Style of the Adidas Yeezy Boost 700 V2

This sequel of the renowned Adidas Yeezy 700 flaunts the same bulky profile as its predecessor, updated with fresh elements to make it more modern. The intricate multi-layered upper was stirred from the running kick from the 90s riding atop a chunky midsole for that retro look.

The reflective panels on the upper give a contemporary feel to the overall classic look. This model kept the robust profile with carved monochromatic midsole. There are multiple materials on the upper, such as mesh as the base, leather panels, and welded reflective details as overlays.

Styling this dad sneaker is virtually stress-free for its versatile hues and classic charm. Monochromatic tracksuit with an athletic cap will surely look great when paired with these Yeezy kicks. Meanwhile, khakis with oversized hoodies will give its wearers a true Kanye street vibe. Ladies may also match this kick up with their leggings or even with their mini dresses for that funky yet girly attire.

History of the Adidas Yeezy Boost 700 V2

Kanye West and Adidas started their partnership in 2015 after West left Nike. This collaboration dropped the Yeezy Boost 750 on the same year and was followed by the Adidas Equipment 10 Em the following year. Meanwhile, the third Adidas Yeezy iteration called Yeezy 950 Duckboot, features an entirely distinct look as compared to the first releases and considered as the second most expensive Yeezy ever unveiled in public.

In 2016, Mr. West was seen sporting the popular Yeezy Calabasas Runner. This famous running silhouette mainly displayed a chunky look inspired by the Ozweego line of the 1990s. The Calabasas Runner exhibited a mixture of white, teal, orange, and black hues and was launched during the New York Fashion Week in 2017. 

On the same fashion show where the Calabasas Runner was unveiled, the Adidas Yeezy Boost 700 was present and it carried a whopping price tag of $300 per pair. The Boost 700 was the first chunky footwear in the Yeezy collection and was released exclusively in a few retailers.

The first installment of the Yeezy Boost 700 was called the Wave Runner that features Solid Gray/ Chalk White/ Core black hues. It was followed by the Mauve colorway that displays pale purple shade that can be mistaken as pale brown from afar. 

On the last quarter of 2018, West and Adidas unveiled the second installment of the Yeezy Boost 700 called the V2. This sneaker predominantly shares the same chunky profile as its ancestor but with modernized elements to make it sleeker. The upper has welded synthetic materials with 3M details all over to make it more striking even on low lights.
