Yeezy Boost 350 V2 ‘MX Rock’

Yeezy returned to the Earth-toned palette with the Yeezy 700 V3 Clay Brown. The Clay Brown slightly resembles the Alvah with its primarily black look. But instead of a completely muted upper, it dons lighter earth tones, adding contrast throughout the silhouette. The Yeezy 700 V3 Clay Brown features a black engineered mesh upper with light brown streaks running along the side encompassed by a signature translucent cage unit. A thick EVA foam midsole, reinforced toe cap, and 3M detailing on the forefoot complete this futuristic look.

This inaugural colorway of Kanye West’s Yeezy Wave Runner 700 launched in November 2017, following a public debut earlier in the year as part of the Yeezy Season 5 runway show. The sneaker’s retro-inspired lines worked in tandem with a chunky silhouette reminiscent of an earlier era. A mesh base is finished in grey on the quarter panels and bright blue and teal on the forefoot. Suede overlays arrive on the toe and heel accented grey leather eyestays. Other details include neon green laces, a bulky white midsole, and pops of black and bright orange.

Kanye West and adidas launched the Yeezy 500 ‘Utility Black’ in July 2018. The retro-inspired silhouette counterbalances its bulky form with a sleek, all-black design. What sets this colorway apart from the standard triple-black finish is a singular use of tone – it’s a semi-faded black that coats the combination mesh and suede upper, as opposed to the pitch-black variety that’s more common in the sneaker firmament.

Seen as the successor to the first Yeezy 700 that debuted at Kanye West’s 2017 Yeezy Season 5 show, the Yeezy Boost 700 V2 sneaker maintains elements of the original while updating it with a sleeker profile. Released in June 2019, the 'Vanta' edition brings an all-over black hue to its multi-layered mesh upper with suede overlays. Below, full-length adidas Boost technology cushions the foot, encapsulated within the 700's distinct chunky sole.
