They're coming. Soon
Brace yourselves—and your wallets—because Kanye West‘s
first pair of Adidas Yeezys are coming in November. [Cue the
chest-banging intro of "I Am a God."] At a show last night in Australia
on the never-ending Yeezus tour, Ye casually mentioned the release month
of his first shoe for Adidas during the middle of his “Runaway” monologue. JK, it wasn’t casual—nothing about Kanye West is casual.
While he had originally said the shoes would be coming in June,
last night Ye told the crowd, “Now I feel good because we’ve been
working hard and we got the new Yeezys 3 coming in November and this is
just the beginning. This is something that I want to create and do for
the rest of my life.” We’d like that, too, Kanye—please do it for the
rest of your life. Pretty please.
Of course, if Ye had his way, he’d already be written into textbooks.
“Now there’s only two times in history: Before Yeezus and after,” he
added. “Every now and then in life you’ve got to turn up just to let
people know that you ain’t playing with them and that they can’t play
with you. Now it’s time to create, which is my dream and why god put me
on this earth.”
Kanye also gave us what we really wanted to hear which is
that this Adidas collaboration will be different from Nike one, in the
sense that we might actually have a chance at owning a pair of the new
Yeezys for less than $16 million. (Yes, you read
that right.) “It might have looked a little bit wild when I was talking
and turning up but the only thing that matters is that this time next
year, when I say, ‘Do y’all want Yeezys?’ You say you was able to at
least try on a pair, at least cop a pair—that they was in your hands and
you weren’t being held back by some company that will give any athlete
500 billion dollars but if you take somebody that actually is part of
this and sent to the office in fourth grade for drawing sneakers and
went to art school and decided to do music. They talk to you like it
didn’t happen, like it wasn’t important.”
Anyone wanna start saving up with me so we can at least, like, try to buy a communal pair?
