Love the Yeezys and they are a staple to sneaker history and I still wear them, because they're not only connected to the culture and style, but the comfort is unmatched. So absolutely still wearing.
Hell no I’ve gotten more Yeezys, I’ve spend more money going back getting Yeezys thanks any Nike product since October November. I wear Yeezys more than all my Nike shoes. Tired of shoes from 80’s 90’s like the new designs of Yeezys.
I have one pair of statics that I only got because they were $150 with tax and shipping. I have a few adidas track suits and hoodies/ sweats and I wear them as my running errands shoes. When I have to go do laundry, go to the grocery store throw on an adidas track suit and Yeezy 350 to do errands and chores in comfort and style
I felt like this yeezy 350 is really good with skinny jeans and slim sweatpants. The trend this time is more on straight fit to baggy fit, so it feels off if you're not wearing a slim/skinny fit.
Respectfully the declining hype over the years is certainly plays into how you see them. I agree with your take on the on bland color ways they kept pumping out as Kanye seemed to keep getting further detached. But for a sneaker you thought was fire at release, was a regular in the rotation in multiple color ways to how you view them now, declining hype would have to be a factor
I’ve been a Sneakerhead since 19 I’ve collected DC’s, Vans, and Jordan’s. When I bought my 1st 350 v2 wow!! I didn’t know how comfortable they were. Soon as Yeezy and Adidas did a whole lot of releases and re-release I collected almost every color and some 700’s as well. I like some colorways that suites me well with my fashion and will keep them don’t really care what people think and don’t care the controversy behind yeezy I care for my comfort and how I feel wearing a pair of sneaker.
I agree 100 percent. Yeezy is dead. The shoes only look good with joggers, and joggers are currently on their way out. Not a timeless shoe like a NB 990
Wave runners are the only pair of Yeezy sneakers I’ll still wear (debating what to do with all my other pairs) - Yeezy slides are my main indoor slipper pairs though

Just watched the full video Full disclosure: huge Yeezy fan, huge Eddie fan! I still rock Yeezys regularly. I love the designs of the shoes but honestly I never really loved the 350. Most of the other models hold up to me for everyday wear including the 700s, 500s, foam runner, slide. I get that there are maybe more colors on the NB shoes but how can you like the NB 9060 for instance and not the Yeezy 500 or 700? That’s where I’m at! And I like both but wish the NB branding was more subtle or just more minimal in general I personally think the sneaker community is just better when Yeezy is in it but I agree with you there was a true laziness in recent years with the 350 model and 500 specifically. Just a ton of colors that don’t do anything, easy passes. Anyway, love the videos and appreciate your perspective
I still have a lot of them, and though they are not what they used to be, I still like to wear mine. They are comfortable still. For the broke HS/college student I was when these were the juice, I guess having a 'big boy' job and obtaining them for way lower is doing that old me justice. I don't go around getting every shade of cream but the unique or iconic ones imo like the Desert Sages, Zyon, Zebras, etc. Unfortunate how the relationship fizzled, but there really isn't anything out there design wise like yeezys.
I feel the same way. Sorta. My yeezys don't match the way I dress now BUT it's weird to think these may not ever release AGAIN. I don't want to get rid of something that won't be produced ever.
That’s certainly fair from a collectors stand point, my thoughts are more so from someone that wants to wear all his sneakers. And if they’re sitting in a box for years, I’d rather have the money. The appeal of something never being made again is cool tho!
Similarly, I’ve held on to a few pairs that I felt were momentous releases in the shoe game. OG turtle doves, OG belugas, wave runners, and static 700 2.0. All of em are more for casual errand runs because of comfort
I think there are so many colorways of Yeezys because they originally wanted to make them accessible. I never bought any Yeezys because the designs were a bit over my head. The Wave Runners are about the only sneaker I’d entertain the idea of having.
I love Yeezys but I agree, it’s difficult to pair it with an outfit nowadays so they stay in a box. I ended up selling my 350s because of it. Sometimes our taste and style changes as we grow.
