Adidas split with Ye in October in the wake of repeated antisemitic comments.
  • Investors sued Adidas over its failed Kanye West deal, arguing it didn't properly manage the risk. 
  • Adidas called the claims "unfounded" and said it will "vigorously" defend itself.
  • The sportswear company, under new CEO Bjørn Gulden, is focused on a brand reset. 

Investors filed a potential class-action lawsuit against Adidas on Friday, arguing the company didn't adequately manage the risks in its partnership with the artist Ye, formerly known as Kanye West.
