Some of y’all probably not old enough to remember when Kanye left Nike, but most of us were waiting on pins and needles for his first Adidas release.
I can’t say I was much a fan of the Nike Yeezy’s (I prefer the 1’s over the 2’s all day), but was expecting big things from the Adidas collab.
The pic on top is the first pic of the Adidas x Yeezy line to ever leak. I’m pretty sure the person took the pic over Ye’s shoulder on an airplane or something and I just...I dunno...I just thought ‘please tell me this is a joke’. I cannot explain the amount of shock, disappointment, and horror I felt when I first saw the grainy pic of the Yeezy 750...I’d like to say I really didn’t care, but that’d be a lie. I seriously felt sick to my stomach.
5 years later, and they no longer horrify me. But I still have zero interest in owning a pair. Maybe the black/gum pair? I probably wouldn’t spend more than $50 or them tho.
Anyway...just saw a pic of the Yeezy 750 prototype (bottom pic) on a @nicekicks tweet asking ‘would you have copped?’ And all of those memories of the first leak came back.
Hell, no. I wouldn’t have copped. And, although I’ve seen a handful of pairs on foot over the years, I don’t know anyone personally who copped. Makes me wonder...
How many of y’all copped the OG 750? How many of y’all were actually amped when you saw that leaked photo? How many of y’all were excited to see the progression for the Nike Yeezy 2 Red October to the Adidas Yeezy 750?