Still have and wear all my OG Yeezys and don’t plan on ever letting them go. Truth is a lot of people are wearing them less is because of diminishing “hype” and times moving into a new direction. Jordan brand had these downtrend phases in the past but always came back in its fashion. In the future, people will definitely be flocking back to Yeezys once they see the nostalgia factor in them, even more since they no longer produce them.
I’m at a similar stage in my life, where I’m glad I have 350s and a few other Yeezys that I bought over the years, because when I was in high school and they were fist coming out it was so hard to get, and I couldn’t afford them, so the last 3 years as they’ve done massive restocks and releases , and I’ve started to work and make money I’ve gotten a few. But I just don’t find my self wearing them nearly as much in 2023, like 2020 and even 2021 I was always rocking them, but idk now it’s just not really my style
Yeezys and UltraBoosts had a death grip on sneaker heads and streetwear as a whole. Those paired with the zipper pants and elongated drawstrings. What a time.
350 always been one of my favorite models ive had multiple pairs. as someone who doesnt have the money to buy a lot of nice shoes i think theyre comfy easy to wear and its nothing too crazy. Perfect for me but i mostly just wear 350s and dunks im basic.
I too stopped caring about the Yeezy brand around 2019, when it became obvious Kanye was starting to care less and less about the brand and it was left to Adidas and his Yeezy team to keep it running. I still have the pairs I care about the most, I think its at a total of 8 pairs. The only things I’m still keeping an eye out for is a pair of Pirate Black 350s and Static 700 V2s. Recently got a pair of Chocolate 750s for retails and I was honestly still super excited to rock them like I was back in 2016 when having a pair on would draw attention lol.
Wave runners are my daily beaters and I have 3 on ice - I’ll never get tired of that original 700 And the Onyx CW of the Yeezy Slides are my go to for the summer at the lake and errands
I’ve been in the sneaker game a long time, since I was a kid in the late 80’s and early 90’s, and I’ve never liked Yeezy’s. I’ve never understood the hype and obsession with them?! I’ve always thought Kanye was a dumbass any way lol.
I feel you on the do they fit our current style aesthetic. At the same time though I still like to dress like the 2015-2017 era. Maybe not piece for piece but something that complements the Yeezys I own (350s majority). I just got turtle doves this year and they’re a grail for me, but at the same time I know they don’t go with everything in my closet or my current style.
Back then, I really only liked the 350 silhouette. I still kind of do, in fact I still have a pair of zebras. Those were definitely my favorite colorway of the 350 and was one of the shoes that drew me into sneakers. I was indifferent to Kanye at the time so I really just judged the Yeezy line by the look of the shoes themselves. They were definitely a trend that stuck around, but I think their time has come, even ignoring the Kanye controversy.
I stopped wearing Yeezy’s in 2016-2017 Pirate Black 350s was my last Yeezy ever bought or worn…and i have a lot of kicks… nothing to do with Kanye just boost died a while ago for me 🤷🏽♂️
Love the content bro…I like to rock my Yeezys still but it’s only a chosen few that I have in the collection . 700 wave runners, bred 350, Oreo 350 , and zebra 350 .
You are not totally wrong as I have contemplated moving some of my Yeezys as well but for me it isn’t about hype or how they fit my style. I would like to decrease my ownership and just keep a select few. I would ultimately keep a 350 Beluga 2.0, 350 static, 500 all black, and my all time favorite 700 wave runner. The 700 Waverunner is a top 10 sneaker all time! The only sneaker I have doubled up in my collection.
When I was in Elementary School the top shoes were Yeezys and this is before Jordans and Air Forces became popular and when I was in 2nd and 3rd grade people would argue what is better Yeezys or Air Forces and now in 2023 I have not seen a Yeezy worn since and me and my brother both sold our Yeezys and overall I think Yeezys are not as good as they once were.
I still wear my wave runners and 350 oreos. They look good with summer fits, especially shorts. I live in Australia so these are easy shoes to wear for at least half of the year.
