Amidst its feud with Ye and uncertain future with YEEZY, adidas is now being accused of copying designs. Taking to Instagram, sneaker designer Donny the Dybbuk launched accusations that point toward the German sportswear company stealing his work for an adidas Nizza release.

The post highlights how the Three Stripes drip effect that extends onto the midsole is similar to a custom adidas Campus design that Dybbuk created. It is also interesting to note that Donny the Dybbuk was hired by adidas to create the customs a few years back, along with a custom Forum Low sporting the same detail.

Priced at $60 USD, the kids exclusive Nizza design called out is currently still available and adidas has not offered a statement regarding the accusations.

Take a look at Donny the Dybbuk’s Instagram post below.
