I don't see either of those having anything to do with this; when they dropped him, they agreed that if they sold the remaining stock of shoes, he would still get his fee. All they did was honor the original contract. If they didn't sell them, they'd lose money. If they didn't pay him, he could sue them. This isn't some kind of point proven or vindication, just business.Its undisputed proof that he ain't cancelled. It also shows that all the posturing Adidas did for the media was nothing more than virtue signaling.
