Yeezy general manager Jon Wexler has left the building.
An internal Adidas memo obtained by WWD sister publication Footwear News said Wexler “has decided to leave…to pursue interests outside the company, effective Aug. 31.”
Wexler joined the company in 2000, and left to work for Converse in 2004, only to return to Adidas as brand manager at the end of 2006. His 13-year tenure includes roles such as brand manager and global brand manager, as well as global director entertainment and influencer marketing, according to his LinkedIn profile.
Wexler, alongside West, was one of the main faces of the Yeezy brand, doing press interviews to discuss his career at Adidas and working with West on Yeezy. His Instagram posts are almost exclusively Yeezy Boost sneakers from the 350 V2 to the 500 and 700 sneakers.
