Sure, Kanye West and adidas have a slew of new YEEZY releases in store for the remainder of the year, but it doesn't stop there. A massive restock is also on the docket for the weeks and months ahead, awarding you with yet another opportunity to snag past YEEZY drops.
It's no secret that Kanye has flooded the marketplace with colorway after colorway since the first adidas YEEZY sneaker released in 2015. Yet while launches have been frequent over the years, it has remained difficult to get a hold of most YEEZYs due to limited supply and insanely high resale prices. West has set out to remedy this more recently, however, declaring YEEZYs for all, and a part of that is restocking previously released iterations.
Beginning May 29, some of the most sought-after YEEZYs will be available once again, meaning you'll have a second shot — or third or fourth, in some cases — at landing coveted drops like the reflective YEEZY Boost 350 V2s, OG YEEZY Boost 700 "Wave Runner," and Foam Runners, just to name a few. To help you better determine which pair(s) to spend your money on, we've ranked each sneaker YEEZY is restocking in 2021.
Read on for our ranking of every YEEZY restocking in 2021.
10. adidas YEEZY Slide "Soot" and "Pure"
Release Date: September 2021 and November 2021
Price: $60
Editor’s Notes: YEEZY Slides are cool and all, but for the most part, the colorways are a little boring. This is precisely our issue with the "Soot" and "Pure" makeups, but don't worry, there are more colorways waiting to be restocked, including one that draws a bit more attention (continue reading below to find out which one).
9. adidas YEEZY Boost 700 MNVN "Orange" and "Triple Black"
Release Date: August 2021
Price: $220
Editor’s Notes: We must admit, we've never really been drawn to the YEEZY Boost 700 MNVN. Don't get us wrong, there are some nice colorways, but something about the upper just isn't all that appealing. Still, if YOU like the silhouette, the orange pair will certainly catch some eyeballs, and you can never really go wrong with a triple black look.
8. adidas YEEZY Boost 350 V2 "Tail Light," "Black Static," "Cloud White" and "Synth"
Release Date: August 2021
Price: $220 for the "Tail Light" and $250 for the reflective models
Editor’s Notes: There have been way too many colorways of the YEEZY Boost 350 V2 — there, we said it — which is why these rank a little low on our list. In looking at the positives, though, the pop of orange on the aptly dubbed "Tail Light" is a subtle design element that we're here for. Also, the reflective details on the "Black Static," "Cloud White," and "Synth" pairs are no doubt alluring.
7. adidas YEEZY Desert Boot "Oil" and "Rock"
Release Date: September 2021
Price: $200
Editor’s Notes: We're pretty stoked the YEEZY Desert Boot is returning in September just in time for fall. With their monochromatic looks, both the "Oil" and Rock" colorways give heavy military vibes, especially the latter. Seeing as Kanye has released a slew of sneakers but not all that many boots, we definitely recommend taking advantage of this restock.
6. adidas YEEZY Slide "Resin," "Pure" and "Core"
Release Date: June 21
Price: $60
Editor’s Notes: See, we told you the Slides would be back in the rankings. You're probably wondering, though — why do these rank higher than the first set. It's pretty simple: the "Resin" colorway. That light green is just banging. You should for sure own a pair.
5. adidas YEEZY Boost 700 "Wave Runner"
Release Date: August 2021
Price: $240
Editor’s Notes: Chances are, when you think back to the early days of YEEZY, the YEEZY Boost 700 "Wave Runner" comes to mind. Thankfully, the pair is slated to return in OG form for anyone looking to add to their collection or simply re-up. Call it a gut feeling, but we could easily see these being referred to as classics one day.
4. adidas YEEZY Boost 350 V2 "Blue Tint"
Release Date: November 2021
Price: $220
Editor’s Notes: Yes, we may have slightly dogged the YEEZY Boost 350 V2 earlier, but our personal faves incorporate the zebra print on the upper. We're also just really into this colorway in general, with the subtle hints of light blue and the complementary red branding. This is definitely the best YEEZY Boost 350 V2 being restocked in 2021 (so far).
3. adidas YEEZY 500 "Blush"
Release Date: November 2021
Price: $200
Editor’s Notes: Come November, it will be the first time the YEEZY 500 "Blush" has been restocked. This silhouette just looks so good in a monochromatic colorway, don't you think? We're a big fan of the versatility of the YEEZY 500, as you can really wear it with pretty much anything.
2. adidas YEEZY Foam Runner "Sand"
Release Date: May 29
Price: $80
Editor’s Notes: Maybe it's because we're just now getting into the warm weather season when sneaker alternatives are a must, but the YEEZY Foam Runner is one of our favorite silhouettes at the moment. It's just a damn cool looking shoe, and we also find it rather intriguing that it's partially made from algae. Often imitated — and yes, there are some good ones out there (we see you, Merrell) — but none quite live up to the real thing. Grab yourself a pair of Foam Runners if you haven't yet.
1. adidas YEEZY 450 "Cloud White"
Release Date: September 2021
Price: $200
Editor’s Notes: The YEEZY 450 just might be Kanye's most polarizing design ever. And having released for the first time in March, there's a good chance you still haven't seen it out and about yet. In the name of scarcity, we've ranked it number one on our list. Now you might be thinking, "what in the hell do I wear it with?" And to that we say, get creative — this is a tough one. Still, there is nothing else out there quite like the YEEZY 450, and we can't help but salute a pioneer.
