Back to EpisodesDeath of Yeezys 👟 — The sneaker market is in a spiral. TouchBistro raises a big round. And Canada has a new immigration plan.
Description
The Adidas-Kanye West split meant the death of Yeezy: The immensely popular and influential line of shoes the controversy-mongering rapper designed for the company.
That’s potentially bad news for the sneaker resale market (projected to be a US$30 billion industry by 2030) and for those touting sweet kicks as a burgeoning asset class.
Toronto-based TouchBistro, a software provider for restaurants, is breezing though a market downtown that has left venture capitalists holding their dollars close to their chest.
The feds just flicked on a big, bright, buzzing “OPEN” sign with a new three-year immigration plan aimed at getting skilled workers into the country to address the ongoing labour crunch.
