According to new reports, Mr. West’s full-fledged post-Nike release may not arrive until sometime in 2015.

One of the most interesting parts of his talk is the one where he mentions that the upcoming Kanye West x adidas collection will release in June. Internal sources have told us now, that in June West will be presenting internally his collection. That means that they are currently working on design and are planning to be finished in June, with the official release actually only planned for Spring 2015. Potentially there will be a first sneaker coming in Fall/Winter 2014, but even that is not confirmed yet. The full collection release is for now realistically planned for January/February 2015.

Earlier in the week, media outlets suggested the new kicks were slated to drop this summer and would be called YEEZi.

An initial clip of Kanye hinting at his sneaker release landed online a few days ago.

Kanye West made a huge announcement during his performance at the adidas Global Brand Conference in Germany Monday (April 7).
