Within the past two years, the Yeezy Boost 700 has transformed from being the butt of a joke to one of the most sought-after sneakers in history. Since it made its debut in 2017, the chunky runner has birthed four iconic colourways, with the fifth one, the Yeezy Boost 700 V2 'Geode', set to release this coming Saturday, March 23rd at 7am over at adidas UK.
With that said, we set up a Twitter poll to find out if sneakerheads think the 700 has taken over the 350 as the most popular Yeezy model. Of course, this might sound like a pretty big statement to make, but we actually got some pretty surprising results.

First off, a whopping 55% (over half!) of people thought that the Yeezy Boost 350 is still more popular. This shouldn't come as a surprise, as the 350 did launch more than two years before the 700 and also has twenty more colourways. That being said, one Twitter user stated, "Definitely not, but the Yeezy Boost 700 V1 is undoubtedly the most original and stunning silhouette yet!"; - something we definite'y agree with.
With its retro-inspired looks and highly intricate design, the 700 may not be for everyone, but it's definitely unique to say the least. This Saturday's 'Geode' is the perfect example of this. Dressed from heel to toe in luxe leather and supple suede, a breathable mesh is thrown across it for the perfect all-year-round wear.
Secondly, 25% of sneakerheads do thought that the 700 has taken over as the most popular Yeezy - that's one quarter of the thousands of people surveyed! While this is a pretty shocking number, it really does show how powerful trends can be. The chunky sneaker trend first began at the start of 2018, and while it might not have been taken that seriously at the start, we can pretty much guarantee that every sneakerhead has at least one pair of dad shoe in their daily rotation.
If you're thinking of copping your first chunky crep without going too crazy, you should consider that upcoming 'Geode' that's hitting shelves on March 23rd at 7am over at adidas UK. Set to be one of the most limited Yeezys to date, a full length Boost midsole and durable gum rubber outsole makes these some of the comfiest kicks in the game.
Finally, 20% of people thought that both the 350 and 700 are pretty much equals. This is insane since the former dropped all the way back in 2015 while the latter launch just two years ago. While both models sit on top of full length Boost midsoles, they are completely different from one another in every single way possible. With that said, one Twitter user stated, "In years to come, the 700 v1 will go down as the best Yeezy ever.";
What do you think? Has the 700 taken over the 350 as the most popular Yeezy? The Yeezy Boost 700 V2 'Geode' is set to launch this coming Saturday, March 23rd at 7am over at adidas UK. Let us know if you'll be adding a pair to your sneaker collection, and while you're here, take a look at adidas' full sneaker range!
