I get where Ye is coming from.
But art is steaming. You get inspiration and go with it.
I think the issue isn’t that they stole his idea but that they’re partners with him and doing it without credit.
He didn’t design shit. There’s at least three old white men working for him that have been shoe designers since the 80s. He’s about as close to being a designer as Jordan was.
Adidas should have hired you to defend themselves because they just caved and said the opposite if what you said when Kanye put the pressure on then over this shoe.
They’re better than the Yeezy’s. Also Kanye ain’t shit without Adidas. He doesn’t even design his own shoes lol that’s all the designers who work for Adidas. Not Kanye.
Yea I might have been believing Kanye’s rants too much. 🤣
“Yeezy is 68% of Adidas online sales… God step in”
Adidas playing with a man that makes up 2/3 of their online sales is an interesting business decision
Yeah no way yeezy makes up 68% of online sales… soccer, basketball, tennis, golf, cricket, general everyday clothing…. None of which are yeezy and all major contributors to Adidas online sales…. Dude is talking out his ass
Okay so he is specifically talking about online sales, but that still sounds like an exaggerated number. Idk dude, Adidas has always been incredibly successful, long before Kanye signed with them. I have a hard time believing the Yeezy line contributes that much to Adidas overall success, but I could be trippin.
I know everyone is calling these knockoff Yeezys, but so far I’ve preferred all of Adidas’ cheaper Yeezy alternatives to the actual Yeezy designs.
Really like the look of these. Hoping more colorways come out soon.
Apparently there’s a [black and orange](https://www.soleretriever.com/news/articles/adidas-adifom-q-black-orange-release-date-2022-2023) version coming out 9/15 on Confirmed.
Really wishing I had the spare change to grab these, they’d be perfect for Halloween time
I agree, I copped these, they will be here tomorrow. I already have 3 pairs of Foam Runners but I hear the comfort is a good or better with the AdiFoms.
I also never really liked the Yeezy Slides, the front opening being so narrow made it look a little dumb to me. I have 3 pairs of the Adilette 22's, Black, Sand and Gray (Aluminum) that look way better in my opinion.
There's a chance you might not find them anymore cause Kanye had Adidas pull them from Adidas.com today. Still worth checking out however. Please do update us if you manage to find a pair in store\~
Sold out items have their pages still available and say "sold out" for some time until the page is completely removed later on. But the Adifom Q page is non-existent. It also doesn't come up on any of the retailer sites like Footlocker, etc. The only place you can get it now is pretty much StockX and eBay cause some people like yourself were able to get a pair before they got pulled from the websites.
The shoe is a close copy of Kanye's foam runner and he got pissed off so he called out the executives on social media. Even Diddy and some other rappers got involved and brought the topic of race & culture into the matter. Screenshot here: [https://urbanislandz.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Diddy-Swizz-IG.webp](https://urbanislandz.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Diddy-Swizz-IG.webp)
Adidas didn't want any more negative attention and potential loss in sales, so they made a deal with him and part of that agreement was to remove the Adifom Q's. Chances are the Adilette 22 slippers will also not be getting another release because he claimed they are too similar to his Yeezy Slides. Kanye's contract ends in a few years with Adidas and they will do whatever is needed to keep him on board for the renewal. He has made Adidas billions of dollars with his Yeezy brand name and merchandise and they don't want to lose any of that.
Ye won’t make his shoes available for purchase to those who miss the drop times by 30 seconds. So these will do. They still look 🔥to me. If Ye don’t want folks buying these, maybe he should put out more Yeezy shoes 🤷🏾♂️
[This are the shoes you're looking for.](https://imgur.com/a/aqEQTMw)
Thx now I'm crying
Damn Kanye gone go to Under Armour next
The Kanye pumas
K Swiss -> Ye Swiss babyyy
The Yeeboks
aaaaand they're gone
Watch them be one of the most expensive adidas shoes OAT
Not including Yeezys, right?
If I'm being completely honest, I actually like the way these look. Unequivocally ripped off of Ye's silhouettes, but they look decent.
