Adidas had a very prosperous 2015, thanks in no small part to one Kanye West, whose YEEZY collections managed to generate a whole lot of revenue for the German sportswear company and even more hype. While West made no bones about the popularity of his footwear and apparel line, Pharrell Williams struck his own fortune with the Adidas Consortium Superstar collection.
According to Business of Fashion, Adidas recently produced a report of last year’s financial earnings. In it, the company detailed that it had sold 15 million pairs of Superstars – some of which Pharrell had no hand in creating – and, “at $100 or so per pair, accounted for almost $1 in every $10 adidas took in,” outperforming and outselling all shoes in the adidas range.
If you haven’t checked out Kanye West’s seventh studio album ’The Life Of Pablo’, Pharrell Williams is credited on the tune ’30 Hours’ which is produced by Kanye West, Karriem Riggins and Mike Dean and the reason Pharrell is credited on the tune is because it contains an interpolation of Nelly’s ’Hot In Herre’, make sure to cop the album on Tidal and check out the tune below.

Pharrell thinks Kanye West’s surprising presidential bid declaration at last week’s MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) was a smart move. “I think Kanye (right) knows exactly what he’s doing,” the US singer-songwriter-producer told The New Paper over the phone recently from Los Angeles, ahead of his upcoming concert here during the F1 weekend (Sept 18 to 20). “I just love that he took the time to express himself.
“His speech was one of the highlights of this year’s VMAs for me.” West’s announcement had capped off his rambling 10-minute acceptance speech after receiving the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award. Williams was also at the VMAs, where he performed his new single Freedom outside the Orpheum Theater in Los Angeles. But does he think West will really run for US President, or was he just joking?
“You’ll have to ask him,” Williams replied. “That’s the genius of Kanye – he knows how to get people talking.”
