No One Showed Up For Kanye West’s 2XU Sportswear Launch

By -

Are the effects of Kanye’s Remark on slavery finally coming to play?

His brand YEEZY collaborated with Australian sportswear brand 2XU and there was a whole debut set up at a 2XU store in Sydney.

The collaboration was scheduled to begin at 9 AM on Saturday, 5th May. 2XU had staff come early to prepare for the crowd they thought would be all over the place and lining up to buy $550 neoprene leggings and the $500 bike shorts deemed “Suba tights” and “Scuba shots”. But after 45-minutes and customers failing to show, the store shut down the event.

“There’s been a change of direction from head office and unfortunately the event has been cancelled,” a representative told Fairfax Media.

These products had been hyped and publicised on social media by the rapper’s wife Kim Kardashian and a press release had stated that “fans will have to be quick, with a strictly limited number of pieces from the collection available to the public.”

Despite all this, by Saturday evening, the leggings and shorts were still very much available.

The hashtag #yeezyx2xu was only used 10 times on Instagram.

    Woah! That’s sad. I just bought Yeezy for my brother. It was his 19th birthday and he loved them but I had no idea that this happened to Kanye. I also have some work out leggings from his brand and I look really good in those. I think I will also buy this pair of shoe soon.

The tool was developed by a shadowy Israel-based firm called the NSO Group, which has been accused of helping governments from the Middle East to Mexico snoop on activists and journalists. Security researchers said the malicious code bore similarities to other tech developed by the firm, according to The New York Times. The latest exploit - which impacts Android devices and Apple's iPhones, among others - was discovered earlier this month and WhatsApp scrambled to fix it, rolling out an update in less than 10 days.

A disappointed customer has accused a popular fashion designer of giving out her wedding anniversary dress to a model to use for a photo shoot. @queeniathetitttle said she described the dress she wanted for her wedding anniversary to designer Maryam Elisha of Rikaoto and paid for the dress only to later see a model wearing the exact same dress after she had been sent a video of her dress.  She confronted the fashion designer but was told that they made two of the same dress. However, the customer said she doesn't believe this and showed screenshots of the chats she exchanged with the designer to prove that such a dress never existed until she described it to the designer. Maryam is yet to reply to the allegations. See screenshots below.