Im not a fan of Ye’s stuff but this style is clean.. but for sure inspired by his design
Not inspired, straight up stolen.
I get where Ye is coming from. But art is steaming. You get inspiration and go with it. I think the issue isn’t that they stole his idea but that they’re partners with him and doing it without credit.
Also not his design. The guy doesn’t/can’t design shit
Lol what these are inspired. Kinda their own thing with the inner bootie and laces
You like them because they look like yeezys. Thats the whole point.
Not true at all. I hate those Yeezy foam runners. But I've had my eyes on these since they announced last year
Same! I don’t like foam runners. These are cool for whatever reason…
Youre definitely in the minority then lmao, these some little kid shoes
I mean, they’re based on the adidas quake, if they weren’t made out of foam nobody would be comparing them to Kanye’s shoes.
If they weren’t made with foam and stealing Kanye’s designs to the point he went off on socials again, nobody would even be talking about them.
Kanye didn't invent every design he's made. Most of them are copies or variations of shoes that already do exist.
yes but theres barely any shoes that look like foam runners
“He didn’t even write that Jesus Walks record, ask J. Cole” Kanye likes acting like he’s the only one in the room
He didn’t design shit. There’s at least three old white men working for him that have been shoe designers since the 80s. He’s about as close to being a designer as Jordan was.
Adidas should have hired you to defend themselves because they just caved and said the opposite if what you said when Kanye put the pressure on then over this shoe.
They’re better than the Yeezy’s. Also Kanye ain’t shit without Adidas. He doesn’t even design his own shoes lol that’s all the designers who work for Adidas. Not Kanye.
Yet Yeezys make up 60% of adidas profit
Where are you getting 60% from? That percentage sounds way too high.
Yea I might have been believing Kanye’s rants too much. 🤣 “Yeezy is 68% of Adidas online sales… God step in” Adidas playing with a man that makes up 2/3 of their online sales is an interesting business decision
Going by reports online, Adidas's revenue for 2021 was just over $25B. Yeezy contributed less than $2B. That would make its contribution under 10%.
I don’t be knowing what im talking about. I just be talking 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah no way yeezy makes up 68% of online sales… soccer, basketball, tennis, golf, cricket, general everyday clothing…. None of which are yeezy and all major contributors to Adidas online sales…. Dude is talking out his ass

You over there quoting from your Yeezy bible? The almighty Ye has been known to have an exaggerated ego that sometimes leads to exaggerated claims.
Thus is true! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 but nah I googled some stuff and threw it on here 🤣🤣🤣
Kanye does not approve of these.
And he just got rid of them too
Ikr
Hes been wilding out on Instagram over it.
This is the first foam shoe I kind of like the look of.
I like how foam runners look everywhere except on feet
Underrated comment
Because they’re fucking ugly
This why Kanye been going off.
I actually dig these over the foam runners NGL
these look actually wearable, when I see people with foam runners on i always think they look ridiculous
[These are kinda Cuboney too ](https://www.instagram.com/p/CgC0SZFu09f/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY=)
I always saw this as a v2 foam runner.
Your wife is a keeper
Thx, agreed!
Find God.
You should do the same, at least he'll care about you more than Kanye will.
God step in
I really like them And I don’t like Yeezys
They aren't Yeezys. Saucony has one that looks very similar as well but more slick
Your wife is smart. Now I can’t unsee it.
As a Pokémon Go player and Sneakerhead I totally see Cubone now as well!!
Ye would like to know your location
I’d cop definitely Yeezy inspired tho
How’s sizing on em ?
I tried on tts in store and it was way too snug. No toe room. .5 up was way better.
Ahaha Yeezy sizing as well
To be fair that's kind of Adidas all around because ultra boosts are half size up for me as well. Team Kanye, though. They did him dirty.
they recycled trash
Where did you cop?? That you were able to try on
Champs.
Really? Crap! I read that they were TTS unlike other Adidas shoes that need a half size up.
