Adidas reportedly confirmed during their quarterly earnings that they will be selling Yeezy products but with a different name following the Kanye 'Ye' West fallout.
, now known as Ye, and Adidas are no longer together as the retail giant announced on Oct. 25 that they have terminated their partnership following his recent antisemitic comments.
"Adidas does not tolerate antisemitism and any other sort of hate speech," the company said in a statement. "Ye’s recent comments and actions have been unacceptable, hateful and dangerous, and they violate the company’s values of diversity and inclusion, mutual respect and fairness."But Adidas said Wednesday during a quarterly earnings call, via Business Insider, that they still intend to sell shoes and more with Ye’s designs, just without the Yeezy name.
Ye was frustrated with the company most recently for releasing a slide that looked similar to his Yeezy Slide, and he fought with management publicly. Kanye West, aka Ye, is seen wearing a Balenciaga boxing mouthguard during Paris Fashion Week, Oct. 2, 2022, in Paris. However, Adidas is the "sole owner of all design rights registered to existing product," CFO Harm Ohlmeyer said via Business Insider, meaning they have the rights to continue producing Ye-inspired items.
