If you’re a big fan of Kanye West, like we are, then you must certainly know that on August 1st and 2nd is the biggest holiday of the year – Yeezy Day. Proclaimed by Ye himself in 2019, the Yeezy Day started off as a way for adidas and Yeezy to get rid of old stock, but also an opportunity for everyone to secure the signature Yeezy pieces. Following the last year’s many releases and re-releases, this year Yeezy and adidas decided to go back to the roots and bring back among others the 350s that started it all. The rumors swirling around state that 20 silhouettes will be presented at the beginning of august. Among the numerous sneakers releases, the rumored Yeezy Slide ‘Flax’ is set to be released in the wake of Kanye’s feud with adidas over his famous slides design.
SNEAKERS
DSCENE team prepared a list of the best releases we expect to see during the celebration of Yeezy Day:
Yeezy Foam Runner ‘MX Cream Clay’
Maybe the most famous slip-on sneaker, Foam Runner returns in a swirling blend of brown and grey on a signature beige surface. The clog like silhouette first worn by North West, split the sneaker fans into two worlds, the ones who absolutely adore it, and the ones resenting the fit. The shoe is crafted from a combination of lightweight EVA and hydroponically produced algae. The ventilation ports of varying sizes provide breathable comfort and ensure foot to be locked in a place. If you had trouble finding them anywhere, prepare for the Yeezy holiday and cop yours at GOAT.
Yeezy Boost 700 ‘Wave Runner’
Originally released in 2017, the Wave Runner continues to stay at the top of Kanye’s best selling kicks. The sneakers feature retro-inspired lines with a chunky silhouette. This sneaker drew inspiration form the earlier years when bulky fits where the must-have. The fit also brought the movement of the so called ‘dad shoes’. The colourways of this sneaker range from grey mesh base to bright blue and teal on the forefoot and pops of black and orange.
Yeezy Boost 350 V2 ‘Zebra’
One of the fan favorites, Yeezy Boost 350 V2 in Zebra is set to release on Yeezy Day.

Yeezy 700 V3 ‘Azael’
If you’re a fan of Kanye’s futuristic ideas, Yeezy 700 V3 is a perfect choice for you. Steering away from his retro-inspired pieces, Kanye created this fit and it most certainly became one of the fastest selling sneaker. The initial drop of the ‘Azael’ colorway has been very limited and resale prices skyrocketed aking them unaffordable for most of the Ye’s true fans. The black neoprene bootie featured a notched collar and striped textile underlay encased in a sculpted, open-work cage. The lacing is integrated, and it provides a perfect fit. The piece is set to be re-relased on the first day of Yeezy celebration, with a price of 300$.
