I agree this some clown shid. Instead of matching energy you can stay solid if you were solid from day 1. Instead of matching fake shid with snake shid
@@steviejohnson6452 yup pretty much, once I see a man has no integrity with his grind I’m good.. super corny move, yet I still respect his hustle it’s just not my style. Game is missing originality and if I support shit like this we’ll never find that.
i can’t say omi not wrong on this one lol. his reaction to you copying his shoe was valid but at the same time you could say the same thing if jordan decided they wanted to stop production of his shoe because he was copying too. people like to hate on kanye but it seems like he the only one doing an actual ORIGINAL shoe🤷🏾♂️
bitch move by omi period. shows he is not an artist just a business man. cant beleive he did that shit. petty acting like a teenager other dude is actually a dope designer and CARES about art
@@freshmenleaguebully2078 yea, i wouldnt call him a bitch but that was a bitch type move. and you’re 100% right and that seems like a lot of cases these days, no artistry. omi not the only one. idk if you into sneakers at all but there was just a big lawsuit with nike and this one guy named warren lotas for pretty much ripping off the dunks and selling them for $300 retail which is a 300% inflation bc dunks retail at $100 from nike. this is why i respect kanye so much bc he coulda been like the rest of rappers and just slapped his name on af1 and called it a day but he went into debt to completely revolutionize the shoe game.
@@freshmenleaguebully2078 is it art if he only really changed the logo of some Jordan ones? I know bro has his own designs but he’s not even the first designer to do that logo
@@chubbywithatool149 i feel u.. but reappropriating happens constantly in art. At the end of the day the idea came from the other guy. same with the sandal which omi admits. for example if u remixed a pop. gucci T but then u see someone take your exact reappropriating design 🤔.
@@freshmenleaguebully2078 the thing is he still got the lighting bolt from another shoe designer it just so happens that guy was doing Af1 clones so he had to cancel making em at the end of the day nothing they are arguing about really matters cause it’s just a Jordan clone with a lightning bolt bro could’ve easily came up with some new shit. Omi a bitch for buying his shit tho that’s bad business but technically it’s good business for him
Kiy gained 30k followers and who knows how many sales from this and he never responded. Omi was pressed af promoting kiy acting like kiy victimized him. There's a reason omi lost 920k after this
@@keysd31 he never responded to them by name, he put general statements out about haters and showed proof that he donated to that cause bc devlin said it was a scam. He been hatin on kiy the longest always leaving laughing emojis on his page
@@bigdraco8444 I guess you his lawyer...Cuzz said on live he didn't know him...then later tells more of the story like he doing now after Ki brings receipts out...why lie in the first place
In conclusion Omi is wrong as fuckkkkk😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭. “Much respect to him but it’s my shit to” boyyy. Creativity comes within someone, for him to take his idea and play him like that not cool at all 😭😭
Yes 100%, it’s a dirty game and there’s only 2 ways to play, do the stroking or get stroked, it’s messed up but like they say, “ don’t hate the player hate the game” unfortunately people can’t just do good business and everybody eat, they’re only looking out for them and will cross you first chance they get once that much money is involved smh.
“So the guy just started hating for nothing??” Uhh No‼️ Omi stated all of the BS hater stuff he was doing behind the scenes to make the original creator respond the way he did
Omi and kiy wasn’t that tight cause if they was kiy would of never felt threatened. He already knew what omi was on and omi showed his ass even more when kiy fucked him over
The two don’t even compare Wah you talking bruh had full rite to do that and didn’t have the right to take his whole brand like wtf get Omni nuts out y’all mouths yeah he’s ah millionaire but wtf is that doing for y’all to have to lie to y’all self
If anybody pay attention omi never was that niggas friend and kiy was never his friend 😂😂 he knew by telling kiy he dropping shoes was gone get em tight he talking bout “competition” but wanted to use the same manufacturer. In my eyes if he felt his shoes was gone do better why not still release his original shoe ? 😂
It's a Jordan 1 knockoff, if KIY made an original show it'd be different. Both of them stole the silhouette of a classic design that's been around longer than they have.
@@RobinXlone this is like when Kanye left Nike over creative differences. Then they switched the release dates on his last shoe (red October’s) without telling him then turned around and made all red foams and all red 4s right after. Legal but Grimy
@@honestcomment862 why omi couldn't do a jordan 2 or 3? Why an exact shoe of kiy? Omni a bih for that. Just another grimmy ass millionaire who made his millions from being grimmy
@@cjlaw228 That was an Air Force 1 and nobody wears Bapestas where I'm from, now or then. Personally I've never seen a pair in person. I don't know who they sell these corny shoes too but...
