Zappos: 1, Kanye: 0.
The Las Vegas-based online shoe and clothing store has proven it can take some, um, guff from one of the world's biggest music stars.
Kanye West — no stranger to bizarre, provocative comments — took aim at Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh during a podcast interview with author Bret Easton Ellis this week. Ellis and West, who are working on a movie together, got on the subject of fashion, and West relayed a story about an encounter with Hsieh.
"I got into this giant argument with the head of Zappos that he's trying to tell me what I need to focus on. Meanwhile, he sells all this sh*t product to everybody, his whole thing is based off of selling sh*t product," West said in the interview.
Zappos' response? The brand, which is owned by Amazon, tweeted a link to a page on their site that included a picture of the types of "sh*t product" that Zappos offers.
The copy reads:
Interested in buying sh-t product? You've come to the right place! Here at Zappos.com, we happily sell sh-t products to everybody! This is the throne, everyone has been watching. Whether you're #1 or #2, your clique will show no mercy, even in Paris.
The site then explained that it was the "perfect gift for the man who has everything" and linked to West's statement.
Your move, Kanye.
