Wexler was recently named the GM of the YEEZY business unit at adidas after being responsible for leading Kanye West into his transition over to the German sportswear brand. For the last 13 years, Wexler has served as a figurehead for adidas and has been helping set up some of the brand’s biggest collaborations with music icons. But in recent memory, the adidas executive has been mostly tied to YEEZY, often promoting new releases and talking about Kanye’s venture in interviews.
