The fallout from Kanye West’s antisemitic rhetoric continues. After Ye was dropped by Adidas early this morning, more companies are beginning to distance themselves from the Yeezy brand. Foot Locker sent an internal message to its stores today asking for all Yeezy footwear to be removed from sales floors immediately. Stores were instructed to hold all […]

UPDATED 6/13, 10:00 p.m.: Kanye made another Adidas-related Instagram post this evening, sharing a screenshot of a text message that appears to outline the stipulations of his contract with the brand. Highlighted is a clause that notes “There is a limited exception where he can do Yeezy branded casual and lifestyle apparel on his own but not […]

Whether you are still eagerly awaiting a pair of clean Dunk Lows to add to your summer rotation, a sturdy option for the hiking trail, or have an urge to lace up some sneakers inspired by your favorite candy, this week’s release calendar has something for you.

A fan-favorite Air Jordan retro making its return, three-way Nike collab, and oversized Adidas highlight this week’s sneaker release calendar.  The first big release of the week takes place Tuesday morning with the return of the Jeremy Scott x Adidas Forum Wings 1.0 “Money.” The loud option will be followed up on Thursday by the Kerwin Frost x […]

Kanye West’s Adidas-produced Yeezy line is as hot as its ever been, helping his net worth reach nearly $2 million according to Forbes, but that doesn’t mean the competition is entirely off limits.

Colorful Nike SB Dunks, collabs with popular boutiques, and some bright Yeezys highlight this week’s sneaker release calendar.

Some used to laugh at the idea of a rapper being the biggest name in sneakers. They could never outsell NBA superstars or gain the respect of footwear industry stalwarts. Then came Kanye West. It all started in 2009 with the release of his Nike Air Yeezy I, then came a Louis Vuitton collection, the […]

Collaborations reign supreme (no pun intended) this week with new sneakers on the way from notable names like Supreme, Skepta, Odell Beckham Jr., and more.  The week kicks with an exclusive drop of the “Magnet” Adidas Yeezy Boost 700 on Wednesday via Yeezy Supply. On Thursday, the Chinatown Market x Converse collection, Skepta x Nike Shox […]
