Adidas managing to shift those Yeezy shoes second quarter sales falling 5% in euro terms. Those Yeezy shoes did help to release a lot of the anxiety that investors had over whether or not Adidas could pull off this hat trick. The sales of the shoes helped its profit margin increase as well. So how much did Adidas make out of the sale of the surplus shoes?

Well, 400 million euros was the figure quoted for the quarter. And this helped Adidas effectively cut its predicted loss for the year to 450 million euros.
