Matt Varga Though he isn’t signed to any major brand, Kanye West’s Yeezy brand has remained a constant headline all year. Be it his firing Steven Smith, the introduction of his Yeezy Pods or most importantly, adidas’ efforts to liquidate remaining stock, the aftershocks of Ye have been very much been felt throughout the industry. If price points have stopped you from picking up his sprawling Three Stripes line in the past, there’s truly never been a better time to get in. Yeezy sneakers are now being spotted for their lowest prices ever.
@laced_heat shares video from a Niagara Falls adidas outlet where a handful of models like the Yeezy QNTM and 700 MNVN stand with $40 and $30 price tags respectively, a far jump from their initial $200+ sticker prices when the silhouettes debuted in 2020. It’s important to note that both models featured consistently sat in the recent spate of Yeezy restocks, and only smaller sizes are on shelves in this footage.
Nonetheless, moments like this highlight the enduring “how the mighty have fallen” moment for adidas Yeezy, as these ultra-low retail prices are as close to a major brand giving pairs away as you’ll ever see. West’s radioactive reputation in the industry certainly makes up a portion of that, but the footwear space has also moved beyond the design language of later Yeezy work, despite many of the offerings playing a part in ushering in now-dominant trends.
All that said, check your local Three Stripes outlets; you just might be able to pick up some new Yeezys for the cost of an UberEats order.
