adidas + KANYE WEST New Partnership Announcement

Kanye West took to Instagram on Monday to slam Adidas for continuing to sell inventory of the Yeezy Boost 350 after their fallout. The sneaker appeared on the Adidas Confirmed app, earlier this week, with an initial draw scheduled for 8:10 AM, MST on Feb. 29. Ye shared a screenshot of the announcement of their availability while explaining that he isn't getting paid for their sales.

"Anybody who loves Ye would not buy these fake Yeezys," he wrote. "I never made these color ways I’m not getting paid off of them and adidas is suing me. All these celebrities and the public will stand against a T shirt or the color of my hat but when yall see me have my children hidden from me or see an actual Fortune 500 company rape one of your heroes in real life don’t nobody say nothing or do nothing.

After working with the rapper for a number of years, Adidas cut ties with West in 2022 following one of his various antisemitic tirades from the time. The following year, the brand announced it would continue selling the remaining Yeezy inventory, which is worth about $1.3 billion, and donate the proceeds to charity. We've included a screenshot of West's response in case he decides to remove it. Check it out below. He also has since posted a video explaining the situation in further detail.
