With or without Ye, Yeezys sell faster than Adidas can handle

• Adidas has cashed in on surplus Yeezy stock, after terminating its contract with Kanye West last year.
• The footwear giant received over $560 million in orders for inventory it had originally planned to write off. 
• This will go some way to ease the German footwear brand's financial woes – after it warned earlier this year it could make a rare operating loss. 

It's been nine months since Adidas cut ties with the rapper formerly known as Kanye West over his anti-semitic remarks, but that has done little to damp demand for his signature shoes.
