    So, let me sum up 2018 Kanye for ya real quick. He doesn't have an Instagram.

    And he doesn't use Twitter.

    Well yesterday, he came back for a second just to throw some shaaaaade at Nike.

    Def Jam Recordings

    Yep! So, Nike is releasing their updated monarch sneaker, which looks like this:

    And Kanye thought they looked pretty similar to his YEEZY 700 shoes, seen here:

    Adidas

    So, he tweeted this now-deleted tweet, insinuating that Nike copied his YEEZY 700 shoe.

    Even Jack, creator of Twitter, welcomed Kanye back!

    Ok, back to the shoes. I mean, I definitely see some similarities??? They both have thick, raised midsoles (yes, i had to Google "parts of a shoe" to use that word).

    Nike / Adidas

    But, I feel like Nike is a shoe legend and has made a bajillion types of shoes and would never copy?? Ya know?

    Idk, do you think Nike was a little ~inspired~ by the success of Kanye's YEEZY shoes? Or do you think it's just a similiar-ish-looking shoe? Lmk in the comments!