Loved the video Eddie! I’ve been watching your videos since what feels like the beginning of Huf making shoes. Your videos got me back into sneakers especially New Balance and Jordan’s. Definitely my favorite Sneaker RUclipsr of all time!
For me I thought they looked good on other people with a specific style but I didn’t like them with my outfits either .. for me they looked too much „fashion“ if that makes sense and not like a normal sneaker 🤷♂️ didn’t like any of the Yeezys
As a middle aged heavier set dude now, Yeezys just don’t go with my fits anymore. 95% of the time I’m wearing cargo shorts a collared t shirt and some sneakers for work. 350 v2s look especially dumb with shorts so I don’t ever wear my triple whites. Mainly rock Jordans nowadays, Only pair of Yeezys I still wear somewhat regularly is my 700 mauves, those were my first ever pair of Yeezys I camped out for so they got sentimental value plus I just think the colorway is unique and not super loud. The triple whites were a gift also which is why I still have them. But yeah, Yeezys ain’t really hittin like that anymore for the most part
Interesting you make a video like this, I’m still buying n reselling Yeezys just as if i were reselling Jordan’s so I think there definitely not the most popular shoe right now but in 20 years I think it will be considered classic and yes they also remind me of 2016 when they were the game and seeing tons of people wear them, it was a great moment when I finally could get something I wanted for so long, yes my comment was long but anyways W video
I have so many Yeezy’s I forgot what I own and still bought 4x 350’s this year. Last week I brought my entire collection downstairs to photograph them because I’ve decided to start wearing them. I was surprised to see I have 43 pairs.
i screwed my right foot when i was in the Army back in 2001. i still bought jordans and around 2009 my foot started acting up and by 2015 i wore nothing but stuff that was comfortable and stuff the doctors recomended. i stopped buying jordans but had almost 150 something pairs by the time 2015 came around. like you said it doesn't fit your life now and what i did was sell them all, something i thought i'd never do, basically i am saying sell them off, we might have joined the reseller culture but it wasn't for profit but for life just changing. old me now sticks to New Balance and that's how life changed
I now only keep 4 - a 500, 500 high, 700 v1, and 700 v2. Because of how bulky they are, they make great winter shoes, at least for me. At one point, I had I think 6 or 7 350’s, including the zebra, beluga 2.0 and core black. I only ever wore one (the carbon), because I really just can’t vibe with the aesthetic. So now I don’t have any of those anymore.
I have the Beluga reflectives and 350 CMPCT bones. I only wear my CMPCT since they are easy slip ons for errands. Also, the baggy pants style returning makes shoes like 350s not an ideal option.
Yeah this is a big factor for me when it comes to wearing my 350s. I still have my Oreos and Beluga RFs deadstock because you end up looking a bit out of place in skinnies. The only shoes I will willingly put on the skinnies for are my City Sock NMDs and my 750s. I will wear them in the summer with some shorts though, they’re perfect for that weather.
I don't buy fad sneakers or overhyped stuff like this because of this. I do buy wild stuff at times... like the era these yeezy are from I went the other way and scooped twinstrike consortium, then futurepacer after. I still wear both. I only purchase shoes I'm positive I'll wear forever
Can’t tell you the last time I wore any of mine. I sold a ton of my 350’s. Prior to the whole Yezzy controversy too. They made their impact on a moment just like Ultra Boost and NMD’s. With the exception of the Nike Yezzy’s the rest are a wrap.
i’m in the same boat, closet full of shoes and all i wear now are my vans lol. i WANT to wear them, they look good when i see other people wearing them, i just don’t have that true urge anymore.. but still holding on.
Curren$y instrumental in the background for the win. I told you all yeezy would NEVER jump over the jumpman! Retro Jordans and Air Max are the only sneakers we need ❤
Had 3 pairs and sold them. I truly think Wave Runners are a great sneakers and 700s are a great model. I think a lot of Yeezys are good sneakers but for the most part only really look good with sweatpants lol.
