That's right. You can work for Yeezy. After announcing that Kane West and Adidas are joining forces in the largest ever partnership "between a non-athlete and an athletic brand," Adidas is ready to staff up their new Yeezy division. Details on the collaboration are vague, at best, but it's teased as a "Yeezy branded entity creating footwear, apparel, and accessories for all genders across street and sport."

"Kanye is a true creator who has the ability to see things others don't," said Adidas CMO Eric Liedtke when announcing the partnership. "We are excited and honored to build on this partnership, and eagerly look forward to defining the future together. With Adidas + KANYE WEST we are exploring new territories by opening up the sports world to Kanye's creativity. This is what Adidas has always been about, empowering creators to create the new."

There are currently 17 jobs open to help West make his Yeezy vision come alive, because even self-proclaimed geniuses need a little help sometimes. All the gigs are based out of Portland, Oregon, but there are some interesting titles in there like Senior Designer Footwear, Design Director, and a whole lot more. 

It's the perfect company to take up arms with if you've always wanted a boss who says things like, "What's the point in thinking?" On the other hand, everything he touches has turned to gold, so maybe you're getting in on something grand.
