Kanye West charges Adidas of plagiarizing his Yeezy sneakers

-
Yeezy artist and designer Kanye West made a post on Instagram in which he accused Adidas of copying his ideas and not honoring the contract. Complex reports it. Kanye West posted a photo of the new Adidas Adilette 22 Slides rubber sneakers on his account. The redesign of the new version of the shoe, according to the company, was inspired by "3D terrain and human expeditions to Mars." But, according to West, this is a "blatant copy" of his Yeezy Slide sneakers, which he releases with Adidas. In the post, he addressed the brand's CEO, Kasper Rorsted: "I will no longer tolerate this blatant copying. For the whole sneaker culture... This is for anyone who wants to express themselves but feels they can't because they'll lose their contract or be labeled crazy... These shoes represent the disrespect that people in power have for talent." The Adilette 22 Slides were released in early June for $55 and quickly sold out. Next, the Yeezy Slide was priced at $55, but then the price was increased to $60. West's Adidas contract expires in 2026, but the rapper has hinted that he plans to release apparel and shoes without the brand's endorsement. However, it is worth noting that the rapper has been working with Adidas for almost a decade. On his Instagram post, he started hinting at Kobe Bryant's past deal with Adidas and captioned it: "This is the same Kobe you walked down the same road. I feel the spirit. " In 1996, the basketball legend signed a six-year deal with Adidas but withdrew from the agreement. Yeezy and Adidas partnered in December 2013 and released their first collection in February 2015. West added, "I do not stand for this nonsense. For all the shoe culture, for every ball player, rapper, or even if you work in a store, it is for everyone who expresses themselves.

‘I lied to get the part’: Melvyn Hayes on his ‘angry young man’ beginnings – and It Ain’t Half Hot Mum

-
He was tipped to be the next Richard Burton – but ended up as crossdressing Gunner Gloria in the now controversial sitcom. As his breakthrough classic returns to the screen, Hayes looks back One day in 1957, Melvyn Hayes was on the set of a film called Woman in a Dressing Gown when a man sat down next to him. “I was getting paid £5 a day and I’d been on location for three days,” the actor recalls. “All I had to do was walk up to a house and put a newspaper through a letterbox. That was my part. Finished. I said to this bloke, ‘I can’t believe the waste of money on this film. Take me. You could have got a newspaper boy on £1 a day to do what I’m doing.’ Then I said, ‘What do you do then, you lazy bugger?’ And he said, ‘I’m the producer.’” Hayes, now 89, giggles at the memory of the cheek of himself at 23. Back then, £5 a day was a decent whack. His first job in showbiz, in the early 1950s, was as assistant to The Great Masoni, a magician who tasked Hayes with “disappearing twice daily

Elaha review – sex, patriarchy and second-generation identity

-
A sexually candid, seriously intentioned drama about a young Kurdish woman who feels she has to surgically ‘restore’ her virginity before her wedding There is a heartfelt and courageous performance from 28-year-old Syrian-born, German-based actor Bayan Layla in this drama about sex, patriarchy and second-generation immigrant identity. It is a drama which hits the buttons squarely and efficiently, but might perhaps have played better as a three-part TV drama. Layla plays Elaha, a young woman of Kurdish family background in a German town (director Milena Aboyan is herself German-based and Armenian-Kurdish). She has finished high school and is now attending classes on how to apply for jobs, picking up skills she uses mainly to help her dad find employment. There seems to be no discussion about university, despite her obvious intelligence. Her mum works hard minding Elaha’s younger sister and disabled kid brother, and Elaha has part-time work at a dry-cleaners; she is saving for her wedd

Gasoline Rainbow review – a free-ranging coming-of-age ode to the curiosity of youth

-
Billed as a gen Z road trip film, the Ross brothers’ first fiction feature offers more than you’d expect from the genre, with a focus on human interaction over plot In the opening seconds of the Ross brothers’ new film, a teenager professes his hope to discover a place “weirdos” like him can call home. The opening raises doubts about the novelty of what might follow: the trope of the high school outsider has been endlessly revisited. Gasoline Rainbow – billed as a gen Z road trip movie – starts off by replaying familiar images. As new high school graduates Makai, Micah, Nathaly, Nichole and Tony hit the road across Oregon for one final adventure together, we see the usual trappings of the genre: sing-alongs, parties by the campfire, and leaning out of car windows to enjoy the breeze and sweet call of freedom. We move into welcome new territory when a mishap leaves their van out of action, and the group are left in the hot desert trying to scrounge a path forward, meeting strangers al
