After the Exit of Kanye West, Adidas Left with $2 billion Dollar Gap Despite Making $40 Million in Sales with Beyonce’s Deal

Ending the deal with Kanye West is costing Adidas big time. The rapper proved to
be an exception when he became the first non-sports artist to successfully
collaborate with a sports brand and earn big. Their collaboration first came
into being in 2013, and by 2019, they already crossed $1 billion in sales
annually.

The Yeezy Adidas collaboration became a range, with people standing outside the
stores to grab their pair of sneakers. After enjoying a long partnership, their
deal came to an end due to major differences. The brand then announced its
collaboration with megastar Beyonce. While it has been profiting, the gap left
by Ye’s exit is too big to fill.


ADIDAS STRUGGLES AFTER KANYE WEST DESPITE COLLABORATION WITH BEYONCE

Collaborations are an important aspect of sales for brands. While celebrities
can cost brands millions, they also help generate even billions in annual sales
revenue. As per Business Insider

the German brand collaborated with Beyonce in April 2019. The collaboration is
named Ivy Park and is set to expire in 2023. But it has seen a cut of 50% in
sales of about $40 million. While the amount may seem big, it is nowhere near
the predicted amount of $250 million. It is much lesser than compared to their
Yeezy profit, which made them $2 billion. Although a representative told Insider
that their collaboration with Beyonce has been doing strong and well so far.



The spokesperson, however, refused to reveal the exact sales value gained from
their new deal. Meanwhile, internal changes in the company are also in effect.
Adidas welcomed its newest CEO, Bjørn Gulden, in January this year, after seeing
his successful work with Puma. Additionally, the sports company will also be
launching its next big clothing line to appeal to Gen Z.

Adidas tried to turn a blind to Ye’s comments but was left with no option when
his anti-Semitism invited heavy criticism. Thereafter, reports of his
misbehavior with their staff and other issues began surfacing. The brand wanted
to stick to its principles and decided to let go of the Donda singer despite
heavy profit. It will be seen how the sports brand closes the money gap now.
