German sports retailer Adidas plans to keep selling stock from its "Yeezy" range launched with controversial rapper Kanye West even after splitting with him, and will donate the proceeds to charity, the company said.

A "significant amount" is to be donated to organizations that work against discrimination and hatred, including racism and anti-Semitism, Adidas said on Friday at its Bavarian headquarters in Herzogenaurach.