I haven’t bought anymore Yeezys, I sold most of them, but I can’t sell the Wave runners and TDoves those twos are staples and they will never leave the collection
I like YZY line and I have a few but I just don’t think it’s a sneaker line that aged well like a Jordan, Nike, NB, etc etc. There’s no longevity with them I feel like they only cater to one look/style I fight myself on if I should let them go or not.
Sold all my Yeezys. Best choice I ever made. I had 4 pairs. Took that money and bought shoes I actually wanted to wear. Not hype shoes. I learned a lot about what I like, and not like because it’s “hype”. I think for me personally, from all the Yeezy craze I don’t frankly enjoy them as much as I told myself I did, nor do I think they look good on me, or help elevate my style. Just a walking price tag shoe. Obviously, this is MY opinion and to each their own- but I just won’t give into hype shoes anymore like I did with Yeezys. If they are not for me, and don’t match my personality, I’m not going to buy them anymore. In all honesty, they are ugly from another person’s view. We just pushed through and forgot because of the hype and high demand that they were made to be. Kim and Kanye wore those shoes like it was life or death. They marketed it as the holy grail. If you didn't have a pair, you had to get one. Regardless of Kim's relationship and the commentary Kanye made. It will still remain a historic shoe even if they fully disappear from the sneaker world.
I just have to wait until it gets warm again. I find that they usually go better with shorts or more sporty outfits. Granted I only have one pair, it's a pair of analog 700's, but I wear them often enough to keep them around. I find myself gravitating towards comfort and dad-style shoes nowadays and they kinda for that vibe. I just wish I sized up too, they be killing the tops of my toes! 😩
Ngl I just bought a pair of those 350 v2 Oreo’s. Definitely pleased with em and glad to finally have them in the rotation. I’d probably keep all of those pairs tbh but that’s me.
To each is own.....if you want to sell them b/c you're not wearing them, then sell them for something that you would rock. That doesn't make you a reseller. Just makes you like every other person getting rid of something because they have either outgrown it or time has passed a particular item by. I still have a few colorways in my collection and have resold some of them to get a grail, so I don't blame you if you're doing something similar. I just kept the Yeezy 350 and 700 colorways Ye was directly involved with (Zebras, Turtledoves, Static, Waverunners, etc.)
I'm literally collecting the yeezys I missed out on when they was popular. Got me some 500s, qntm and the 700s all well under retail in the passed 6 months.
I am keeping all 13 pairs of my yeezys not because i like Kanye but i love my yeezys. Every time i wear my wave runners people tell me they love my kicks.
I definitely agree with the 350 V2 takes and the takes regarding the disappointment/laziness of the same neutral colorways of the Yeezys…ESPECIALLY the 350 V2. Like my goodness. How many shades of the same sand tone do we need?! 😭😭 I have a lot of V2s though…all from the early Yeezy Supply days where the releases would be *easier* cops because they’d drop at 3AM EST. 😭🔥 But just like you…I haven’t worn them in so long because they just don’t go with any full fits I wear nowadays…unless I’m out running quick errands in shorts or something lol. Because we have to remember that the 350 was created during (and lowkey modeled after) the sock sneaker/Roshe Run wave. That wave has settled down for the most part. But I just can’t sell any of mine because they’re just too classic of 350 V2 colorways for me (Semi Frozen, Zebra, Triple White, Butter, etc etc) I did eventually sell the Sesame and the Blue Tints after years of never wearing them though lol. I honestly never liked them too much from the beginning, and was just trying to force myself to rock with them. But I just couldn’t. 😭😭 As far as the 700 all versions, 500 lows and highs, QNTM, Yeezy Boots, the Yeezy designer line, etc……..STILL GO SO CRAZY to me. 😭🔥 They still fit the style of clothing/outfits I wear nowadays. I feel like the 700 was at the start of the big midsole, dad shoe wave that’s even still going on to this day. Ye was ahead of the game on that one. 🔥🔥🔥💪🏾
