Yeezy 450: The latest addition to Kanye West’s Adidas shoe range went on sale in less than a minute after being released on Saturday morning
First observation: The Yeezy 450 was offered for sale in Cloud White after first attracting attention in 2020 when the 43-year-old rapper was spotted with the stranger-like silhouette in Paris.
Kanye wore the bizarre shoes while roaming the French city in March last year.
He was in town to debut his Yeezy Fall 2020 Ready-to-Wear collection, and the abstract proportions of the shoe immediately unleashed numerous memes online.
The model finally reached a wider audience a year later – for those who were lucky enough to snatch a few.
High question: despite the numerous jokes about the new shoe, it flew off the shelves before most fans could even sign up with the Adidas app or YeezySupply.com to get some of their own
Despite the jokes, the demand for the article was clearly huge, as all pairs disappeared before most fans could even log on to the Adidas app or YeezySupply.com to get their own.
The Yeezy 450s sell for 200 euros per pair and adopt a gray-beige, fully knitted construction for a sock-like fit.
But all the conversations around the shoe focused on the rib-like shape of his exoskeleton.
Unfortunately for those who cannot buy a pair, it is now resold for as much as $ 800.
Missed chance: sneakerheads who were unable to buy a pair of their own would have to shell out $ 200 per pair of retail, might have to shell out $ 800 at resale sites.
Shoe Designer: Kanye introduced his first Yeezy shoe in 2009 and quickly grabbed the sneaker game, with popular releases such as the Air Yeezy 2 SP ‘Red October’ in 2014
‘YEEZY 450 version was a bit of BS. 15 minutes of ‘you’re in the waiting room, do not refresh’, while the page refreshes itself until it’s sold out, ‘tweeted one irritated fan.
‘Release @ 07:00, sold out at 07:01. People hate this shoe all year long, but never keep the same energy on Friday # yeezy450, ” another said.
Kanye teased these sneakers for the first time in the summer of 2018 on social media with sketches of the much-discussed design.
This long-awaited drop is one of the nine styles that Adidas will release from its Yeezy range during the month.
Personal battle: Kanye has his successful ventures to distract him from his breakup with Kim Kardashian, who filed for divorce last month after nearly seven years of marriage.
