Kanye West Addressed Nike Copying His Yeezy Colorways

Since Kanye's departure from Nike in 2013, the brand has found more than a few ways to channel his popularity into pre-existing models. From Foamposites to Roshes and even a Jordan Son of Mars, there's been a handful of blatantly Yeezy-inspired colorways over the years. Surprisingly, the man himself has kept his lips sealed on the inspired sneakers — until now.

In a 2013 clip that just surfaced, Kanye takes the time to sign DJ Greg Street's huge Yeezy collection, but not without dropping a few bombs along the way. "They're taking Jordans and giving 'em this colorway," Kanye says in reference to a pair of "Black/Solar Red" Yeezy IIs.

"I seen [sic] that, thought it was terrible, they made the all-red ones too," replies an off-camera voice.

Elsewhere in the video, Kanye geeks out over his previous designs, calling the "Zen Grey" Yeezy 1s a "work of art" and teasing his then-unreleased collaboration with adidas. It's definitely one of the best things you'll see all day, so take a moment to reminisce above.
