Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Core Black Red Men

In its earliest days, lack of infrastructure plagued Ye’s Three Stripes venture from reaching the production numbers that he had hoped for (and believed he had earned) while in partnership with NIKE, Inc. Quick to bet on himself and adidas‘ word, the former-“Mr. West” proclaimed that eventually, Yeezys would be readily available to all who wanted them. The inaugural Yeezy 750 and Yeezy 350 left many consumers skeptical about Ye’s promise; even follow-ups two years removed – like the Yeezy Boost 350 v2 “Core Red” that dropped ahead of Black Friday 2016 – made the “Yeezus” artist’s statements seem empty, but handfuls of restocks, larger production numbers and decreases in price have helped fulfilled his promise over the last four years.

Highlights

• “Zebra,” “Utility Black” and “Waverunner” colorways of some popular Yeezys have helped make the brand ubiquitous, with countless fans still eager for some of its most limited offerings to return
• Come Spring 2022, it seems the “Black Friday” 350 v2 trio that dropped six years ago will return as the “Core White” (often referred to as “Oreo“) style is rumored to accompany the red-striped Primeknit option that instantly sold out on November 23rd, 2016 in a first-ever restock run
• Some fans of the pairs have lost interest in them as the v2 has saturated the market over the last six years, but those who are still interested will surely enjoy the moment as a reissue will mean they don’t have to pay over four times the shoes’ retail price.
