Kanye West TROLLS Adidas by moving office NEXT DOOR to flagship store amid lawsuit… as sportswear giant sells off remaining Yeezy stock months after cutting ties with him

Kanye West has trolled Adidas by moving his Yeezy office next door to the German sportswear giant’s flagship store in Los Angeles as they are currently selling the remaining stock of his sneaker label.

New pH๏τos show that the 45-year-old artist – who is no stranger to controversy – has moved his company office next to Adidas’s store on the highly-popular Melrose Ave which sold his once-coveted sneaker.

This comes as the sneaker giant has put the remaining stock of his Yeezy shoes on Wednesday  months after cutting ties with the Can’t Tell Me Nothin’ hitmaker.

Adidas ended its years-long partnership with West, now known as Ye, in late October, in light of his antisemitic remarks and other harmful behavior.

In the months that followed, the fate of 1.2 billion euros (£1.05 billion) worth of unsold Yeezys remained unknown — until earlier this month, when Adidas chief executive Bjorn Gulden announced the company would be selling a portion of the remaining inventory and donating some of the proceeds to social justice organizations.

The first batch of Adidas’s remaining Yeezys went on sale on Wednesday. The sneakers appear to be available through Adidas’s app ‘Confirmed’, according to the retailer’s website.

Part of the profits will be donated to organizations including the Anti-Defamation League and the Philonise & Keeta Floyd Insтιтute for Social Change, Adidas said.

Wednesday’s release marks the first time that Adidas has sold Yeezys since the partnership termination in October. The Yeezy products up for sale will include already-existing designs as well as those that were initiated in 2022 and set to be released in 2023, Adidas previously noted.

‘We believe (selling and donating these Yeezys) is the best solution as it respects the created designs and produced shoes, it works for our people, resolves an inventory problem, and will have a positive impact in our communities,’ Mr Gulden said in a statement on May 19.

At an annual shareholder meeting on May 11, Mr Gulden explained the company made the decision to sell and donate Yeezys after speaking to nongovernmental organisations and groups that were harmed by Ye’s comments and actions.

Some details of Adidas’s plans are still unclear — including how many Yeezys will eventually go on sale and what portion of sales will be donated.

Cutting ties with Ye cost Adidas hundreds of millions of dollars — contributing to a loss of 600 million euros (£529 million) in sales for the last three months of 2022, which helped drive the company to a quarterly net loss of 513 million euros (£440 million).

Adidas reported 400 million euros (£356 million) in lost sales at the start of 2023, the company announced earlier this month.
