Honestly I can't recall the last pair of shoes I've had that came apart regardless of brand name.The Yeezy's are godawful butt ugly.I suppose that is a fair comparison- as both "hobbys" create jobs in poorer countries. the difference is Nike runs sweat shops and jack up prices for name recognition not quality. Nikes are terrible shoes that fall apart quickly and don't compare in quality to other lower priced brands.