Ok let’s unpack this, prior to falling out with Kiy....1. Omi admitted to being inspired by Kiy. 2. Omi purposely chose the Jordan 1 like Kiy. 3. He decided to name them “cool wave” just like “cool kiy”.... and this is all BEFORE THE FALLOUT, yes! Nigga you hating.
Someone can correct me if im wrong, but maybe Kiy's shoe had no trademark/copyright/patent and it was legally fine for Omi to sell Kiys shoe, however I still think now Kiy can sue Omi's dumbass for IP theft and probably defamation because hes on video saying basically "yes I purposely stole his shoe because he was a hater so I hated back and did something petty as a consequence". He even admitted he was wrong to do so, and a court of law and civil court care about what a person's intention is / whether or not the defendant had a guilty state of mind (hence why insane people cant be found guilty). Kiy should try to use this video in court.
Omi paid one of koolkiys heat pressers that work in the factory down the block 20k for kiys manufacturer?? First of all of course the heat press guy is gonna take the quick 20k bc he’s making about 15-17 dollars per hour, so I’m not even mad at him.. but omi , omi is playing very dirty.. very dirty !!! Omi couldn’t find his own sneaker manufacturer , so he got kiys and then stole his whole shoe “idea”!! I really used to fuck w omi until he did this corny shit.
@@johnbarterthemarketnarc6946 he was making his own design the “ wave “ only reason why he’s copying it now with the bolt because Kiy was cryin like a bitch to the manufacture to stop production of the “ wave “
😂😂😂😂 ive never seen them on anybody feet & ive yet to even see them in stores they must be over in other countries selling i guess or in fleamarkets here in the states 😂😂
Overall disgusting situation from both Kiy and Omi. As a black designer, we need to let Nike have that bullshit ass shoe and create something WE (BLACK PEOPLE) actually own and are not just used to promote!
he really aint teach him nttn. cause, ppl stil buying kiccs from the other dude. & Omi seems to happy to be a snake. no matta if its business tactic or not.
.....yeah this part of the interview should have never been released. Nothing against Omni, but this makes him look like a goofball smh. Too many inconsistencies in his story...but he does admit to handling the situation wrong.
Kool kiy was wrong, he didn’t create that he stole the look from Jordan so as long as omi got a different name and logo for it. It’s cool how you gone get mad at somebody for copying what you CLEARLY copied ?
😲 Wooooooow! Now to all the people that support this man, realize what type of person he is. TRUST A THIEF TO BE A THIEF! Omni is a thief! No shade to the man either. A spade is a spade! You had a slipper, then turn and create a shoe to compete with the man. Then when he says no I can't do it. (Kool Wave vs. Kool Ky) Fam you take his shoe and smile like it's nothing. Why would he drop a shoe that looks like his, damn near the same name and compete against a friend? Omni it's not right man!
um did you not get the part where Kiys had all production on his shoes stopped lol your lucky a sneaker idea is all he took Kiy took money out his pocket
@@louiebandstv5131 yes he shut down his shoe because it was a copy. He didn't shut down the slippers. Omi wanted to come out with the same shoe after seeing his.
@@anthonybanks4434 nah you got the order wrong omi only said he was going to copy his shoe AFTER he had his manufacturing shutdown whole interview with the actual person (pash) who was giving kool kiy an opportunity to work on his sneaker deals that mustang collaband those other deals never even belonged to Kiy he just flexed like it did
@@louiebandstv5131 Fam the order of events. He started out in the beginning saying he had a slipper and was shown to be wrong when he said he had pic of a shoe he didn't know to be KY's shoe. Chop that up. Then turns around and says I'm making a shoe just like yours called the Kool Wave. Using your manufacturer. Basically saying Fuck you Nino I'ma get to the plug through ya man's G-Money. So Nino told the connect the nigga is pulling a snake move and if you do business with him then I'ma have to shop for another plug. Which is totally understandable considering he said he went around him and tried to get his plug for 20000 through somebody who KY knew! I don't think you were listening fam. Play it back.
Ima fan of omi…but that laugh “ but look at me now I’m air omi” that was cringy n omi a hater n that neglect turnt up his hustle in his early life n he did codi n he’s successful but I don’t believe he’s a genuine person he does Santeria so that let’s U kno everything that’s why his own ppl robbed him smh
This is the corniest ish ever, The part ppl don’t understand is Kool KIY’s are apart of the hype beast sneaker culture and that didn’t happen over night, OMI didn’t work for that his shows will fade out
They're both fake Jordan One's. Hype Beast used to be a put down, saying you don't care about sneakers you're just jumping on a wave. Funny how dudes changed that to mean something good. It's really an insult.
