DJ Akademiks and DJ Vlad debated whether disses from Kanye West and Travis Scott towards Adidas would significantly impact the brand. Vlad argued that as a legacy brand, Adidas wouldn't be severely affected long-term due to its well-established footprint in the worlds of soccer and basketball. Yeezy's shoes, even without Kanye's name, were still selling out. Additionally, Adidas owns the designs of the popular Yeezy 350s. Akademiks, however, pointed out that while Adidas might not be "killed," it could potentially be made "unpopular in the culture." He argued that the two celebrities' influence could negatively impact the brand's perception, thus affecting the bottom line. They suggested that it could lead to a significant plunge in revenue over the next few years. The media personalities concluded that Adidas is a behemoth capable of weathering such a storm, but acknowledged the potential damage if the trend continues.
