Need Some New Kicks? What About These New Yeezy Boots from Adidas?

August 18, 2015 Alan Cross 1 Comment

The new YEEZY BOOST (yes, “boost”) 350 black will go on sale worldwide Saturday for $265 CAD. As a guy who likes comfortable casual shoes, I kinda like the look of them. If these were normal sneaks, I’d think about getting a pair.

But you know sneaker culture: the shoes will sell out almost immediately and appear on eBay within seconds at greatly inflated prices. If you’re quick, you might want to snap up a couple of pair and put them on the shelf and let them appreciate a little.

If all this is too dear, there will be a silent raffle beginning today in Adidas stores in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. Good luck.
