"This is Ye driving down the same street Kobe passed on. Maybe I feel that Mamba spirit right now. To Kasper, I'm not standing for this blatant copying any more. To all sneaker culture, to every ball player or even if you work at the store. This is for everyone who wants to express themselves but feel they can't cause they will lose their contract or be called crazy."
