People buy Yeezys because of the name not the design

Some do.

But most people will see a price drop for the same shoe everyone has been wearing for years and grab a pair.

He definitely made them popular but it's not like most people are buying them because of him. More people have bought his shoes than his albums. It's just a very popular shoe right now.

Yea because they are Yeezy brand, no one looks at Yeezys and goes “man those adidas are sick”. Kanye’s has a cult following, yeah people will still buy the shoes, but not as many as you guys think

As someone that doesn’t pay attention to this kinda stuff I didn’t even know adidas made Yeezys until this drama started.

I feel like the sales will surely drop without his attachment to the brand/the hype he'd always bring. They're such absolutely hideous shoes when you take off the hype goggles. Looks like a project a middle-schooler would do in shop class, recycling a burlap potato sack into the uppers. Obviously just my opinion, but damn are they ugly shoes...

As one of the few people who like how comfortable they are I’m gonna be stoked when they’re $100 less without the YE

Lol nope. Definitely going to buy them now that they're not under Kayne's bitch ass. I'll be proud to wear them.
