Adidas Global Director of Entertainment and Influencer Marketing Jon Wexler recently talked about working on Kanye’s Yeezy Season 1 line.
“We made Season 1 with him and then he’s been doing Season 2 and 3 on his own ever since. So, we were really thrilled with how the apparel performed when we were part of Season 1. When you work with creative people, you don’t want to limit their creativity and I feel like one, it wasn’t our core competency, we’re much more athletic-looking stuff. I wear a lot of that [Yeezy Season] apparel – Kanye has an ability to see the future and will it into being through his messaging and his network – we’d be open to [working with Yeezy Season again].” (“The Breakfast Club”)
A few months ago, rap star French Montana boasted about Kanye’s fashion and sneaker line.
“Shout-out to Kanye. He never shot no video for his own [The Life Of Pablo] album and he came out for me. So I love him for that. Yeah, that’s really dope, man. He’s really great as a big brother. He’s doing really great. He’s in great spirits. He actually has the best clothing line and sneaker line on Earth right now. His music’s incredible. I feel like he’s on top of his game. This thing is called entertainment. Let’s not forget that. So you know, he entertains people. I love that about him. He speaks his mind.” (USA Today)
