Adidas’ Biggest Athletes Discuss Kanye West Designing Their Sneakers

When news broke that Adidas was going to give Kanye West his own “Yeezy” line with the German sportswear brand, the biggest caveat was that he’d be working on product for sports. With West’s love for basketball, people automatically assumed that he’d be designing—or at least providing his insight—on shoes for the brand’s roster of athletes: Derrick Rose, James Harden, Damian Lillard, and Andrew Wiggins. And that might actually happen.

There was a precedent for folks to speculate on these collaborations happening: Harden, who Adidas signed for $200M last year, said he and West were going to do a sneaker together, and Rose, who’s from Kanye’s hometown of Chicago, also said he’d love to work with him on a shoe. Now they might get the chance to turn those statements into reality.

At an Adidas Basketball event in Las Vegas this week, we had the opportunity to talk to the aforementioned NBA superstars and asked them all just one question: Are you working on sneakers with Kanye?

Here’s what they had to say.
