Is Adidas trying to sell Yeezy or did the website just have a glitch? In a rocky split, the German brand ended its decade-long tie-up with Kanye West despite making millions from it. The move that came over his anti-Semitic row cost both a very heavy price but was down as a result of public pressure and sticking to moral grounds. Due to this, they were left with more than a billion dollar worth of unsold and brand-new Yeezy products.

For weeks now, the company had been considering a number of options on what to do with the high-end collection. But a post on Twitter recently showed two of the Yeezy line products being displayed on the Adidas website. The black shoes on the left hand were Yeezy 500, and the right one in white with zebra strips were Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Adult. They were priced at $175 and $200, respectively.

The post also stated how they are not able to checkout or make a purchase. Apparently, the page is not loading. Meaning it could either be a glitch or they are simply not available for sale. The company has so far not announced any decision yet.
