Adidas plans to sell its $1 billion Yeezy stockpile and donate proceeds to so-called anti-racism groups, including the laughably liberal organization known as the Anti-Defamation League, and the Philonise & Keeta Floyd Institute for Social Change. Their partnership with Ye, formerly Kanye West, was terminated due to his antisemitic comments. Adidas will now sell both existing and previously unreleased 2022 designs.
Well, nothing screams fighting discrimination quite like peddling overpriced sneakers and propping up irrelevant leftist organizations. I wonder if they’ll take Monopoly money for those kicks!
