It looks like Kanye West‘s long-awaited adidas sneaker collaboration is coming very soon. Apparently, West’s barber and stylist, Ibn Jasper, got the green light to share on his Instagram page this year’s hottest sneaker release.
The shoe falls in line with previous Yeezy sneakers as it features that signature midfoot strap but the look sets itself apart thanks to the tooling along the boost outsole. Those ridges feel like a subtle nod to the lines that mod down the ankle of the Nike Air Yeezy 2.
The kicks also flip the three stripes branding by putting it inside of the strap. They have a bit of a moccasin look to them based on the use of suede and the lacing system, which makes the use of grey a nice overall contrast.
Jasper has hashtagged the shoe #YeezyBoost, which could either be his nickname for them or quite possibly the name of the shoe itself. Regardless of what West wants to call them, the drop feels like he’s taking the soul of his overall sneaker design and fleshing it out into something totally unique.
It’s rumored that ‘Ye’s full adidas collection will be revealed during New York Fashion Week and based on the Yeezy.supply countdown there is probably some truth to the speculation.
We suggest that you download the adidas’ reservation app so that you don’t miss your shot at copping West’s new sneaker.