Crazy how spot on you are with this I sold mostly all my Yeezys and only kept maybe 3 of the more meaningful pairs 1 I actually still wear (rarely) my 700v2 static. I think Yeezys were just a different era that we’re moving on from now into something else
Hype train is definently over for Yeezys. I still rock my wave runners, mauves and vantas for quick errand runs but i dont see them as my top tier sneakers anymore. My style has changed abit over the last couple of years and i am abit more open to other brands like NB. So glad i only have 1 pair of 350 Belugas and sold all of my other ones because they would never get worn now lol
I think the yeezy hype is settling and some people are making their minds up on what's gonna stick and not in their collection. If u ask me, i think they've always kind of been over priced....that was a gift because it made me selective in purchasing. I only sold my semi frozen yellow for bill money years ago. I still got 700 mauves, triple black 500s....id take a few more staple colors like wave runners,zebras 350, 2 mini van colors....u only need like less than 10 yeezy models and colors because like u said Eddie the colors are just 1 shade away from being similar lol. Lastly, paying over $230+ for kicks is not the move. Even Jordan retros sitting at $210+tax....people are going with something more affordable like new balance who prices are almost always under $200 or less than $150.
Wave runners are still one of the goats imo..I still wear mine. N I still wear my inertia n mauve joints. I just run around in them but I still keep em fresh
I’ll be honest, I came to this vid ready to be unamused, but actually watching and listening what you are saying makes sense. Even though I still wear some of mine a lot of my Yeezys are getting looked over just because aesthetically they aren’t part if my wardrobe anymore. Thanks for the upload.
Never going to stop wearing my yeezys. They are still the most comfortable shoe, with the greatest materials, while being aesthetic pleasing.
I swear 2 guade
material are sock like. aesthetically peasant shoe

Count me among those who still love Yeezs more than Jordans. So comfy. Trying to get more infact lol
Eddie win!! Massachusetts stand up. I switched over to new balance, I haven’t bought a pair of Yeezys in such a long time.
Yeezys are the greatest shoes ever made, will never stop wearing mines
I felt like this yeezy 350 is really good with skinny jeans and slim sweatpants. The trend this time is more on straight fit to baggy fit, so it feels off if you're not wearing a slim/skinny fit.
I wear them more than ever now. I'm hoping people move on from them completely so the resale prices will come down a bit

Yep. Dude is just a hypebeast.
Yeezys are pure art! They're sneakers I ❤ to look at but never wear. Never thought there would be a brand to rival and even surpass Jordans imo.

Pirate Black 350s was my last Yeezy ever bought or worn…and i have a lot of kicks… nothing to do with Kanye just boost died a while ago for me 🤷🏽♂️
Love the content bro…I like to rock my Yeezys still but it’s only a chosen few that I have in the collection . 700 wave runners, bred 350, Oreo 350 , and zebra 350 .
I held on to my yeezys and ultraboosts due to comfort. Style is now secondary to me. Dont have any j's anymore as they are not that comfortable.
You are not totally wrong as I have contemplated moving some of my Yeezys as well but for me it isn’t about hype or how they fit my style. I would like to decrease my ownership and just keep a select few. I would ultimately keep a 350 Beluga 2.0, 350 static, 500 all black, and my all time favorite 700 wave runner. The 700 Waverunner is a top 10 sneaker all time! The only sneaker I have doubled up in my collection.
This was a good video, different 🔥🔥
Sold em all… glad I did lol
Im keeping that same energy with the Adidas YZY. All the nonsense colourways I never liked but certain or even many colourways is still fire to me
When I was in Elementary School the top shoes were Yeezys and this is before Jordans and Air Forces became popular and when I was in 2nd and 3rd grade people would argue what is better Yeezys or Air Forces and now in 2023 I have not seen a Yeezy worn since and me and my brother both sold our Yeezys and overall I think Yeezys are not as good as they once were.
