The YEEZY Boost 350 is Kanye West’s second model developed with adidas Originals. The adidas Yeezy Boost 350 low “Grey” release date was June 27th, and retailed for $200. The limited-edition sneaker is exquisitely designed featuring beautiful yet simple materials. The forward combination of Primeknit, premium leathers, and full length BOOST™ midsole into a moccasin style construction transcends current sneaker trends.
