In a new piece for Slam, Nick DePaula writes that Yeezy basketball sneakers are scheduled to debut in early 2017. Adidas recently re-upped its deal with West, announcing a new long-term partnership in June, 2016. In that announcement, adidas CMO Eric Liedtke alluded to the future of Yeezy products in the performance realm. "With adidas + KANYE WEST we are exploring new territories by opening up the sports world to Kanye's creativity," Liedtke said in a press release.