I still wear my wave runners and 350 oreos. They look good with summer fits, especially shorts. I live in Australia so these are easy shoes to wear for at least half of the year.
so you won't wear Yeezy's because the "hype", yet you wear Jordan's, the most over-hyped and played out sneaker on the planet? right.
I agree 100%. I sold all mine yrs ago
I feel you as a new online sneaker buyer I do buy shoes that I never wear 😢
Sold them all but my waverunners and didn’t look back. Haven’t worn the waverunners in probably over a year tho
Loved the video Eddie! I’ve been watching your videos since what feels like the beginning of Huf making shoes. Your videos got me back into sneakers especially New Balance and Jordan’s. Definitely my favorite Sneaker RUclipsr of all time!
For me I thought they looked good on other people with a specific style but I didn’t like them with my outfits either .. for me they looked too much „fashion“ if that makes sense and not like a normal sneaker 🤷♂️ didn’t like any of the Yeezys
As a middle aged heavier set dude now, Yeezys just don’t go with my fits anymore. 95% of the time I’m wearing cargo shorts a collared t shirt and some sneakers for work. 350 v2s look especially dumb with shorts so I don’t ever wear my triple whites. Mainly rock Jordans nowadays, Only pair of Yeezys I still wear somewhat regularly is my 700 mauves, those were my first ever pair of Yeezys I camped out for so they got sentimental value plus I just think the colorway is unique and not super loud. The triple whites were a gift also which is why I still have them. But yeah, Yeezys ain’t really hittin like that anymore for the most part
I still wear my 750’s time to time, but I’ve slowly abandoned my 350 V2’s… nothing to do with hype but they just don’t fit my style anymore.
Still wear them, don’t plan on stopping.
Interesting you make a video like this, I’m still buying n reselling Yeezys just as if i were reselling Jordan’s so I think there definitely not the most popular shoe right now but in 20 years I think it will be considered classic and yes they also remind me of 2016 when they were the game and seeing tons of people wear them, it was a great moment when I finally could get something I wanted for so long, yes my comment was long but anyways W video
I have so many Yeezy’s I forgot what I own and still bought 4x 350’s this year. Last week I brought my entire collection downstairs to photograph them because I’ve decided to start wearing them. I was surprised to see I have 43 pairs.
Wave Runners are a shoe that will be missed. It sucks living a world knowing theres a possibility that shoe never restocks.
I just wore my wave runners to work. I’m a nurse so yezzys are comfortable af in a 10hr shift. They look nice with scrubs!
i screwed my right foot when i was in the Army back in 2001. i still bought jordans and around 2009 my foot started acting up and by 2015 i wore nothing but stuff that was comfortable and stuff the doctors recomended. i stopped buying jordans but had almost 150 something pairs by the time 2015 came around. like you said it doesn't fit your life now and what i did was sell them all, something i thought i'd never do, basically i am saying sell them off, we might have joined the reseller culture but it wasn't for profit but for life just changing. old me now sticks to New Balance and that's how life changed
I now only keep 4 - a 500, 500 high, 700 v1, and 700 v2. Because of how bulky they are, they make great winter shoes, at least for me. At one point, I had I think 6 or 7 350’s, including the zebra, beluga 2.0 and core black. I only ever wore one (the carbon), because I really just can’t vibe with the aesthetic. So now I don’t have any of those anymore.
I have the Beluga reflectives and 350 CMPCT bones. I only wear my CMPCT since they are easy slip ons for errands. Also, the baggy pants style returning makes shoes like 350s not an ideal option.
Yeah this is a big factor for me when it comes to wearing my 350s. I still have my Oreos and Beluga RFs deadstock because you end up looking a bit out of place in skinnies. The only shoes I will willingly put on the skinnies for are my City Sock NMDs and my 750s. I will wear them in the summer with some shorts though, they’re perfect for that weather.
