Adidas will donate proceeds from the sale of Kanye West’s Yeezys shoes to the Anti-Defamation League and a nonprofit founded by George Floyd’s brother
“After careful consideration, we have decided to begin releasing some of the remaining Adidas Yeezy products,” Gulden inFriday. “Selling and donating was the preferred option among all organizations and stakeholders we spoke to. There is no place in sport or society for hate of any kind and we remain committed to fighting against it.”
“At a time when antisemitism has reached historic levels in the U.S. and is rising globally, we appreciate how adidas turned a negative situation into a very positive outcome. They have shown real thoughtfulness in engaging with community organizations working to combat this pernicious and stubborn hatred,” ADL CEO Jonathan A. Greenblatt added in a statement.
“Their leadership, in not only condemning anti-Jewish hate but lending their support for education and other initiatives, is exemplary and a model for other public companies to emulate. We thank them for their ongoing dialogue around their remaining inventory and their vested interest in tackling issues of prejudice and hate.”
