Adidas brought in €400 million from the first release of Yeezy trainers left over after breaking ties with Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West.

The news comes as the German sportswear maker tries to offload the unsold shoes and donate part of the proceeds to groups fighting antisemitism and other forms of hate.
