Taking an L on a hyped Yeezy release can be heartbreaking. No matter how early you get up or how many devices you use, copping is never, ever guaranteed, and this was certainly the case for the adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 'Zebra', with some sizes selling out literally within minutes. That being said, we've compiled a list of five fire sneakers to help ease the pain of the L you took over the weekend. We're here for you, sneakerheads.
Engineered Garments x adidas Consortium Ultra Boost 1.0
Crafted from Primeknit, the Engineered Garments x adidas Consortium Ultra Boost 1.0 is painted in a striking blue tone. Red and white accents are present for a patriotic vibe, and like all Consortium releases, the signature hole punch can be seen on the tongue, reminding sneakerheads that this isn't just any old Ultra Boost. Down below, a full length Boost midsole is present, and to round it all off, a durable gum rubber outsole is used, making these perfect for the wet and windy days ahead.
Pharrell x adidas NMD Hu Inspiration 'Footwear White'
Painted in a pristine colourway, the Pharrell x adidas NMD Hu Inspiration 'Footwear White' is crafted from a stretchy Primeknit. Bold orange hues can be seen on the rope laces, and a dash of vibrant yellow is present around the back for a bit of contrast. Chinese characters are embroidered onto the uppers for that unmistakably Human Race vibe, and down below, a full length Boost midsole is present for additional comfort and a smoother stride.
adidas Ultra Boost 4.0 'Breast Cancer Awareness'
If this released last year, it would've sold like hotcakes. Spreading awareness for a good cause, the adidas Ultra Boost 4.0 'Breast Cancer Awareness' boasts a Primeknit upper, with 'Shock Pink' accents also making an appearance. A breast cancer ribbon can be seen around the back to remind you that this UB is releasing for a special cause.
Sneakersnstuff x adidas Originals NMD R1 'Blue Night'
The sequel to one of 2017's hottest sneakers, the Sneakersnstuff x adidas Originals NMD R1 'Blue Night' will make you green with envy. Coloured in a 'Core Black, 'Blue Night', 'Core Blue' colour combination, this NMD is inspired by datamoshing, which is the process of manipulating the data of media files in order to achieve a unique visual effect. If you missed out on the 'Zebra', this should easy your heartbreak nicely.
adidas Yeezy Boost 700 'Mauve'
And last but not least, we have the adidas Yeezy Boost 700 'Mauve'. The marmite of the sneaker world. you either love these to bits, or you hate them with a deep, burning passion. Literally still sitting, these are painted in an earthy brown shade, and are constructed from leather and mesh. Sitting on top of a chunky midsole which is finished off with a tough and durable gum rubber outsole underneath. To round off the design, bright green accents feature for a beautifully contrasted aesthetic.
