Mine has been. I switched to Hoka brand shoes and don’t wear any other adidas apparel. Nike is for china. Under Armour has The Rock as a spokeman. Hard to find a good brand!
Hokas are very popular. They're a smidge tight for me (very, very wide feet). The brief time I had a pair in testing, I was very happy with the support I was getting from my pair. The width being too narrow for me was the only thing I couldn't go for.
Right now Brooks is the only brand with a last that fits short of going bespoke.
What a coincidence, my relationship with Adidas is currently under review.
That happened for me about 35 years ago when I realized other shoes exist that are just as good or better in construction and appearance, but are not overpriced because of having three stripes (!!!) sewn on them.
So the corporate position is “my life doesn’t matter”? I don’t buy from company’s that give me the middle finger. If his shirt would have said “F white people” adidas would be saying “He’s stunning and brave”.
What they don't tell you is that Kanye put Adidas on notice months ago when they refused to bring shoe manufacturing for his yeezy brand to America/Greater Chicago. Last I read he was actively figuring out how to sever the tie and start his own factory.
FOUND THIS IN Wikipedia about Nike founder Adi Dassler:
"...Adi himself had to appear before the denazification panel. The result was announced on 13 July 1946: Adi was declared a Belasteter, the second most serious category of Nazi offenders, which included profiteers, and subjected the convict up to 10 years in prison."
"...but the immediate threat was that he would be removed from management of the firm. His early membership in the Nazi Party and the Hitler Youth were not contestable."
Pretty sure Kanye West doesn't give a fuck at this point. He's not on our side, nor their side, but only his own side. He's neither an ally nor an enemy. Can't fault a guy for choosing his own path and staying on it. Of course we'll see if he caves.
EDIT: see comment further down after I’ve seen the whole interview.
Finally sat through the entire video. He sounds pretty straightforward, what some call “based”. He certainly talks like an ally, and recent actions portray him as walking the walk as well. My original comment above is proven to be a poor assessment, and serve to show that we all can’t be on top of everything. Downvotes probably justified.
Fuck adidas. Fun fact; Adi has a brother named Rudolph. He was going to name his shoe company Rudas. He ended up deciding that Pumas sounded better than Rudas.
I have neuropathy from back surgery. I work 12 hour shifts on my feet as an RN. I will stand by the Hoka brand for their cushioning. But to each their own. Hoka may be a big business corporation that will tow the big box business in the future, but they make an excellent sole for their shoe right now, and don’t appear to be woke?

Hokas are going to be my next pair of running shoes. I've been running in brooks for several years now, but I want to give hokas a try and compare.

You read my mind.

👍😉
It's ok to be white
Tanning salons be damned
No, really the UV is ultra dangerous

This is correct. He hasn’t been able to wear his Yeezy brand or Addidas for nearly a month.
Adidas liked white people just fine when they were doing business with the USSR.
This is going to be great. All these companies that go against him due to this will Implode. Hahahaha.
Adidas can FO. may their wokeness flush them right down the tube.
White people be bad - says Adidas.
His response: ""FUUUUUUCK ADIDAS, I AM ADIDAS. ADIDAS RAPED AND STOLE MY DESIGNS."
Irony x 3
Company founded by white German Adolf "Adi" Dassler
frowns on black man
for saying the lives of white people
like Adidas founder Adi Dassler
matter.
That actually happened.
You can't make this shit up.

So, what do you think about this??

Have a listen to him talking to Tucker... https://youtu.be/YTCJHxv4jMA

Thanks for the link - it is a great interview.
👍👌😉
sweet thanks
He really has become a force from just starting as a standard (albeit great) rapper/artist.

LOL, Adolf and Rudolph. (Not Rudolf?)
Imaginative
Did not know Puma and Adidas were started by brothers! Thanks
Could be rudolf actually.
stupid move, he'll just get the yeezy slides made by someone else
This is more because of him calling out a guy at Adidas in the interview with Tuck the cuck. lol He called him Adidas BLM officer.
gee.... where can we find some other company that makes sneakers??
So, Adidas confirms that my life doesn't matter? And my money along with it?
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I wouldn’t wear that rubbish if I was freezing in the Arctic.
The Slavs says their relationship with adidas is under review..
Perhaps Kanye should put Adidas under review!
Adidos Amigos! 😆
Not just white people but everybody, you buy adidas you are cutting your own family’s throat.
Well, I guess I can buy ASICS.
Adidas was my favorite since the came out with runningvshoes in the 70s
You should check out Hoka. I’ll never wear anything else now.
They're all the same, just in different ways
:)
