When Nike Air Yeezy Ruled The Game: What Happened?
Kanye West was the first non athlete ever to have a signature shoe with Nike. The sneakers that Kanye and Nike produced have become some of the most sought after sneakers of all time. When the Air Yeezy 1 and Air Yeezy 2 released there were people camped out for weeks in advance just to secure a pair. Today these shoes resell for tens of thousands of dollars on Stock X. In this video we go a little deeper in the history of the Air Yeezys and why Kanye ended up leaving Nike for Adidas.

Daisuke Young That’s not true. A few years ago, we saw the release of Kevin Hart’s signature training shoe. You can also consider most of the Fear of God collaborations as “signature” models for Jerry Lorenzo. Outside of the realm original designed signatures, we do see the Travis Scott and Virgil Abloh’s that give those designers huge amounts of freedom to alter and customize existing Nike silhouettes.

Maybe not. You can't really sustain a proper business on hype. All the resell money doesn't go to the actual company. More air monarchs have been sold than all the yeezys combined. Yeezy are released in limited numbers, even when they are supposed to be GR. So while you could view it as a bug mistake, it really isn't in terms of profit. Since they technically don't sell a lot of shoes (maybe like 2 million pairs of yeezys, since hype needs to be maintained and not have them sit on the shelves) thats nowhere near as much as Nike sell of their other products every year.

As someone who got into sneakers in a post Red October, Post 350 boost world it's impossible for me to not give Kanye praise. People say Nike is doing Travis like they should have done Ye, but Travis ain't got his own shoe yet. He's only doing collabs.
