Divorce drama aside, 2022 seems like a big year for Kanye West. The rapper’s Adidas Yeezy brand has a wave of sneakers set to return this year, including its Yeezy Boost 350 V2, “Waverunner” Yeezy Boost 700, “Blush” Yeezy 500 model, and as most recently confirmed, its “Safflower” Yeezy 700 V3.
The latter stands among one of Yeezy’s original models: The Yeezy 700 V3 was first revealed by Kanye on Twitter in 2018, later appearing in the rapper’s Forbes interview and in a viral video co-starring DJ Khaled. It didn’t release to the public until the fall of 2020, when it sold out in seconds. Unlike previous models, the V3 sneaker does away with Boost features entirely and instead opts for a chunkier yet minimal aesthetic.
