Drake is reportedly planning to leave Jordan Brand to work with Adidas.According to Sole Collector, the 'God's Plan' hitmaker is unhappy with his partnership with Jordan Brand and is currently looking for an exit in favour of a new deal that would offer him "more creative control".The Canadian rapper first partnered with Jordan in 2013 and has since released
Nike Air Max 90 Mens a number of collaborations with his
Nike Air Max 95 Mujer OVO brand, including apparel and OVO x Air Jordan trainers.He even rapped about the brand in 2015 in
Nike Air Presto Femme his high-energy Future collaboration, 'Jumpman', which included the lyrics "they gave me my own collection."However, multiple footwear industry sources, including Nice Kicks‘ creative director Nick DePaula, have reported that Drake is negotiating a departure.If the rumours are true, Drake would be joining the likes of fellow musical influencers Kanye West and Pharrell Williams, both of whom have "enjoyed design freedom greater than that usually offered in these types of deals".Interestingly, during the NBA All-Star weekend, Drizzy recently unveiled a new collaboration with the Nike-owned brand in the form of his OVO x Air Jordan 8.The rapper also gave away pairs of Jordans trainers in his music video for ‘God’s Plan’ and wore Nike apparel throughout.
The brand also featured
Nike Air Presto Mujer heavily in the video for BlocBoy JB’s ‘Look Alive’,
Nike Roshe Run Womens in which Drake appears.Neither Drake nor Adidas have confirmed
Asics Gel Lyte 3 Femme that negotiation is underway.Kanye West told everyone yesterday that Kanye West is the highest paid person in the sneaker industry right now, even above Michael Jordan. And the only person that believes that is Kanye West.His exact words went as such: “I am currently the single highest paid person in footwear. That means I make more money on shoes than Michael Jordan.”There’s no way to prove or disprove this claim. Adidas has never released any sales information on any of Kanye West’s Yeezy sneakers or apparel and has never disclosed how much they’re paying the man.The only numbers that we have to go by are the ones provided by Kanye West
Nike Air Max 90 Femme Noir himself. And although Kanye is many things and wears many hats, I highly doubt
Nike Air Max 270 Womens that he’s the person running business analytics and
www.daviddenardi.fr tracking units sold and revenue grossed for each of his
Nike Roshe Run Femme sneaker releases.Here’s what we do know.In December 2013 when Kanye left Nike for Adidas, he was reportedly paid $10 million to join the brand.
In February 2015, Adidas released its first Yeezy sneaker, the high-top 750 Boost, and reportedly only sold 9,000 pairs of the shoe at first.Since then, there have been multiple Yeezy shoes and releases. There’s been the Adidas Yeezy Boost 350, Yeezy Boost 350 v2, Adidas Powerphase Calabasas, Yeezy 700 Wave Runner, and, most recently, the Yeezy 500 Mud Rat.Production numbers on these pairs has greatly varied. Some have been more limited than others. Some have been more expensive than others. Yeezy is now its own subsection of Adidas and is
Nike Air Presto Womens operating independently to an extent, even
Nike Air Force 1 Womens releasing its own footwear under the Yeezy brand
Adidas Superstar Femme with no connection to Adidas.Kanye threw some numbers
Adidas Superstar Womens out there on Yeezy sales yesterday, too.Here's what he had to say: "The Yeezy 350s sell 400 thousand pair in four hours. Only thing close to this is the iPhone.”With resellers and online-only releases, it’s easy to move a ton of pairs of a hyped sneaker in a short amount of time, so this could be true, at least from a numbers standpoint.
