Watch Kanye West's 'Shoe of the Year' Acceptance Speech at the FN Achievement Awards
With a brief mention of our famed HYPEBEAST comments section.
Many had questions as to what would be next for Kanye West after leaving Nike and making the transition into adidas. With the Swoosh being widely known as a dominant force within the sports footwear/apparel industry, Yeezy’s move has helped the three stripes in its new direction and the Yeezy Boost silhouette has managed to stir up a storm within the sneaker industry.
