The Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 is Kanye West’s second version of the 350, being first released in 2016. The Yeezy line has been popular amongst the younger, more hip generation as the hypebeast culture has loved Kanye since he was with Nike making the Air Yeezy models. This colorway offers a mesh, mostly black and grey zig zag upper, with an off-white, yellowed sole giving it a clean look that will go with most outfits. This sneaker releases on October 3rd, at a price of $220. You have to be quick with these because every Yeezy usually sells out within minutes, as resellers try to make a quick buck. You can buy these on Adidas.com. If you strike out on release date, resale sites such as StockX and Goat will be sure to have a healthy supply of these.