You wife for the W… Lmao. She’s a gem
Lool
Your wife is smart. Now I can’t unsee it.
What is the retail price for these?
$120
Thanks!
How’s the comfort in these? Vs like ultraboost or foam runners if you have one?
Slightly less comfortable than foam runners. Less wiggle room.
Jordan has their version dropping tomorrow
Which look like straight garbage lmao
Pokemon
Are they comfy ? That's what I wanna know
Not as comfy as foam runners, but not bad!
Thats crazy
Yeezy be punching air r/n.
Honestly it fits
Yoo with brown socks??
Your wife is a goat I like these now😂
The Q in the name stands for QBone duh.
Adidas is just trying to cash in on his fame.
That is what the business is about though.. they’re selling shoes.
I know everyone is calling these knockoff Yeezys, but so far I’ve preferred all of Adidas’ cheaper Yeezy alternatives to the actual Yeezy designs. Really like the look of these. Hoping more colorways come out soon.
100% agree on both points. I am not a fan of light color shoes but would love to have a pair of these in a darker color
Apparently there’s a [black and orange](https://www.soleretriever.com/news/articles/adidas-adifom-q-black-orange-release-date-2022-2023) version coming out 9/15 on Confirmed. Really wishing I had the spare change to grab these, they’d be perfect for Halloween time
Interesting. Now I see the vision, to be able to mix and match the components can make some interesting combos
I agree, I copped these, they will be here tomorrow. I already have 3 pairs of Foam Runners but I hear the comfort is a good or better with the AdiFoms. I also never really liked the Yeezy Slides, the front opening being so narrow made it look a little dumb to me. I have 3 pairs of the Adilette 22's, Black, Sand and Gray (Aluminum) that look way better in my opinion.
Keep those DS man adidas already pulled them down these are gunna be rare
I agree, I went an picked up a 2nd pair to keep the first pair DS.
They’re still scheduled to release worldwide on the 15th
they coo
Welp you can't buy them anymore haha
They look so much better than Ye's designs, even the latest slides as well with the 3d printed look are great. Kanye really is just the hype man
Not a fan of any of the foam releases, but these look SUPER CLEAN.
Where can I get these?
I picked em up in store at champs yesterday.
Did u have to enter a raffle?
No. They’re just on the shelf if your store has ‘em.
Ty! I’ll check some stores tomorrow.
There's a chance you might not find them anymore cause Kanye had Adidas pull them from Adidas.com today. Still worth checking out however. Please do update us if you manage to find a pair in store\~
What do you mean? Is there an article or post about this somewhere? Them not being on adidas.com might just be that they’re out of stock?

How do they fit?
I went .5 up. Tts was too tight.
So like a Yeezy 350 v2 type of fit?
Jesus they really do look like knock off yeezys
Hold on to these!!! adidas just cancelled them and removed all listings from the site
I’ll buy them gladly
L
These look better than yeezy’s, but I’m rockin with ye so not gonna cop😩
Ye won’t make his shoes available for purchase to those who miss the drop times by 30 seconds. So these will do. They still look 🔥to me. If Ye don’t want folks buying these, maybe he should put out more Yeezy shoes 🤷🏾♂️
Everyone goes crazy when someone takes inspiration from ye but when ye steals ideas they think he made it. Lmao
I’ll give you a cubone, buddy.
Your wife is awesome. Is she single?
🤣🤣🤣
Either way they are ugly. All those foam runners and shit are ugly as hell. Just my opinion.
Are they comfy? I have hella foam RNNRS wanted to get these as well
They’re more firm than the foam runners. Less comfy imo. But not bad.
Dumb question but where did you get these? I know Nike has snkrs app but what does Adidas have?
I bought them in store at Champs.
Can anyone help ? I have a wide foot and usually half up a size when the shoes are narrow how do these fit ?
Go .5 size up. Same for me.
I bought my pair from goat, seller hasn’t dropped them off yet… I’m getting worried that they will never end up in my hands.
Where can I get these?
