Yeezy Day has returned! After a year-long hiatus, the unofficial Three Stripe holiday is here to drop new and old releases from the Yeezy catalog. Read below to see what to expect from today's releases.

As if Kanye West teasing another album weren’t enough, Yeezy and adidas are coming together once again to bring back Yeezy Day. Started in 2019, the first Yeezy Day was filled with restocks of popular Yeezy models. Despite a brief hiatus because of 2020’s COVID-19, the unofficial holiday resumes in 2021. Just like 2019, this year’s Yeezy Day will be filled with the return of some of Yeezy’s most desired colorways and silhouettes. Since the first Yeezy Day saw a mix of 20 old and new colorways drop, it is hard to pinpoint everything that will be released this year, but here’s a list of everything that will supposedly make an appearance today. And who knows, maybe he’ll also drop that album as a bonus.

adidas Yeezy Foam RNNR “Ochre”

The controversial Yeezy Foam RNNR is set to debut two new colorways today, with the first being the rumored Ochre colorway. Like past Yeezy Foam RNNR releases, the clog features a monochromatic theme throughout its algae and EVA foam construction. Oval holes on each side allow for ventilation to the wearer’s feet.

adidas Yeezy Foam RNNR “MX Cream Clay”

The second Foam RNNR to see a release is the adidas Yeezy Foam RNNR “MX Cream Clay”. This colorway of the multi-colored clog has a mix of grey, Clay, and Cream streaks all over the silhouette.

adidas Yeezy 700 “Wave Runner”

Returning for Yeezy Day is a classic for the Yeezy lineage, the adidas Yeezy 700 “Wave Runner”. Debuting back in 2017, the Wave Runner was the first colorway to introduce the now familiar Yeezy 700 model. The colorway has already made multiple returns, restocking in both 2018 and 2019.

adidas Yeezy 350 V2 “Zebra”

An OG to the Yeezy dynasty is the adidas Yeezy 350 v2 “Zebra”. The Zebra is another colorway that is no stranger to restocks, as the sneaker has restocked six times, with its most recent return being last December. Despite its prevalence in the sneaker market, the Zebras haven’t lost their resell strength, with resale prices remaining 72% above their original $220 MSRP.

adidas Yeezy 350 V2 “Black Reflective”

The adidas Yeezy 350 V2 “Black Reflective” was the second ever 350 model to feature a reflective knitted upper. Outside of its reflective attributes, the colorway takes on similar design cues from the original Yeezy 350 Pirate Black. Its all-black design makes it a favorite among the 350 V2 catalog.

adidas Yeezy 350 V2 “Cloud Reflective”

Another reflective model seeing a restock is the adidas Yeezy 350 V2 “Cloud Reflective”. The upper brought a lighter touch to the 350 V2 family in 2019. Consisting of both Light Blue and Light Grey knitted uppers, the sneaker gives off the soft hues found in a cloud, while reflective knitting throughout brings brightness to the colorway, like a strike of lightning.

adidas Yeezy 350 V2 “Synth Reflective”

The adidas Yeezy 350 V2 “Synth Reflective” release was a special regional drop alongside its “Antila” and “Lundmark” pack-mates. Its exclusivity to only Asian and Oceanian regions made it impossible for most to get a pair for retail, but this Yeezy Day gives everyone else a fair shot at scooping a pair. And if you do happen to get a pair for retail, you’re looking at a sizable return on your investment, as the “Synth Reflective” is seeing a 528% price premium on our site.

adidas Yeezy 350 V2 “Tail Light”

Similar to the “Synth Reflective”, the adidas Yeezy 350 V2 “Tail Light” also followed a regional release mechanic in 2020. Exclusive to the EU, the 350 V2 “Tail Light” features a majority grey knit color-blocked upper, with flashes of neon red appearing on the heel.

adidas Yeezy 700 MNVN “Triple Black”

The adidas Yeezy 700 MNVN Triple Black will see a return for Yeezy Day. The colorway was released in February 2020 and has already seen a restock in May, just three months later. The MNVN Triple Black colorway introduced the boldly emblazoned “700” on the upper. And if the 700 wasn’t large enough, the numbers are stenciled with reflective material to make them even harder to miss.

adidas Yeezy 700 MNVN “Orange”

Yeezy is no stranger to bright colors, and the adidas Yeezy 700 MNVN Orange is as bright as they come. Yeezy Day will mark the first time the colorway is seeing a restock. The 700 MNVN Orange was released within the same winter month as the Triple Black last year. Similar to the 700 MNVN Triple Black, the Orange sees an entirely reflective “700”, while an Orange nylon upper provides flexibility.

adidas Yeezy 700 V3 “Dark Glow”

 

The adidas Yeezy 700 V3 “Dark Glow” is a never-before-seen colorway that just dropped on Yeezy Supply. The only images that the Yeezy Team have supplied were of the sneaker glowing in the dark. Rumor has it that the sneaker looks eerily similar to the 2020’s Yeezy 700 V3 Alvah release. At the moment of writing this post, the sneaker still seems to be available on Yeezy Supply.
