Kanye West is back at it again with another new colorway of his collaboration with Adidas, the Yeezy Boost 350 V2. It was released last Saturday, December 19, via electronic raffle in the Adidas app and I was lucky to get a pair.

Dubbed as “ S A N D T A U P E “, this new colorway symbolizes the Pantones of a desert, combines a multitude of the different earth tones.

Kanye named this colorway as “ E L I A D A “ which is Hebrew for “God is knowing” but he dipped the biblical names during release this year.

DESIGN

The prime knit upper arrives in updated fashion with no heel tab and translucent strip while pitching on a different shades of brown. The tonal midsole and rubber outsole that finishes the new look.

The shoes itself has infinity laces but it comes with an extra 3M reflective regular laces.

Packaging: Comes in a regular yeezy shoe box with labels on the side.

Estimated Resell Value

Although we’ve seen a lot of similar colorways of the 350’s like this before, at the end of the day it’s still a pair of yeezys and it will sell out.

The estimated resell value in Canada would probably go up by 35% from its retail value. A gross profit of 80 CAD to 100 CAD.

CONCLUSION

Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Sand Taupe

Retail Price: 300 CAD plus applicable taxes

Estimated Resell Value: 380 CAD - 450 CAD

Okay, so it arrived, as you guys know about my addiction with shoes that’s on the shades of white. Its quite a while now since I purchased my first of Adidas boost(ZX 500 RM). It wasn’t a plan for me to get a yeezy but oh well, my raffle won anyways. What happened was I had a notification from my Adidas app that they are dropping a new 350 yeezys during my birthday week, so I entered the raffle thinking out of thousands joining there’ll be a thin chance of getting picked and completely forgot about it. Then last Friday, as I was working, I received a confirmation email regarding my order from Adidas. At first, I thought my credit card has been used for some fraud or scam(LMAO) and then everything sinks in, my first ever yeezy sneakers on its way. Yay!

I live in Canada, don’t really get it why it is so hard to cop a pair of nice shoes since last year. LOL Well, today I got a UPS mail heading to my address from Paris, Ontario.

A quick advice though, if you just want to cop a nice shoes, unique ones or collab, try to get them within the country(Canada). It is for the reason of — DUTIES, DUTIES, DUTIES. Your customs duty fees will be almost the amount of the shoes itself.

Got so excited to cop this one cause its been hard to get one lately this year. I remember how hard it is to get a pair of Converse X A-Cold-Wall hight tops shoes last month. Sizes got sold out after 5 minutes when the ACW site did a pre-release and during the official release date.

Well, let’s do a review!

Got it from Adidas.ca site and it was shipped after 48 hours. It was raining non-stop and the way the packed it was a little bit alright. A little bit wet since it was left in the porch.

They used infinity shoelaces and if you don’t like how it does when wearing it then you need to cut it and you can use the regular shoelaces that comes with it. The down side about it is that you can’t really tighten it. For me I think I understand the design, it might be the reason why the shoe sizes are a bit tighter maybe because they are trying to get rid of shoe laces few years from now… maybe?… just like my pharells I really haven’t adjusted or use its laces for a while. lol.

Based on the 350’s predecessors, haven’t really seen pull tabs lately from this design. Been a while now that they removed it out the design.

The only thing that made me sign up for this purchase is because of its color way even yeezy released like a hundred of colorways over this design. Its just hard for me to get excited with this one for the reason that I’ve seen so much colorways. The only question for me is that why did they released this mid Fall? 350s are usually a spring/summer sneakers. The color is of this one is a bit earthy and somewhat like the sesame and cream ones.

Overall, I would give this shoe an 8/10. I like it since it fit perfectly, and I kinda like the idea of not tying any laces on, and definitely the color way.
