Following the unprecedented global anticipation of the YEEZY BOOST 350 released in a white colorway this past June, Kanye West and adidas Originals now announce the forthcoming global drop of an all black version. The shoe will feature uppers composed of tonal Primeknit: a breakthrough material developed using adidas’ most advanced digital engineering techniques to fit like a second skin. Color-coordinated outsoles leverage adidas BOOST™’s highly responsive properties to offer an unparalleled level of comfort, performance, and style.
Due to extremely limited quantities and high demand, adidas is again evening the playing field by giving its customers the chance to win tickets to buy the exclusive new YEEZY BOOST 350. adidas Originals customers can stand a chance to buy their very own, at a recommended retail price of R2999.00 each, by attending the Yeezy Boost 350 release at the adidas Originals stores in Menlyn Shopping Centre in Pretoria, and Canal Walk shopping centre in Cape Town, as well as Shelflife in Cape Town.
“We wanted to offer everyone interested in owning a pair, a fair opportunity to get their hands on one,” says Ricole Green, Brand Activation Manager for adidas Originals South Africa. The release will happen through a ticket raffle release system, with tickets being drawn at random on the day at 2pm. Quantities are limited and shoe sizes cannot be guaranteed. T & Cs apply. “We urge the public not to be late as anyone joining the queue after the 2pm cut off time, will not receive a raffle ticket.”
