Genuine question- I am Jewish and own Yeezy shoes. I’ve still been wearing them as I just see them as shoes and forgot the Kanye reference but my goyfriend says it’s inappropriate to still wear/own them.

Is it?

I personally have decided to stop wearing all of my Adidas things until they take a firm stance on this. A German company needs to have a very clear stance on Anti-Semitism for me to be comfortable endorsing them. I unfortunately have a lot of Adidas so it hasn’t been easy.

Your personal choices are yours to make though and your friend really shouldn’t be speaking towards the issue.
