The sneaker’s debut came in 2015 with the launch of the highly-anticipated Turtle Dove colorway. Just over a year later came the 350’s second iteration - the V2 - which has undeniably sprouted into one of the most popular and iconic silhouettes in modern day sneaker culture.

Kanye and Adidas’ hybrid lifestyle running shoe has evolved greatly since its inception, having been dressed in both classic and daring color schemes and transforming from V1 to where we are today with the V3. While not everyone’s cup of tea, the Yeezy 700 continues to make its dent on the sneaker world while showcasing Kanye’s incredible brand power.

First released in December 2017 as a pre-order, the $200 adidas Yeezy 500 was met with little fan fair. The quintessential dad shoe, the adidas Yeezy 500 did start to catch on as the color offering expanded and the chunky shoe trend picked up steam.Removing the coveted BOOST cushioning system for the first time on a Yeezy sneaker, the 500 borrows from an old-school adidas Kobe sneaker while utilizing a mixture of premium suede, nubuck, mesh, and leather. After 2 years of low-top designs, the sneaker rose up and was released in a High variant that switches the usual mesh base for neoprene. Even though the use of older technology and more contemporary design strays from the typical Yeezy model, the 500 and its high-top cousin are still one of the most recognizable Yeezy silhouettes.

First released in <a href="https://www.soleretriever.com/sneaker-release-dates/yeezy/yeezy-slides/adidas-yeezy-slide-pure-gz5554" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Pure</a>, <a href="https://www.soleretriever.com/sneaker-release-dates/yeezy/yeezy-slides/yeezy-slide-resin-gz5551" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Resin</a>, and <a href="https://www.soleretriever.com/sneaker-release-dates/yeezy/yeezy-slides/yeezy-slide-core-g55492" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Core</a> in December 2019, the adidas Yeezy Slide has gained popularity amongst sneakerheads over the years.Similar to the Foam RNNR, the Yeezy Slide is constructed entirely out of EVA Foam, does not contain adidas's BOOST technology, and has no visual branding. What the Yeezy Slide lacks in branding and extra frills, it makes up for in comfort. Its rigid sawtooth-like outsoles combined with its oversized foam construction not only make the Yeezy Slide instantly recognizable but also one of the most comfortable slides on the market. Like the adidas Adilette Slide, the Yeezy Slide does not come in half sizes but generally fits true to size.The adidas Yeezy Slide is the cheapest Yeezy in the adidas lineup, but even after countless restocks and new colorways releasing, they tend to sell out instantly. The adidas Yeezy Slide now retails for $70 in adult sizing, $55 for kids, and $45 for infant sizing. Find all the latest adidas Yeezy Slides on Sole Retriever today!

Futuristic design meets sustainability in Kanye West's adidas Yeezy Foam RNNR. First released in 2020 with the release of the <a href="https://www.soleretriever.com/sneaker-release-dates/adidas/foam-rnnr/adidas-yeezy-foam-rnnr-ararat-g55486" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ararat</a> colorway, the adidas Yeezy Foam RNNR is made of a combination of EVA and environmentally friendly algae foam. Designed as a lifestyle shoe, the Foam RNNR is a low-profile laceless slip-on that provides the convenience and comfort of a clog or slide. Like the <a href="https://www.soleretriever.com/sneaker-release-dates/yeezy/yeezy-slides" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">adidas Yeezy Slide</a>, the Foam RNNR comes exclusively in whole sizes but tends to fit somewhat small.

Jordan Brand, a subdivision of Nike, was created by lifelong Swoosh athlete, Michael Jordan, in 1997. It started out as a way for Jordan to expand his image and brand. The <a href="https://www.soleretriever.com/sneaker-release-dates/jordan/air-jordan-13">Air Jordan 13</a>, along with new silhouettes, dubbed “Team Jordans” were among the first releases from Jordan Brand. As JB was looking to expand, it signed its first athletes which included NBA stars Ray Allen, Vin Baker, Derek Anderson, Eddie Jones, and Michael Finley. It would then go on to expand its roster, not only for the NBA, but also across various sports with athletes such as Derek Jeter and Randy Moss, and collegiate teams such as the St. John’s, Cincinnati, and North Carolina A&amp;T. 

