Everyone deserves a little helping hand when it comes to Yeezy releases - especially ones as hyped as the Yeezy Boost 350 V2 "Linen". The latest instalment from Kanye West's 2020 line-up arrives this weekend with stock numbers rumoured to be limited. We're not saying this is anywhere near the rarity of earlier Yeezy 350s but it's still going to be a challenging cop. And that's not exactly reassuring given there'll be so many of you desperate to get your hands on these!
We feel your struggle which is why we've put together these 3 essential tips to copping the Yeezy 350 "Linen". We can't promise you'll get lucky but this could tip the odds in your favour!
It's essential to get your eyes on the prize and that means getting prepared ahead of time. Your first step should be bookmarking any online releases. Product pages for the 350 "Linen" are already up at Foot Locker UK!
Admittedly, there won't be many others launching online. As with most Yeezys, these were raffled by the majority of retailers. That includes adidas UK who'll be raffling pairs and announcing winners on Saturday morning! That said, you'll want to rely on retailers like Foot Locker especially as they're rumoired to be launching decent stock. Just be sure to login to your Foot Locker account beforehand as sizes might not show otherwise.

"Keep Calm and Carry On" - this slogan now more relevant than ever as we deal with the boredom of quarantine. It's a message that perfectly applies to the release of hyped sneakers too!
Persistence goes a long way in helping you cop a limited pair of sneakers! Don't get us wrong, there's nothing more frustrating than wasting an entire morning staring mindlessly at a virtual queue! We feel your misery and after all, this is cutting into your valuable Saturday morning lie-in. It all seems hopeless when your left with nothing to show for it! That said, you'll have a much better chance if you stay in the game long enough to win.
Avoid the temptation to roll over and go back to sleep if you don't succeed within the first twenty minutes. The launch of Yeezy Boost 350s should be considered a marathon not a sprint! Take tomorrows release via Foot Locker as an example. If previous styles are anything to go by, the majority of stock will launch up to an hour or even two after the queue begins at 7am. That means all of you who stay patient should be the ones left smiling at the end of it all!
This is arguably the most important tip for any of you sneaker collectors, and the one most likely to get you an easy win on the adidas Yeezy 350 "Linen"! It couldn't be simpler too, all you need to do is follow @thesolerestocks and turn on those notifications.
Yeezy restocks are so common in the hours (and days) after launch that it almost seems too easy! The team behind @thesolerestocks is constantly scouring retailers and they even have insider know-how too! That means you'll never have a better chance of securing a limited pair than when you're following this account and watching out for notifications!
The Yeezy Boost 350 V2 "Linen" launches 7am, Saturday 17th April! Watch our exclusive unboxing below!
