Yeezy Boost 350 Black:

I was browsing the internet, and twitter, and stumbled upon these shoes. I am not sure exactly how to feel about them, but I sure did want to share them with you. This shoe is a collaboration creation by both Adidas Originals and Kanye West. Here is what I found out about the shoes, and how you might be able to get them, on the Adidas website:

"Following the unprecedented global anticipation of the YEEZY BOOST 350 released in a white colorway this past June, Kanye West and adidas Originals now announce the forthcoming global drop of an all black version on the 22nd of August 2015. The shoe will feature uppers composed of tonal Primeknit: a breakthrough material developed using adidas’ most advanced digital engineering techniques to fit like a second skin. Color-coordinated outsoles leverage adidas BOOST™’s highly responsive properties to offer an unparalleled level of comfort, performance and style."


"Due to extremely limited quantities and high demand, adidas is again evening the playing field by giving its customers the chance to win tickets to buy the exclusive new YEEZY BOOST 350. adidas Originals customers can stand a chance to buy their very own, at a recommended retail price of R2999.00 each, by attending the Yeezy Boost 350 release at the adidas Originals stores in Menlyn Shopping Centre in Pretoria, and Canal Walk shopping centre in Cape Town, as well as Shelflife in Cape Town."

“We wanted to offer everyone interested in owning a pair, a fair opportunity to get their hands on one,” says Ricole Green, Brand Activation Manager for adidas Originals South Africa. The release will happen through a ticket raffle release system, with tickets being drawn at random on the day at 2pm. Quantities are limited and shoe sizes cannot be guaranteed..  “We urge the public not to be late as anyone joining the queue after the 2pm cut off time, will not receive a raffle ticket.”

"Here are the rules. If you’re name is drawn – shout!

1. Head to Canal Walk and Menlyn Originals Concept Stores in Cape Town and Pretoria.

2. Get in the queue before 2pm on Saturday to grab one of the 350 raffle tickets that will be made available.

3. An independent draw will take place for a limited amount of adidas Yeezy Boost 350.

4. If your name is read out, make known your presence within 1 minute or you’ll lose out.

5. Winning ticket holders will be escorted two at a time to buy 1 pair each.

6. adidas Yeezy Boost 350 retail for R2 999 per pair. Only cash and credit cards will be accepted.

7. Due to limited quantities shoe sizes cannot be guaranteed."