For the Air Jordan line, it all began in 1984 with the <a href="https://www.soleretriever.com/sneaker-release-dates/jordan/nike-air-jordan-1">Air Jordan 1</a> and continues to this day with signature sneakers released annually, worn on-court by current Jordan Brand athletes. <a href="https://www.soleretriever.com/sneaker-release-dates/jordan/nike-air-jordan-1">Air Jordan 1</a> through <a href="https://www.soleretriever.com/sneaker-release-dates/jordan/air-jordan-12">12</a> were released under the Nike umbrella, while the <a href="https://www.soleretriever.com/sneaker-release-dates/jordan/air-jordan-13">Air Jordan 13</a> to present have been under Jordan Brand. In 1999, after Michael Jordan retired for the second time, Jordan Brand began retro-ing classic Air Jordans, starting with the <a href="https://www.soleretriever.com/sneaker-release-dates/jordan/nike-air-jordan-4">Air Jordan 4</a>. To date, <a href="https://www.soleretriever.com/sneaker-release-dates/jordan/nike-air-jordan-1">Air Jordans 1</a> thru <a href="https://www.soleretriever.com/sneaker-release-dates/jordan/air-jordan-23">23</a> have all been retro-ed at some point, although models <a href="https://www.soleretriever.com/sneaker-release-dates/jordan/air-jordan-15">15</a> through <a href="https://www.soleretriever.com/sneaker-release-dates/jordan/air-jordan-22">22</a> have only seen a handful of re-releases with the majority of them only happening in 2008 during the Air Jordan Collezione “Countdown” Pack series, which featured two Air Jordan’s packaged together which signature numbers when added together equals the number 23 (ie 1/22, 3/20, 6/17, 11/12).

While Michael Jordan finally stepped off the court professionally, for good in 2003, his presence is still felt today. A global phenomenon, Jordan Brand is a billion dollar brand, growing each and every year. Jordan’s cultural significance continues to grow and his status as the greatest basketball player of all time is cemented in history, as are his signature Air Jordan sneakers.

Yeezy is an all-encompassing fashion label founded by Kanye West once he struck a deal with adidas to work on footwear in 2015. Debuting with Yeezy Season 1, this was the beginning of a multi-billion dollar empire that now encompasses technology and industrial design while still focusing on footwear and apparel. While many think of Yeezy as an adidas brand, Kanye owns 100% of the brand Yeezy, so if he were ever to decide to part ways with The Three Stripes he could continue to release products with the moniker.

While his journey into the fashion industry began way back in 2004 with an F&F adidas collab, Kanye truly began to make waves in the sneaker world once his Air Yeezy silhouette was released with Nike in 2009. Fast forward past their tumultuous breakup and Ye was back with The Three Stripes under his newly founded label, Yeezy. Iconic releases popped up in the early years of the partnership with adidas including the <a href="https://www.soleretriever.com/sneaker-release-dates/yeezy/yeezy-boost-750">Yeezy Boost 750</a> and <a href="https://www.soleretriever.com/sneaker-release-dates/yeezy/adidas-yeezy-boost-350">Yeezy Boost 350</a> (V1 & V2). These beginning stages saw staggered releases in ultra-limited quantities with rumors that the original Yeezy 750 “Light Brown” only had about 10,000 pairs hit the market, though as time passed, pairs became accessible and fulfilled Kanye’s promise of “Yeezys for everyone.”

Notable models from the brand include the dad-shoe-inspired <a href="https://www.soleretriever.com/sneaker-release-dates/yeezy/adidas-yeezy-700">Yeezy Boost 700</a>, designed by the “Godfather of Dad Shoes” Steven Smith, and the retro-built <a href="https://www.soleretriever.com/sneaker-release-dates/yeezy/yeezy-500">Yeezy 500</a> that utilizes the same adiPRENE+ sole that adidas Kobe sneakers used when he was signed to The Three Stripes. While these fall under the contemporary design language that Yeezy was known for in its early years, recently introduced models like the <a href="https://www.soleretriever.com/sneaker-release-dates/yeezy/foam-rnnr">Yeezy Foam RNNR</a>, <a href="https://www.soleretriever.com/sneaker-release-dates/yeezy/yeezy-boost-380">Yeezy 380</a>, and <a href="">Yeezy Slide</a> take on a much more futuristic, organic design that has truly separated the brand from others in the industry. 

As of late, Ye (FKA as Kanye West) has had a rocky relationship with his partner adidas, from accusing them of stealing his designs to stating that they have made decisions for Yeezy without his approval. For the time being, we should still see plenty of new colorways, models, and more from adidas Yeezy, a partnership that has reshaped the sneaker industry in many ways.

With plenty of classics and collaborations under its belt, Reebok remains a mainstay in streetwear fashion to this day.
