How Kanye West Built Yeezy

Kanye West grabbed the fashion world’s attention when he debuted sneakers designed in collaboration with Nike in 2009. Retailing at over $200, the shoes were released in extremely limited quantities and sold out instantaneously. They now resell in the thousands of dollars. The success of the shoes finally put West on the map in the fashion industry. For years his designs were met with ridicule. But recently, some of that excitement has turned to skepticism. Certain Yeezy models cost a lot less on the resale market than they used to. And resale prices are a tell-tale sign of a product’s clout, especially for Hypebeasts.

How Kanye West Built Yeezy

And today in 2021, Yeezy brand is still alive and well. What's more impressive is that by March 2021, West is still owning 100% of his brand, valued at more than 1.5 billion. Around 10% of the whole Adidas brand value !!!

[@good-tn9sr]

Now he’s worth 6.6 billion Edit: Now $11 billion Edit: Down to $4 billion Ye confirms that he lost $2 billion in a day off of net worth. However this was all planned as Ye has been buying factories for manufacturing in California and the midwest all throughout 2021. He has also been trying to get out of adidas for copying his designs like the YZY slides which he owns the copy-write to, and Adidas, as per the contract, was required to build physical YZY stores, however they never honored it, so Ye has been trying to get out of the contract since the beginning of 2022. Furthermore he’s been trying to get out of Gap since signing his contract as they won’t price his line the way he wanted it to be priced. Next he was also trying to get out of J.p. Morgan Chase, as they were charging him extra in fees for the Yeezy brand because he set up his company “incorrectly”. In the end he was able to get out of all these contracts by making himself a liability.

Your off in your analogy. Adidas doesn't sell the shoes for 1000+, they don't make the crazy premiums, they sell the shoe now for about what it cost when they came out.

I feel like people are missing the point. Jordan brand is decades in the game while Yeezy is relatively new, especially when only considering the Adidas models. Kanye is trying to ultimately grow the brand to a point where it is both wanted and yet attainable. The "Yeezys are dead" tweets may be true for internet hypebeasts that only care about rarity, but there's still plenty of people that would like them but rarely even see them, especially when you're outside of the biggest metro areas. He's still selling out even the biggest drops whether it takes longer than usual or not, whereas Jordan brand releases retro models all the time that end up on sale racks without anyone calling Jordans dead. I foresee a point where Yeezy will have some flagship models that sell at scale without a resale market, while still having limited models and colorways that resale for multiple times their MSRP.

[@Lukyan]

One of those #yeezysaredead tweets was satire from chegg. Nobody truly believes they're dead. Just new kids and stockx manipulating the market further downwards.

[@lollife5570]

2021: Yeezys are not dead.

[@FYPNLP]

Yeezy's are not dead in 2022. I happily own and wear 4 different pairs 350s and a pair of slides. Glad Kanye didn't feed into the Hypebeast nonsense.

We made a million a minute yeah we did! -Kanye west

7:24 once again Kanye thwarts the experts. As of last year a UBS valuation estimated YEEZY accounted for 3-4 BIL of Yes net worth; with private banks estimating 4-5 billion.

The superstar is my favorite shoe of all time I'll have to look into yeezys

If ur going to make a video on something you don't understand than u should do enough research u are considered an expert not just restating what experts on the subject have to say

[@seamusg05]

I just want them cause they look good, idgaf about price or scarcity or who’s got them and doesn’t. They just look sick and I want some

Thanks Kanye ! Got my zebras for $295 On stock x Litterally my favorite shoes and Ik resellers would’ve never sold it for that much dam rats! I would’ve never thought of owning them but he made his promise of more people getting their hands on them who cares about the wow factor it’s a nice comfy shoe that’s what’s important at the end of the day we’re all human even if you have a rare shoe you still don’t have a rare car or anything you get the point so what’s the point of wow factor this goes to everything else rare shoes but regular pants what’s the point of rare srry just a high thought
