Adidas said Friday (July 28) that it is releasing a second batch of high-end Yeezy sneakers after cutting ties with rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, as the German sportswear brand seeks to unload the unsold shoes while donating to groups fighting antisemitism.

The online sale, to start Wednesday (Aug 2) through Adidas smartphone apps and its website, follows an earlier set of sales in May.
