Omar Bailey who worked on the Adidas-Yeezy collaboration spilled the beans on what he learned from working with designer Kanye West.

“The biggest thing I learned from him…” &#8211; Former Yeezy Innovation Head Reveals What Kanye West Taught Him During the Time

Kanye West remains in the limelight with or without his physical appearances or
new album release. The ‘Donda’ singer has gone underground for the past few
months following several controversial public interviews. In his absence, the
people who have worked with him are making the headlines by revealing their
experiences of working with the creative genius. Former Adidas-Yeezy employee
Omar Bailey is the new addition to the list. He recently explained what it felt
like to work with Ye.

Fans have seen West as a producer or rapper, but his entry into the fashion
industry was something no one saw coming. While it lasted long, his split with
Adidas came with many employees complaining against him. However, Omar Bailey
does not share the same sentiment.


ADIDAS-YEEZY EMPLOYEE SPILLS THE BEANS ON WORKING WITH KANYE WEST

Both Adidas and Kanye West enjoyed their decade-long partnership before ending
it on rough terms. The artist was not only a figurehead but also an active
participant in the shoe design. It required him to work with people in the team,
including the innovative head, Bailey. “The biggest thing I learned from him and
the experiences is that impossible really is nothing,” he revealed on The Baller
Alert Show. Ye encouraged him to go beyond the lines and experiment freely. He
wrapped up the question about his learning from Ye, by stating how has told him
to go beyond the boundaries.



The innovative head also reflected on his first meeting with Ye. While on a
task, Ye wanted to make design changes without the process being slow or on an
industrial level. His experience was similar to many who have worked with Ye
before. During their meeting, they spoke and discussed ideas for 45 minutes. He
commended the entertainer for holding an interrupted session.

THE FUTURE OF ADIDAS AND YE REMAINS IN THE DARK TODAY

The Yeezy deal not only made Ye one of the most successful non-sport
collaborators, but the line also made up to 10% of Adidas’ total profits. West’s
controversies forced them to go separate ways. However, their split cost Adidas
more than $700 million. Meanwhile, Ye also lost his billionaire status. There
were discussions of the two reuniting just to deal with the remaining Yeezy
products, but no further details about it are out yet. Today, the brand still
strives to find a replacement who will be as profitable as the rapper.