I don't buy fad sneakers or overhyped stuff like this because of this. I do buy wild stuff at times... like the era these yeezy are from I went the other way and scooped twinstrike consortium, then futurepacer after. I still wear both. I only purchase shoes I'm positive I'll wear forever
Only Yeezy’s I have now are the waverunners and Slides. It was a good run while it lasted
I'm no way shocked people are ditching Yeezy's because they're not the cool thing anymore.
Can’t tell you the last time I wore any of mine. I sold a ton of my 350’s. Prior to the whole Yezzy controversy too. They made their impact on a moment just like Ultra Boost and NMD’s. With the exception of the Nike Yezzy’s the rest are a wrap.
i’m in the same boat, closet full of shoes and all i wear now are my vans lol. i WANT to wear them, they look good when i see other people wearing them, i just don’t have that true urge anymore.. but still holding on.
Wave runners will forever be wearable for me 🌊
4:25 “Whether you like them” Only buy pairs that you like
Curren$y instrumental in the background for the win. I told you all yeezy would NEVER jump over the jumpman! Retro Jordans and Air Max are the only sneakers we need ❤
Had 3 pairs and sold them. I truly think Wave Runners are a great sneakers and 700s are a great model. I think a lot of Yeezys are good sneakers but for the most part only really look good with sweatpants lol.
Which is exactly why Yeezys specifically 350s are a gym shoe to me
Most people don't wear yeezys because we're not getting them anymore. But I can't go from yeezy to new balance, and I am TIRED of Jordan's.
I haven’t bought anymore Yeezys, I sold most of them, but I can’t sell the Wave runners and TDoves those twos are staples and they will never leave the collection
I like YZY line and I have a few but I just don’t think it’s a sneaker line that aged well like a Jordan, Nike, NB, etc etc. There’s no longevity with them I feel like they only cater to one look/style I fight myself on if I should let them go or not.
Do you think that New Balance now is better than yeezy?
Sold all my Yeezys. Best choice I ever made. I had 4 pairs. Took that money and bought shoes I actually wanted to wear. Not hype shoes. I learned a lot about what I like, and not like because it’s “hype”. I think for me personally, from all the Yeezy craze I don’t frankly enjoy them as much as I told myself I did, nor do I think they look good on me, or help elevate my style. Just a walking price tag shoe. Obviously, this is MY opinion and to each their own- but I just won’t give into hype shoes anymore like I did with Yeezys. If they are not for me, and don’t match my personality, I’m not going to buy them anymore. In all honesty, they are ugly from another person’s view. We just pushed through and forgot because of the hype and high demand that they were made to be. Kim and Kanye wore those shoes like it was life or death. They marketed it as the holy grail. If you didn't have a pair, you had to get one. Regardless of Kim's relationship and the commentary Kanye made. It will still remain a historic shoe even if they fully disappear from the sneaker world.
Wearing that hoodie today! 💯👌🏼 ok back to the video!
I just have to wait until it gets warm again. I find that they usually go better with shorts or more sporty outfits. Granted I only have one pair, it's a pair of analog 700's, but I wear them often enough to keep them around. I find myself gravitating towards comfort and dad-style shoes nowadays and they kinda for that vibe. I just wish I sized up too, they be killing the tops of my toes! 😩
Ngl I just bought a pair of those 350 v2 Oreo’s. Definitely pleased with em and glad to finally have them in the rotation. I’d probably keep all of those pairs tbh but that’s me.
To each is own.....if you want to sell them b/c you're not wearing them, then sell them for something that you would rock. That doesn't make you a reseller. Just makes you like every other person getting rid of something because they have either outgrown it or time has passed a particular item by.
I still have a few colorways in my collection and have resold some of them to get a grail, so I don't blame you if you're doing something similar.
I just kept the Yeezy 350 and 700 colorways Ye was directly involved with (Zebras, Turtledoves, Static, Waverunners, etc.)
where did you get the carhart denim?
I'm literally collecting the yeezys I missed out on when they was popular. Got me some 500s, qntm and the 700s all well under retail in the passed 6 months.
