These Black and Red YEEZYs Were Finally Confirmed for Release

Consumers who were eager to get their hands on Kanye West's and adidas' collaborative sneakers are sure to appreciate these new black and red YEEZYs, which readapt the well-loved BOOST 350 V2 model.

The sportswear giant confirmed the release of the sneakers recently through its adidas Originals Twitter account, where it communicated to consumers that the black and red YEEZYs would become available on February 11th 2017. Along with this news, the brand confirmed that the sneakers would be available in sizes for adults as well as children.

With the Primeknit uppers and laces covered a deep hue of black, the red lettering that reads "SPLY-350" on the sides stands out at once. The soles of the black red YEEZYs are translucent gray to bring a little more variance to the design as well.
