Kanye is a talented man, no doubt. But his latest dream of uniting adidas and Nike for a collaboration seems unreachable, to say the least.
But because it’s Kanye, never say never.

Kanye took to Twitter to share his crazy goal, not forgetting his number one ambition: to get a seat on adidas’ board.

“My first pillar when I’m on the board of adidas will be an adidas Nike collaboration to support community growth,” he said.
Kanye signed to adidas back in 2013. But few people remember that, before that, he had started his Yeezy sneaker line with Nike in 2009. He left because he was not getting enough royalties from Nike, consequently moving to arch-rival adidas.
Here is an interesting rendering of what a sneaker born of the adidas Nike collab could look like, according to Highsnobiety:

This is actually a good rendering, knowing that Kanye has, in the past, repeatedly threatened to only wear Jordans until he gets that position on the board of adidas.
I’m with you, Kanye.
