Rapper and fashion designer, Kanye West and Adidas have reportedly reached an agreement to release the remaining scheduled pairs of Yeezys for 2023 after the clothing giants lost $1.3B after the shoe company dropped him due to his anti-semitic views.
Taking to Twitter, @kanyestreams1, an account dedicated to reporting news relating to Ye, reported that the American rapper reached an agreement with Adidas.
Kanye’s Yeezy brand will not be designing new shoes but will instead assist in the sale of the current ones.
Adidas lost over $1 billion (over N459b) after they made the decision, and they have been in talks to bring back the rapper, according to Highsnobiety.
‘Reports say Adidas & Ye have reached an agreement. No new Yeezy branded designs. Only selling current Yeezy branded products that Adidas cannot sell without Ye. No update on future after these are sold. Pirate Blacks will be one of the first release.’
Adidas ended its partnership with Ye late last year over his antisemitic comments, saying it ‘doesn’t tolerate antisemitism’.
Even though Adidas or Kanye West have not in anyway responded to the reports, Kanye’s fans have taken to social media to celebrate the reported news.

‘It’s funny they couldn’t sell without him. I keep saying, never try to destroy the mouth that kept you on the map. I knew the day would come when they’ll reach out to him. You can’t cancel what God himself has not cancelled, it’s never possible.’
