A new adidas YEEZY entered the chat and was not discreet at all. The adidas YEEZY 450 was teased by Kanye West for about three years before it was finally available to buy. Mister West himself has been sharing designs and samples of the unusual silhouette since 2018. At Paris Fashion Week 2020, he then wore it in front of everyone else; in the OG colorway Cloud White. It still took another year before the YEEZY 450 could be bought. The first release of the extraordinary sneaker took place on March 6, 2021 – a date we cherish.

Admittedly, the 450 doesn’t exactly come across as basic. What is particularly striking is that the focus is entirely on the sole. The oversized outsole partially encloses the Primeknit upper, which is rather unusual. The sneaker does not resemble any other YEEZY silhouette, nor does it remind us of any of its predecessors. So what is the best way to sported it? Honest answer? If you buy a YEEZY 450, you can combine it however you want. Sweatpants? Jeans? Leather pants? It’s all fine, because a sneaker that looks so strange requires confidence. Those who have self-confidence can basically wear what they want, how they want.
While the colorways in the stores are still limited, we have already seen various YEEZY 450s. We don’t know yet if these are pure prototypes or if they will hit retail. But what we definitely want to see in retail are the YEEZY 450 slides. Kim is already wearing them and shared a yellow colorway with us at Easter. First up, however, is said to be an all-white version titled Ophani. It’s not yet known when that will drop, though, because according to rumors from 2020, that should have already happened.
Other colorways of the 450 are also expected.
Despite all the criticism, YEEZYS remain relevant. New silhouettes are often smiled at by hardcore sneakerheads, the first model of the silhouette was no different. With the release, however, this often stops and everyone tries to buy a pair.
