FRANKFURT :Adidas will start selling some of the shoes from its defunct Yeezy partnership with rapper Kanye West at the end of May, the company said on Friday, and plans to donate the proceeds to selected organisations combating racism and hate.
The initial sale of some of the shoes marks the first time the products have been available to customers since Adidas terminated the partnership in October 2022. While the sale announced on Friday could be followed by subsequent releases of Yeezy inventory, no decisions have been made on timing, Adidas said, adding the move had no immediate impact on the group's 2023 outlook.
