The news comes a day after Kanye West informed Chicago’s Stylz & Roman radio show that his clothing partnership with Adidas will be released in September of 2014. During his announcement, West took one more jab at his former partner, Nike:
I’ve been under the wings, playing it the right way at Nike and everything but I’ve wanted to create more and not been able to create more for no reason. I have a new product partner with adidas. I just got back from Germany yesterday and it was one of the greatest creative days of my life.
The Red October Air Yeeys II will be available on Footlocker’s website at 8 A.M. on December 27th.
