We are all familiar with the cultural impact Kanye had on the shoe game, and many of us still wish for a shot to buy the Nike Air Yeezys at retail. Recently, news broke that Kanye refiled for his “Red October” trademark, and many assumed it was so he could apply the popular name and color scheme to a pair of Adidas. The House Of Heat, however, is claiming that Kanye did this in order to block Nike from attempting to re launch his coveted extinct Nike models. If Nike does plan to move forward with this project, they won’t be able to use names like “Kanye,” “Yeezy,” or “Red October,” however, they will still own the rights to the overall look and design of the shoe. Rumor has it that Nike wants Don C to collaborate on this project. It will be interesting to see what names and colors are used if Nike decides to move forward. More information will be provided soon.
