Kanye Omari West better known as “Ye” has made a fortune out of his popular and successful footwear company, “Yeezy”, which he fully owns. In 2013, Adidas and Ye revealed their partnership, which was said to be worth, $10 million at the time. Over the years this collaboration has been producing great merchandise and making big sales. We are going to take a look at my top ten Adidas Yeezy shoes.
Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Carbon
The Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Carbon was released in October 2020. Interestingly, these Yeezy’s feature all of the usual aspects that have made the style so popular. These include breathable Primeknit solid black mesh with its trademark side stripe, ribbed patterned off-white midsole, and classic boost cushioning. The suggested retail price is $220 USD.
Yeezy Boost 380 Calcite Glow
These sneakers glow! Forget the fact that they are Yeezy’s. That has been the most eye-catching feature of the shoe and that alone has grabbed the attention of sneaker heads.
With the Adidas Yeezy Boost 380 Calcite Glow, glow-in-the-dark skins are incorporated in the midsoles, along with digi-camo Primeknit designs. Therefore, making this edition stand out from the rest of the previously released colorways. The suggested retail price is $250 USD.
Yeezy Slides
The Adidas Yeezy Slides were first debuted in 2019. They are injected with EVA foam, which makes these slip-ons comfortable, durable, lightweight, flexible and the list goes on. These slides are adored by many Yeezy fans, they have sold out each and every time they have been released. Most owners of these slides have gone to say that the slides are convenient, they work with most outfits and they are extremely comfortable to be in. Retail price suggested for adults is $55 USD, kids and toddlers pricing ranges around $35 to $45 USD.
Adidas Yeezy 500 High Slate
These sneakers debuted in December 2019. The features in these Adidas Yeezy 500 high slate include a layered suede and a couple of leather elements. Laces seal the tongue of the shoe and a mudguard strengthens the fender. In addition to that, it is quite padded which is an advantage because that makes it comfortable. Subsequently, the shoe quality is great. The recommended retail price is $220 USD.
Adidas Yeezy 700 V3 Alvah
The Adidas Yeezy 700 V3 Alvah has a grey striped monofilament black technical mesh foundation with a matching RPU dynamic cage overlay for a triple-black aesthetic. Apart from the glow-in-the-dark cage, the upper has a suede toe cap and a standard lacing system that conceals the 3M reflective detailing on the padded tongue. The shoe includes a snug black neoprene sockliner that conforms to the curve of the foot. An EVA foam midsole is wrapped in a black Three Stripes stamped polyurethane shell with a matching rubber outsole, elevating the shoe. These were debuted in April 2020 and recommended retail price is set at $200 USD.
Adidas YEEZY 500 “Enflame”
These were first debuted in May 2021, with a set retail price of $200 USD. A timeless piece of streetwear. Adidas Yeezy 500 Enflame, a new colorway of the Yeezy 500, features a paneled pattern with brown, cream, and navy tones, all blended into a Yeezy Primeknit upper and sitting upon a distinctive rubber sole. Furthermore, these shoes have a touch of military style. Above all, they are pretty unique, but aren’t all the Yeezy’s?
Adidas YEEZY QNTM “Flash Orange
The Yeezy Quantum’s are said to be quite comfortable. They are suitable and pretty ideal for playing some basketball in them, they are recommended. This colorway features a splash of orange lines, with black being the dominant color and a simple outsole. Did I mention that they are very easy to style? That is to say, they just work, whether it is your denim, or joggers. Retail price is set at $250 USD.
YEEZY Basketball Knit “Energy Glow” sneakers
Seeing that we have already touched on the basketball topic, let us get into these beautiful Energy glow Yeezy’s. Firstly, I was in complete awe when I first got a glimpse of these, they debuted on the NBA All Star weekend. These sneakers have a sock-like collar for comfort around the ankles. 3M reflective detailing taking over much of the sneaker’s lower heel and a translucent midsole. The colors include hints of grey and beige with electric lime/yellow being the dominant color.
Adidas Yeezy Knit RNR Sulfar Boots
These shoes were first debuted in November 2021 and instantly sold out online. These were mostly liked and favored by Ye’s fans and followers. The Yeezy’s, better known as Yeezy KNT RNR BT have a very distinctive look, with its bright colors and silhouette. Not forgetting the waterproof ankle collar that most probably reaches your calves and that wavy outsole. This shoe sold for $400 USD.
Adidas Yeezy Knit Runner
The Adidas Yeezy Knit Runner are basically a summer version of the Adidas Yeezy Knit RNR Sulfar Boots. Above all, they are both knitted. A majority of the sneaker heads out there found this shoe to be strange, yet they went on to purchase them. These sneakers sold out. The retail price is $200 which is much considering the simplicity of the shoe.
