The problem for Kanye is that it takes a lot of money and resources to distribute your merchandise on the scale he wants. He can’t just start up an eBay or AMAZON store.
That is probably why he is looking for a new company for his product, but at the moment, he is too hot to touch for anyone—especially not Sketchers, who a Jewish family owns.
Kanye West is making a quick move to find a new home for his Yeezy shoes … hitting Skechers headquarters to talk with the company’s honchos, but immediately got turned away.
Sources familiar with Ye’s visit tell us he was at the company’s main office Wednesday morning in Manhattan Beach, CA … but this was not a scheduled meeting with management.
Skechers says, Ye “arrived unannounced and without invitation at one of Skechers’ corporate offices in Los Angeles. Considering Ye was engaged in unauthorized filming, two Skechers executives escorted him and his party from the building after a brief conversation.”
Now, we don’t know if Kanye did his research or not, but Skechers is owned and operated by a Jewish family — Robert Greenberg founded it, and his son Michael is currently the President. Considering his rampant anti-Semitism, you could say he barked up the wrong tree.
A spokesperson tells us, “Skechers is not considering and has no intention of working with West. We condemn his recent divisive remarks and do not tolerate antisemitism or any other form of hate speech. Again, West showed up unannounced and uninvited to Skechers corporate offices.”
We’re guessing Kanye’s goal was for Skechers to be his new partner for the Yeezy shoe brand — working both as a manufacturer and distributor, as Adidas did before it dropped him this week. Well, he struck out.
I believe it will take some time, but Kanye can generate so much revenue that a company will come back into the fold to work with him.
