Adidas' Yeezy Boost collection has been enjoying a successful year so far and the latest proof to this was when the Yeezy Boost 350 Moonrock design was released on Saturday, Nov. 14.
Fans of the footwear reportedly started queuing stores as early as Tuesday morning in Milan, per Footwear News. But the demand for the sneakers was also high in other places that some retailers devised a raffle system so that distribution to consumers would be a breeze. When the actual release date came, many stores claimed they were immediately sold out within a matter of hours, per Footwear News in another story.
Retailers such as Barneys and Mr. Porter were forced to issue apologies on their Twitter accounts addressed to footwear enthusiasts who were not able to score a pair, but some promised there will be more Yeezy release information.
Sneaker News reported that Adidas is already teasing the release of the Yeezy Boost 750 and the assumption is that this collection will be coming to stores on Dec. 5. The news outlet also said that the upcoming 750 releases will feature an all-black pair along an all-white gum pair. Photos of the 750 apparently leaked from a JrSole Instagram account despite no confirmation from the shoe manufacturer.
GQ also reported Dec. 5 as the release date for the 750, but the men's magazine added that the date is still just a speculation. But should it happen, it will be the second design from this collection. The first Yeezy Boost 750 release was a gray colorway, which came out in February.
Price for these latest pairs have not been confirmed as well, but the last 750 release was at $350.
The Yeezy Boost are designed by music artist Kanye West who first released these for commercial sales in 2009 through Nike, reported Complex. The design concept of the Yeezy Boost became an instant favorite despite its new entry in the market, but when Kanye switched partnership with Addidas, the brand's popularity and sales increased.
Per Nice Kicks searches for "Yeezy" is more popular on the internet than searchers for "Jordans," Nike's most famous line of footwear. Because of Yeezy Boost, Kanye was acknowledged and awarded the "Shoe of the Year Award," per New York Magazine.
The Yeezy Boost 350 is of low-cut design, while the Yeezy Boost 750 has a high-cut design. There's also a Yeezy Boost 950 collection, which resembles army boots and is dubbed as the brand's most controversial pair, per Global Grind.
