Kanye West is leaving Nike to sign with adidas Y-3 to pursue his own personal clothing line as well as sneakers called, “YEEZI.”
“You see me in interviews how I want to do clothes… I want to let you know I signed my deal a week and a half ago.” – Kanye West
Kanye West broke the news during his performance (you can check it out below) which he went on a rant dissing Nike and their relationship. Ye recently spent time with Y-3 lead designer Yohji Yamamoto, at the 2014 Mercedes Benz NYNW show.
