represent the disrespect that people in power have for the talent.” He then asked Kasper to talk to him about his issue. Do you think the shoes are a ripoff of Ye’s designs?
