Adidas generates millions from Yeezys after Kanye West split
By Lora JonesBusiness reporter, BBC News
Adidas generated millions from its first " drop" of Yeezy trainers after ending The Collaboration with rapper and fashion designer Kanye West .
The sportswear giant reported sales of €400m (£344m) from The Shoes between April and June this year.
Adidas cut ties with West, known as Ye, last November after he made a series of anti-Semitic comments on Social Media .
It has pledged to donate some of the proceeds of the sales to charities who work on combating hate.
The demand for Yeezy shoes has not faded though, with the trainers remaining wildly popular in the resale market.
Adidas boss Bjorn Gulden said The Firm will " continue to carefully sell off more of the existing Yeezy inventory" in.
He argued the sale was " much better than destroying and writing off the inventory" but acknowledged that it boosted The Company 's " general financial strength".
Strong demand for Yeezys helped The Company narrow its projected loss for the year to €450m, down from the €700m previously expected.
Sales from the Yeezy line were similar to The Level seen in the same period in 2022 before the high-profile fall-out.
Adidas also set aside €110m for charitable donations to the likes of The Foundation to Combat Anti-Semitism and the Anti-Defamation League - a Move It had announced previously in The Wake of Kanye West 's remarks online.
In May, sitting in storage after the highly-profitable partnership came to an end.
On Thursday, it said that if it decided not to sell the rest of the inventory it would take a hit of about €400m.
But its latest results did not account for the recent second release of the trainers, which is likely to give it a further financial boost.
Jd Sports said it had started selling Yeezy products from The German sportswear giant's second release of The Shoes on Wednesday.
who claim The Firm knew about Kanye West 's problematic behaviour years before it ended their partnership.
Investors allege Adidas failed to limit financial losses and take precautionary measures to minimise their exposure.
Adidas has previously said it rejected " these unfounded claims" adding that it would take " all necessary measures to vigorously defend ourselves against them".
