Adidas : Marketing Strategy With Hip Hop Rapper Kanye West

Kanye West and his brand “Yeezy” are one of the biggest names in the sneaker industry. In fact, Kanye West has a song referring to how he has “Jumped over the Jumpman”, Jumpman of course referring to the brand Air Jordan, but is it true? Is Kanye West and Adidas brand Yeezy more popular today than Michael Jordan’s signature shoe line? The Jumpman is one of the most iconic brand logos on the market, but in the past few years Yeezy has become a major competitor; as well as Adidas in general. When you hear Nike is grossing approximately 86.2 billion in 2015 compared to Adidas 17.1 billion, you may think that there is no way Adidas could stand up to the all-mighty Nike, but what if it is just the beginning? Complex Magazine asks this question in

In this paper, we present an elaborate analysis of the marketing mix employed by Nike in its marketing strategy. The marketing mix is conducted on the basis of the concept of "marketing mix" which is usually referred to as the "4Ps" as an important means of effectively interpreting as well as translating the marketing strategy into practice as noted by Bennett (1997).A recommendation is also provided.

West said, “Fuck you and your corporation y’all niggas can’t control me.” The combative and belligerent tone that Kanye expressed opens up his attitude toward the overall production quantities and retail prices that companies produces. Corporations such as Nike, releases models that are tagged exclusive, which deems them as nearly impossible to get because of the extremely limited quantities that are produced. “Nike would make you believe it was my fault that you couldn't get them, but that was not the case. I wanted there to be as many Yeezys as there was LeBrons, and I wanted them to be at a good price, but that was not my choice (Rosen, "Kanye Slams Nike, Says Company Head 'Let Go Of Culture'").” West’s creative, and production freedom was controlled, and manipulated by Nike to broadcast to the public that he was in fact the reason why his shoes were extremely difficult to find. Companies are aware of how to gain the control, and attention of consumer’s. They conduct this by attaching names of famous designer’s such as Kanye to models, for instance the “Yeezys.” The name of the product carries a huge weight of meaning to the consumer, where as though they will take part in savagery actions to obtain the shoe, and the companies take notice of these actions, and in turn raise the price of models that are highly regarded. Corporations use that ideal to keep the favored names of consumer

Everyday, billions of people look down at their feet and squeeze them into a pair of shoes. For probably most of those people in America, when they look down at their feet, they see a shoe with a swoosh on it. This swoosh belongs to no other than one of the most popular sneaker companies, Nike. I decided to look further into this popular shoe company's success. It turns out Nike isn't even one of the oldest shoe companies, but it is less than 60 years old. Nike had to figure out how to become better than just an ordinary sneaker company.

After researching Kanye West as my pop culture topic, I came to the conclusion that I was interested in looking at him through the lens of Business. Business can also be known as an enterprise or as a company. Its main goal is to provide their costumers with goods and services in exchange of money. The people who provide this service become successful by offering people exactly what they want or simply by creating something that convinces people that they need it. Business is a wide topic that needs a lot of human behavior understanding and a person who is able to analyze how to be successful and manage money.

Even Though the terms of the deal weren't disclosed, it is said to be the biggest partnership between a sports brand and a non-athlete to date.
