Kanye West is launching a brand new trio of sneakers, collectively referred to as the Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2. These were first revealed a month ago and were originally going to roll out on Black Friday. However, they will be released on Nov. 23 instead, ahead of Black Friday and Thanksgiving.
Neither Kanye West nor Adidas has yet to confirm why the shoes were given an earlier release date, but it is likely to avoid having to cut their prices down for the holiday shopping spree.
According to Hot New Hip Hop, the sneakers will be made available for $220 a pair. All three feature a black knit upper design but each one features a different secondary color for the horizontal streak. These secondary colors come in red, copper, and olive green. On each colored streak a mirrored print of "SPLY-350" is featured.
The pair with the Copper streak is officially labeled BY1605, the pair with the Green streak is labeled BY9611, and the pair with the red streak is labeled BY9612. For consumers aiming to purchase these shoes from third-party retail stores, these will be the labels that they should look for.
The report further states the specific details for reservations, but it is explained that consumers may be able to make reservations by Monday, Nov. 21. They will be made available for purchase via Adidas Originals retail stores and through the Adidas Confirmed app on mobile devices.
Metro reports that fans should expect the sneakers to go out of sale quickly. This is because Yeezy shoes sell for high prices when re-sold online on sites like eBay.
The report points out that the previous Yeezy sneakers, which were gray with an orange streak, had sold out in minutes and are now being re-sold for very high prices. Another stated example is the Adidas Red October shoes which are now reportedly being sold for over $3,700 online.
