Ex-Yeezy COO says it's a 'smart move' for Adidas to sell leftover stock and donate proceeds to charity

• The former COO of Yeezy says it's a "smart move" for Adidas not to burn leftover Yeezy stock. 
• Adidas said Thursday it'll sell its Yeezy stock and donate profits to charities hurt by Kanye West.
• The company previously estimated that this inventory would cost it $1.3 billion in sales.

The former COO of Yeezy commended Adidas' decision to donate profits from forthcoming Yeezy sales to charity.

More than six months after severing ties with Kanye West – also known as Ye – Adidas confirmed Thursday that it plans to sell these products rather than destroy them.
