Kanye West Calls Out Adidas Over ‘Fake’ Yeezy 350s

Kanye West has criticized Adidas for selling what he calls “fake” Yeezy 350s.

In an Instagram video, he accused Adidas of not only releasing unauthorized colorways of his shoes but also suing him for $250 million and not paying him for shoes bearing his name.

Kanye claims Adidas is using its legal power to exploit artists like himself. He urged his fans not to buy these unauthorized Yeezys. This isn’t the first time Kanye has clashed with Adidas over their partnership.

In the past, he accused them of stealing his designs. While Adidas made significant profits from Yeezy sales, they terminated their partnership with Kanye in 2022 following controversies surrounding his behavior.
