Adidas has dropped vocal pro-Palestinian model Bella Hadid from an advertising campaign for retro trainers referencing the 1972 Munich Olympics, which were overshadowed by a massacre of Israeli athletes, following outcry over her views.

The German sportswear giant recently relaunched the SL72, a shoe first showcased by athletes at the 1972 Olympics, as part of a series reviving old classic trainers.

Eleven Israeli athletes and a German police officer were killed at the 1972 Munich Games after gunmen from the Palestinian Black September group broke into the Olympic village and took them hostage.
