The First Adidas "YEEZY" Sneaker WITHOUT Kanye West!
What I'm Wearing:
Today im taking a look at the rumoured first Adidas "Yeezy" Sneaker after the collaboration ended. Adidas terminated the Yeezy contract in October & immediately stopped production of all Yeezy branded products, however this gets a bit confusing as recent leaks & todays sneakers say otherwise... Today I break down this topic and take a look at the sneaker itself to try find out what Adidas is planning.
Let me know what you think of this down in the comments below!

What I read was Adidas had all the legal rights to Kanye’s shoe brand
the thing I find craziest about all of this is that Adidas isn't planning on changing the price. I have a feeling Adidas is not going to be selling that many 350, 500, 700 and 450s. the only positive thing about this is that now that they are just regular Adidas releases and not collabs then maybe Adidas will have them on sale once they see that they aren't selling at the price they are asking.

The 350's you have is without a doubt a manufactured pair before the split up. As for the picture of the 500's, it isn't hard to believe that the picture could have been taken a while back before the fallout between Adidas and Ye.

Its not uncommon for major companies to finish any current productions on product that has been written off contracted deals or recalls. The picture was over a month old when it was posted on House of Heat, so like I said... they chose to use an older photo rather than take another photo of the same shoe with a new insole. To be honest, they probably don't have any new insoles for the 500 yet because this shoe does not have a release date that I know of.

That pair was out and for sale in Europe shortly after the fall out, so there was a stock in distribution. The only thing that happened, shoe stores that had them in stock tried to get rid of them as soon as possible and with no on-line coverage. No raffle, no standing in line to get a pair. All you had to do is walk in the store. It was also sold 100 euros over the normal retail price where I got them from(300 euros).

Due to the planned timing of the original release and when Adidas ended their partnership with Ye, there is a good chance this was a seeded pair that someone received in anticipation of that original date.

Adidas already told us they have $530mil of yeezys. So they need to sell it or loose that money, I would think if they did change it would come after those old existing pairs are gone. I didn't think they would use the SPLY-350, but now after hearing about their request to trademark that term, it appears obvious they will continue with the same shoes. It made sense as far as wanting to sell old stock. I want to know when they filed for the trademark and why Kanye didn't beat them to the punch.

It's possible the leaked images, and the pair you have in hand, were backdoored before they had a massive shift in production to remove the branding. This shift in terms of publicity is immediate, but as far as production, that shift would take a lot of time considering how far in advance shoes are produced before release. Obviously we can only speculate, but it'll be interesting to see how this plays out! Keep up the great videos Elliot, you're putting out the best content for sneakers right now homie.

I got the Granites from StockX. Probably my last pair of "Yeezys". New Balance has been killing it lately and I'd focus on those. The new 9060s are amazing.
The factory did not get the memo.. also it is hard to stop the productions of new yzys if adidas has a contract with the factories who makes them. You have to think of logistics in a much bigger scale...

As a big Yeezyhead myself i completely lost interests in Yeezys since Adidas cut him. Idc what anyone tells me, that was such idiotic move on their part
Manufactures can’t change manufacturing plans on a whim. Likely takes several months. So production dates after the deal severance still makes sense.
Personally I think both 350s and 500s were prepared to be released so maybe in Adidas-Kanye collaboration ending it was written that all shoes produced and the shoes which production is planned yet (signed to be produced) must be sold in case not to lose money. It could be that after some time they will change it a little, but these releases gonna be the same as during work with Kanye.
Wow, great vid amd detective work Elliot, thanks for the info. 😊
They can’t sell YZY without the branding, they will instantly be seen as lesser and would not be as popular. This is what Kanye actually meant when he said YZY can’t drop him. His name is what sells the shoes, like it or not the shoe isn’t valuable without the creators name attached.
Kanye is getting a cut from Adidas without being the face of yeezys. I'm pretty sure he said it in one of those rant videos.
The 500’s do confuse me though, that makes no sense as to why they would produce more YZY insoles if they were produced in November, sure it’s close enough to the split. But the fact is it’s after the split. They had to reach some agreement or there has to be something in the contract stating they don’t need to. My thoughts are after the extremely bad response to the new pairs came they struck some deal with Ye. Or maybe something even crazier happened and the partnership wasn’t fully terminated.

This is certainly not the official adidas release. Goat / other chains would have stock piled, prior to the Ye/adidas break up. The only way to truly know the differences, would be to buy them from adidas directly when they release.

They already are tbh
Best way we can see this forward is think if this as any Nike cactus Jack collab. It’s like the Cactus Jack 4 but removing the logo for Jordan or Mike air on both tabs
Maybe these were back doored before adidas cut kanye & so they still have YZY branding. There’s still time for the January drop to be different
Love the content bro. Keep up the great work and don’t stop the grind!
The first feezys 😂
You bought the Yeezys that got away. GOAT already had them before they dropped Kanye
Your videos are simply just dope!
Best design ever . We have to thank kanye for this. I have every single edition of this design
Lets be honest if Adidas always made yeezys without kanye no one would buy them
I don't think the other versions will be like that. The other pair won't have any yeezy branding. I seriously doubt it.
Is goat seriously better than stock X? I keep hearing many positive reviews and all but wanna confirm first before buying.

Not going to lie, they are literally all the same..
Just a speculation, but there's a chance that this is one of the early pairs that came out of the factory while Kanye and Adidas still had the partnership. The reason why it still has the Yeezy branding on it.

