adidas Yeezy
Yeezy shoes are one of the most recognizable footwear brands in the world. The designer behind the shoes is Kanye West – an American rapper and music producer who, together with adidas, launched a series of unique models that became not only fashion icons but also cult objects of desire for sneaker fans. The Yeezy brand was founded in 2015 and has gained huge popularity around the world since then.
The history of Yeezy sneakers
Yeezy x adidas shoes are one of the most recognizable footwear brands in the world. The collaboration between Kanye West and adidas is the most successful partnership in footwear history. Since the release of the first shoe in 2015, the founder of the Yeezy brand and adidas have revolutionized the sneaker game, introducing a new approach to modern footwear design that emphasizes comfort and versatility. And it all started with the adidas Yeezy Boost 350.
Debuting in 2015, the Yeezy Boost 350 was not the first adidas x Yeezy model, but it is the brand's most popular shoe. The original Yeezy Boost 350 was released in several classic colorways, including Turtle Dove and Moon Rock.
Innovative Yeezy shoes
Then, in 2016, Ye and adidas released an updated version of these sneakers called the adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2. The model features a woven Primeknit upper with the SPLY-350 lettering on the side and other additional modifications that the Yeezy 350 of that time didn't have. Thanks to this light refresh, Yeezy gained popularity and managed to keep the status of adidas Yeezy sneakers high in the rankings of limited-edition footwear.
Yeezy shoes, like the Yeezy 350 model, were released in limited quantities and colorways. Very quickly, the sneakers sold out, and the manufacturer began planning further releases. Some of the most sought-after Yeezy Boost 350 V2 colorways are Beluga, Bred, Static and many more. The Yeezy Boost 350 V2 is offered in many neon colors, which was typical of the adidas Yeezy line at that time.
After the release of the Yeezy Boost 350 V2, West and adidas began creating more interesting collectible releases, including the Yeezy 500, Yeezy 700 and Yeezy Slide, as well as the adidas Yeezy Foam Runner. Each model helped the adidas x Yeezy brand reach the top while creating new trends in sneakers.
The Yeezy Boost 700 “Wave Runner” colorway, which premiered in 2017, is credited with creating the hype around “dad shoes.” The Yeezy 500, meanwhile, have a retro-modern design that uses technology from archival '90s adidas basketball shoes, and they contributed to the growing popularity of chunky, vintage-inspired sneakers.
Lately, the Yeezy Slide and Yeezy Foam Runner have been driving a trend that also includes slip-ons and slides. So the Yeezy range has something for anyone looking for summer footwear, too.
Men's Yeezy shoes
The collaboration between Kanye and adidas will go down in history as one of the most influential collaborations in footwear. Although both parties have now moved on to other ventures, they will forever remain linked in the sneaker world.
SneakersJoint is one of the best sources of Yeezy sneakers from Kanye West and adidas in Poland.
Why are Yeezy sneakers an exclusive product?
One reason Yeezy are considered an exclusive and expensive product on the resale market is that the shoes are highly limited – the number of pairs in each raffle was very small.
Not everyone could buy Yeezy models straight from the manufacturer. That's because raffles were held on the adidas website or in the adidas app, where you could win the chance to buy a specific pair of Yeezy. Millions of people from around the world enter these raffles, which take place every so often. So you need to be really lucky to buy a pair this way at the original price.
Are Yeezy shoes still being produced?
No. At the end of 2022, the company ended its partnership with Kanye West and no longer produces new Yeezy sneakers. Although adidas Yeezy shoes are no longer made, you can still buy many Yeezy models at SneakersJoint.
How much do Yeezy cost?
adidas Yeezy are available at SneakersJoint in many colors. The price depends mainly on the model, colorway and size. Popular, versatile versions – like the Yeezy Boost 350 V2 “Bone” – are usually easier to get than the rarest colorways and unusual sizes, for which you pay more on the resale market. You can check the current price of each pair on the product page.
