Adidas AG has announced further stock leftover from a cancelled partnership with Kanye West will be sold off in the coming weeks.
A phased sell-off of the sportswear retailer’s remaining YEEZY products began on Monday, Adidas said on Monday, with further online releases planned over the weeks ahead.
“As announced at the start of 2024, Adidas will release the remaining YEEZY inventory, which features products from 2022, in the course of the year,” the company said.
“The range available will include some of the most popular designs.”
Such products remain unsold after Adidas and rapper West split in late 2022 over a series of anti-semitic comments made by the latter.
Such sell-offs of YEEZY products since have buoyed earnings at Adidas after demand for the products, which were designed by West, has prevented the need for a hefty write-down on the stock.
Availability and timing of the latest batch of YEEZY products will vary on location, Adidas said, with the stock exclusively set to be sold online.
“Since terminating the YEEZY partnership in October 2022, Adidas has donated to selected organizations to combat discrimination and hate, including racism and antisemitism,” the firm added.
