"Adidas Expands Yeezy Line Amid Kanye West Controversy"

Adidas is selling off its remaining Yeezy inventory through digital platforms after cutting ties with Kanye West due to his antisemitic remarks. This is the third time the company has sold Yeezy shoes since ending its partnership with the rapper. Adidas has accompanied the sales with donations to groups fighting antisemitism and other forms of hate. Kanye West, formerly known as Ye, was dropped by Adidas in October 2022 over antisemitic remarks. Despite the controversy, Adidas expects operating profit to nearly double this year after discontinuing the Yeezy business.
