So dear community, we just arrived to the last part of the Kanye West storyline. Wait, you didn't read part 2? Or even worse, you slept through the first part completely? Just click here on 'Part 1 please' or 'Ready for Part 2'. So as you all know, Kanye West is still producing the Yeezy under the wings of adidas. The hype about the Yeezys still exists, but it's not like in the past! Why? Mr. West mentioned in an interview that he took the adidas deal because of his daughter. His goal still hasn't changed and he wants to make the Yeezy available for everyone!
In one of his earlier interviews Kanye mentioned that many kidz have been robbed or even killed for the Air Jordan. Mr. West doesn't want that, he wants the 'Yeezy silhouette' to be available to everyone without barriers or problems. So don't wonder why the 'Yeezy' appears more often now. It was his plan right from the start! Kanye and adidas built the hype around the shoe so that everyone in the world knows the word 'Yeezy'. However, this also means that the shoe no longer has a high 'resale value'. But that's not what Mr. West is all about, he's following his own path - spread the love for sneakers!

adidas and Kanye have come up with something special for the 3rd version of the Yeezy. Apart from the fact that they threw out the old concept and reworked the model, nothing more can be said.
