First off, let’s get this out of the way. I know that adidas bought Reeebok back in 2005. However, that doesn’t make the comments regarding Yeezy’s latest shoe, the “Powerphase” (despite what the erroneous tweet below says) any less entertaining.
Peep these new kicks and tell me if they don’t look familiar and even perhaps like a certain Reebok shoe you (or more likely, your parents) may have owned back in the day…

Pretty sure my mom owned a pair of these back in the 80s, and I not alone in that assessment…

what does that have to do with Afufas making a reebok and calling it a Yeezy?

Poor Kanye. I guess at least now he knows a little bit what it feels like to be Steph Curry.
Even tho these literally just Reeboks with Adidas label people will be dumb enough to pay hundreds for these shoes

Unfortunately, he’s right.