Same here, trying to hunt down the OG 750 and 2015 pirate black v1
@@FXCKFEAR everything is half price it seems right now
I am keeping all 13 pairs of my yeezys not because i like Kanye but i love my yeezys. Every time i wear my wave runners people tell me they love my kicks.
I just started getting Yeezy’s 😆 I’m not a hype beast I just buy what I like
Same here
I had the moonrocks 350 v1 after that I knew I didn’t need anymore Yeezys for my feet.
I definitely agree with the 350 V2 takes and the takes regarding the disappointment/laziness of the same neutral colorways of the Yeezys…ESPECIALLY the 350 V2. Like my goodness. How many shades of the same sand tone do we need?! 😭😭
I have a lot of V2s though…all from the early Yeezy Supply days where the releases would be *easier* cops because they’d drop at 3AM EST. 😭🔥 But just like you…I haven’t worn them in so long because they just don’t go with any full fits I wear nowadays…unless I’m out running quick errands in shorts or something lol. Because we have to remember that the 350 was created during (and lowkey modeled after) the sock sneaker/Roshe Run wave. That wave has settled down for the most part. But I just can’t sell any of mine because they’re just too classic of 350 V2 colorways for me (Semi Frozen, Zebra, Triple White, Butter, etc etc) I did eventually sell the Sesame and the Blue Tints after years of never wearing them though lol. I honestly never liked them too much from the beginning, and was just trying to force myself to rock with them. But I just couldn’t. 😭😭
As far as the 700 all versions, 500 lows and highs, QNTM, Yeezy Boots, the Yeezy designer line, etc……..STILL GO SO CRAZY to me. 😭🔥 They still fit the style of clothing/outfits I wear nowadays. I feel like the 700 was at the start of the big midsole, dad shoe wave that’s even still going on to this day. Ye was ahead of the game on that one. 🔥🔥🔥💪🏾
Dang…I’m just now realizing that I damn near wrote a whole dissertation. 😭😭😭😭😂😅
Haha just goes to show you’re also passionate about footwear / the topic! Good stuff man.
Crazy how spot on you are with this I sold mostly all my Yeezys and only kept maybe 3 of the more meaningful pairs 1 I actually still wear (rarely) my 700v2 static. I think Yeezys were just a different era that we’re moving on from now into something else
Only Yeezys I actually wear with outfits are 700s and desert boots. The 350s only really look good wit gym attire like sweats
Eddie you the man 50 grand! But ppl been stopped wearing sneakers whether being yeezys fila Reebok converse it be like that. 🤷🏻♂️
Hype train is definently over for Yeezys. I still rock my wave runners, mauves and vantas for quick errand runs but i dont see them as my top tier sneakers anymore. My style has changed abit over the last couple of years and i am abit more open to other brands like NB. So glad i only have 1 pair of 350 Belugas and sold all of my other ones because they would never get worn now lol
I think the yeezy hype is settling and some people are making their minds up on what's gonna stick and not in their collection. If u ask me, i think they've always kind of been over priced....that was a gift because it made me selective in purchasing. I only sold my semi frozen yellow for bill money years ago. I still got 700 mauves, triple black 500s....id take a few more staple colors like wave runners,zebras 350, 2 mini van colors....u only need like less than 10 yeezy models and colors because like u said Eddie the colors are just 1 shade away from being similar lol. Lastly, paying over $230+ for kicks is not the move. Even Jordan retros sitting at $210+tax....people are going with something more affordable like new balance who prices are almost always under $200 or less than $150.
Wave runners are still one of the goats imo..I still wear mine. N I still wear my inertia n mauve joints. I just run around in them but I still keep em fresh
I started to wear what I buy and im learning to not buy impulsively. I loved yeezys though but spending on the shoes, gets crazy.
I’ll be honest, I came to this vid ready to be unamused, but actually watching and listening what you are saying makes sense. Even though I still wear some of mine a lot of my Yeezys are getting looked over just because aesthetically they aren’t part if my wardrobe anymore. Thanks for the upload.
Do people still wear these?
