9/12/2023 0 Comments Yeezy 350 zebra styleI’m not sure why, there is still plastic in there, but I did confirm it with an Adidas rep before posting this review. It is worth noting, while every other adidas line has started to include Parley plastic – pulled from the sea – Yeezys still do not use any recycled plastic. Starting with the upper, Adidas’ used their primeknit throughout. The Yeezy 350 V2 Zebra is made just like all the other early 350 V2s – a fairly simple design overall. Still, that’s a fairly minor gripe, and one most people won’t notice unless you’re really getting some steps in. Typically, when this happens you can tighten the laces to give you some lock down, but the laces here are pretty much only for show. The higher heel stack, narrow toe, and structure on the toebox all combine to push your foot slightly forward. That being said, I would still put the 350 V2 below its Ultraboost brother, mostly due to the shape. The primeknit upper isn’t that bad either, easily stretching to the shape of your foot in most places, it’s sock-like fit is nailed down. On the 350’s they turned it all the way to soft. Adidas can mess with the blend to change the balance between responsiveness and softness. A lot of people don’t know this, but there isn’t just one kind of boost. While not quite up there with the Ultraboost or some of the most recent foam technology from other brands, the Yeezy 350 V2 Zebra is still one of the most comfortable sneakers you can buy today. For that reason alone, I wouldn’t buy these anywhere but from Adidas directly or from eBay where you can message the seller. Without contacting the seller directly, you have no idea which run you’re getting – and if it’ll fit you. What makes this particularly dangerous is that Adidas and most resell sites treat each run as the same model. If you get a run from 2019 you’ll likely want to size up a half size. From 2019/2020, the Zebras began to use this sizing. While still running smaller than most Adidas sneakers, it was more like a half size – or even true to size if you like a 1-to-1 fit. In 2019, around when Adidas was adding the plastic stripes to the side, the brand tried to bring a bit more sanity to the 350 V2 sizing. If you’re buying a pair from the 2017 or 2018 run, you’ll likely want to size up a full size. Not sure if this was to play a joke on the guys who bought the V1s which ran large, but most people needed to size up an entire full size from most of their Adidas sneakers. When the 350 V2 first came out, they were incredibly small. The Yeezy 350 V2 Zebra has different sizes depending on the run. If you read nothing else in this review – please read this. Tight toe box, also check out the different types of stitches There are slight differences between builds – most importantly sizing – so try and figure out which run you’re buying if you can. With the price range being what it is, is now the time to pick up a pair? Let’s take a look.īy the way, this pair is from the most recent Yeezy Day restock, made 1/2022. At the same time, these restocks have brought the pricing down from the truly astronomical resale they had 5 years ago, to something mere mortals can afford. Some of them were Asia exclusives, but still – that’s quite a run for a hyped sneaker.ĭespite that, there were plenty of people who didn’t hit on any of them – your author included. The Zebra is the most restocked Yeezy of all time – releasing in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022. However, it’s in-your-face style combined with being the first model that had more than a handful of pairs available means that for a lot of people the Yeezy 350 V2 Zebra was the first time they started to see them out on the street.Īdidas, of course, knows this better than anyone else. The 350 V2 Zebra wasn’t the first V2 to come out. The Jordan 1? The Chicago comes first (don’t even try Bred fans – check the resale). When you think of a New Balance 990, you think of the Grey colorway. This isn’t always the first colorway that came out, but it’s the one that probably pops into your mind first. There are a few sneakers that have a colorway that seems to define them.
