ADIDAS X YEEZY COLLAB OFFICIAL THREAD *NO LC's PLEASE*

Just got shipping for the Brown hoodie, via Lasership, yikes

I'm pretty sure I did as well, the 350s to me still look like a glorified Roshe Run.

If we’re being real, 350 V1s are absolutely stole the Roshe Run design. When the V2s were released, the differences are more noticeable.

Moon rocks still my favorite 350, but still prefer the design of the V2s for sure. Stripe makes a world of a difference for me.

Yeah I think the V1s also aged poorly, in terms of design. The cws were good but the print on the upper has been used to death on so many bad fakes/knockoffs.

One of my yeezy gap hoodies shipped, the light brown one. Others still say be here by Oct 27th.

AGREE. V1’S JUST LOOK STRANGE TO ME BECAUSE THEY ARE RARELY SEEN. . SO USED TO SEEING V2’S.

he kinda was going that route when he created the 350 tho

mentioned it in a interview, how can he replace that shoe

That shoe was a flash in the pan though. Seemed to have little/no staying power.

Didn't Kanye openly admit to that though? I don't think that was a secret. He loved the Roshe and wanted to make a better version of the Roshe.......and he did. Never had a pair of V1s and had only a few V2s. I'm not the biggest fan of either model but I have no problem saying that given a couple more years the v2 will easily be one of the best sneakers of all time if not already. The V1s didn't age poorly in mind. they did exactly what they were supposed to do. Just enough colors, just enough releases. They should never retro for a very long time. Same for 750s.

 

[1c3m4m]

^ he definitely did, forgot what specific interview but his goal was to replace it because he seen it everywhere

mission accomplished

Calypso, Iguana, Mango, Black/Sail Roshe's >>>> 350's

I guess my point was-did anyone actually care about the Roshe to begin with? They were basically a bargain bin shoe. I can’t think of a single hyped release of the model.

Which is also why 350v2 didnt age well either

For some reason clowns still think v2s are hot tho

They basically a relic at this point from an era where people actually wanted knit "sock like sneakers" like UB nmd etc that are also all dead af now

Dudes getting stuck in the past rocking v2s and super skinny ankle zipper jeans thinking its a drip still in 2021 lmao

 

[rbk93]

The recent CWs have been trash, but it's still the quintessential Yeezy shoe. Definitely one of the most popular new models in recent years too.

 

[nuclear1990]

I had a pair of Roshes. Overrated junk.

When you live in an area where they are common (seen numerous times daily) among even non - sneakerhead types and also people rocking fake versions etc. It really makes it clear how out of style the model really has become and makes any OG yeezy head embarrassed to have ever been a part of the hype

They really are dead and not "hot" to see anymore

Literally just SMH everytime I see anyone in v2s especially when you can just tell they brand new to sneakers or dont really know ****

i nvr had a pair, didnt appeal to me, heard it was comfy tho

Didn't realize the GAP YZY hoodies were cropped. I guess I have to get rid of the light brown since it's medium. Hopefully the other 2 large will be good.

 

[DAV]

Gap hoodie fit looks like trash. My $10 fruit of the loom hoodie got the same fit as the yeezy gap hoodie after one wash. Big sleeves with a cropped torso.

also everybody and they mama loved roshes at one point it was defiantly the most popular shoe in 2015. They were a cheap option with a simple and clean design.

It was a huge seller and it was everywhere. It was ubiquitous and was a go to sneaker for a few years. Kanye was trying to improve upon that idea. The Roshe was everywhere like Air Max 270s, adidas nmds, huaraches and even air force 1s. I never liked them and never owned a pair but, they were indeed all over the place. Kanye wasn't trying to replicate hype. Hype was a byproduct. A necessary byproduct but, a by product nonetheless. Kanye is tryin to build/building an empire. You can't build an empire off of hype alone and limited drops. Our corner of sneaker culture is miniscule compared to where these sneaker companies really make bank. Watch some Ye' interviews about his ideas for his brand. Whether you like him or not and regardless of if you like the shoes, we can't debate the results.

i vividly remember Calypso’s having a little hype but other than the nothing especially once the 350’s dropped

At the time the Roshes were a super unique shoe too.

 

[rbk93]

Probably wasn't the aim, but Roshes reminded me of Toms.