They’re already rising. Sad.
This is an interesting issue, while adidas has full ownership of the designs and no doubt should sell the remaining pairs the question of wether they should continue to produce items designed by kanye west is an interesting one. As someone who's bording on being a kanye fan myself, I think it's quite sad he doesn't own the designs to his shoes. However in those desgins he made several cuts to make it more paletable to the average person so adidas would sell more, so in that same breath... they aren't completely the work of kanye either, and are not exactly what he wanted in the firstplace. Personally, if I was CEO of adidas I would still continue to sell the designs. However the question on pricing now starts to come up. The price for the 350's being the same makes sense, they are basically an ultra boost with several more complex and harder to produce details so them being about $50 more isn't insane. Especially considering that while publicly adidas doens't like kanye, in private they still have to pay him hundreds of millions until his contract officialy ends. Quite frankly adidas entire anti-kanye stunt was just marketing to make people happy. I'd argue myself that I'm still a kanye fan, although I dislike some of his objectivley anti-semtic statments. I do agree with the majority of the other things he says, espeicaly about the music, sports, fashion and entertainment industry as a whole. I also enjoy the vast majority of his music, and the vast majority of his fashion. So in public I act like I'm not a fan, but since I'm watching everything he's doing regardless of my opinion... I'm still a fan. Same thing for all the anti andrew tate fans.... if you watch everything hes doing, you are still a fan. Would I personally buy these granite sneakers? If I actually liked the color blocking I would, but I dont. If they released the all black 750's, I'd be buying multiple pairs. Either way, kanye is gettting paid until 2024 and until then I'll continue to buy yeezy items (although i will argue a lot of the newer stuff isn't growing on me as much as the old designs that where ground breaking for the time) Anyways, that was my little rant. I know a lot of people on the fence about this issue will agree to an extent however, and I hope kanye does see his mental state improve.
once i get my yeezy boots my collection is done 😭
From what I heard Adidas also owns the Yeezy name ( I heard this when the controversy first started, however they didint want to use it because of the Kanye controversy ) so Kanye only owns the slides.

Remember this is a German company. They are known to be biased on their main market ie Europe. But, Adidas is a titan in America too... so, yeah I think if we apply EU laws in Germany maybe Yeezy is owned by Adidas but not in America.

Adidas gotta lower their prices. If they don’t then ppl won’t buy all 530mil of stock and the shoes will end up going on sale anyway at secondary retailers
Simple answer and you looked way too deep. November is when the shoes finished being manufacturing, it can take 2-3 months to make a mass produced pair of sneakers.
retail price staying the same is a joke
WOW thank u for the review bro, Im really looking towards buying this colorway and i was just hoping it couldve been the last 350 with yzy branding but since it does im most def feel better about it
JD sports UK app had full size runs of mens and womens Yeezy 350s last week but they aren't up anymore unsure if sold out or just removed.
OR you bought some reps 🤦🏻♂️ unwillingly of course, reps do slip through goat and stock x even though they're 'authenticated'
Either way, thank you for the updates, I miss all the yeezy videos
When Ye contract ends the yeezy branding changes. That's why they are keeping the same prices and Ye said he is good by it because he will get paid.
Do you think they plan and execute production in the same day? Something yanked in late October and being produced in early November or any point in November is not unusual. There has been no official drop yet so it's hard to say where the secondary market is getting pairs. There is some smoke here but zero fire. My top takeaway from this video was that the host needs to consider reducing his use of the word "literally" by about 90 percent.
great analysis thanks, a follow up vid would be nice 👍
almost 300k subs W and quick question what are the new "Yeezes" called ? 350s or judt the colour?
ok, I'm gonna jump in here and give my 2c because this has actually happened before with the reebok Big Hurt/Tech 90's for those that don't know there was an MLB player in the 90's who went by the nickname Big Hurt. he signed a deal with reebok to release a line of shoes dubbed Big Hurt. flash forward like to 2010 or something and reebok is like hey let's re-release some hit sneakers from the 90's. so they produce all the shoes and have the boxes made up. now they have all the stock ready they announced the line to the public. now unbeknownst to big hurt someone congratulates him on the fat check he just got. confused he asks the guy why he would say that. he says cause of the shoe deal...reebok re-releasing your line. So BH has someone in his team look at his old contract and turns out the deal expired years ago. basically he contacts reebok and says "pay me!" and they look at the contract and freak out. they don't want to pay him cause he kind of knows he has them by the balls cause they can't just toss the stock and they cant sell it with his IP on the shoes, so what they do is ship out all the stock in the same boxes BUT where the Big Hurt name would be a sticker with the name Tech 90's was placed over the top of it. now as for the soles. the shoes had a logo of a baseball player with the words big hurt on it, so that also had to go. so what they did was put generic soles in the boxes and told the retail stores that staff needed to change out the soles and toss the Big Hurt soles (trying to save on their labor costs). but as you would expect with people making minimum wage, some staff rather then taking the BH sole out just stuffed the generic sole over the top of the BH one or just didn't do it period. meaning you had about 85% of the re-releases with the generic sole and about 15% still with the BH sole. my money is they are going to do the same thing and you will see similar thing of a % of shoes sneaking by without the soles being removed
Bigger question is , does any buy 350’s anymore? Weather it’s has Yezzy branding or not .
