It's become clear to me that Kanye West is a cult leader. This is my opinion, and this entire article is not necessarily the opinion of SlashGear - but I think it's pretty obvious. Kanye West, as always an entertainment genius and serial entrepreneur, found a way to turn his fans into followers, and his followers into worshipers.

Instead, it's the first "custom show for everyone," so says Michael Donaghu, Nike VP of Innovation. Inside the first Nike Adapt BB shoe is what Nike describes as an "intricate lace engine" that advances the state of shoelaces for the first time in hundreds of years.

The average consumer might be able to afford the next Nike self lacing shoes - imagine that!

This week the folks at the Blizzard merchandise shop may've leaked more than they intended with a few new products. It's just as likely that this is the name of the company's newest initiative in multi-platform Diablo goods and entertainment. Earlier this year it was reported by Blizzard that they'd be bringing Diablo madness to the world in multiple forms soon - and through the next year - so anything is possible, really.

Release of Kanye's latest (re-release) shoes was revealed by Adidas and West himself this morning.

Streetwear brand Supreme continued their brand power campaign this week with a brand new pinball machine. This new machine was made in collaboration with the pinball machine company Stern and was made "exclusively for Supreme." As if anyone else would somehow order a Supreme pinball machine from Stern without Supreme's involvement. That's just silly. Have a peek below for additional Supreme brand items that'd otherwise be mostly meh.
