Over the years, Kanye West has proved to be much more than a lyrical genius. The rapper made a game-changing impact on the music industry. However, he was also deemed a creative in the fashion world. With Ye teaming up with Adidas to give the world his Yeezy creations in 2013, a magnificent partnership was born. Although the collaboration brought in numerous profits for both, the fashion brand ended up cutting ties with the now 46-year-old.

However, now almost two years after its split with West, the apparel brand has revealed its plans for the profits it made from Yeezy shoe sales.

Adidas’ plans for the recent Yeezy shoe sale without Kanye West

In 2022, when Adidas announced that it would be cutting ties with Kanye West, the world was shocked but not surprised, as West’s erratic behavior had landed him in some rather hot water. While Adidas thought it smart to pull out of their deal, they ended up being left with $1.3 billion worth of Yeezy’s lined up. Now, after selling some shoes in batches, the fashion brand revealed plans to donate about $152 million from their profits, according to reports from the Associated Press.

The German athletic apparel company also added that the donations would be made to groups countering hate to make the world a better place. So far, they have made donations to the Anti-Defamation League, the Philonise and Keeta Floyd Institute for Social Change, and plan to make more. With the brand continuing the selling of their leftover Yeezys, the donations could keep rolling in.

After the fashion brand sold various pairs of Yeezys in the last month, West put Adidas on blast, claiming that the shoes were not really his.

Kanye West calls out Adidas for Yeezy sales

Earlier this year, Kanye West made his social media and music comeback. However, it looks like the rapper’s out-of-pocket behavior has not yet ceased. This time, he took aim at Adidas after their partnership had fallen through. With the brand continuing to release Ye’s products, the father of four shared 2 now-deleted stories to his Instagram calling out the company for “trying to destroy” him.

In the videos, West accused the company of continuing to release products under his name despite their partnership drawing to a close years ago. He also vented about the way Adidas had treated him. The rapper claimed that they undermined his creativity. However, it was the cutting ties that were the nail in the coffin for Ye.
