Buckle Up, Because Yeezy Day 2022 Is Here
While the artist formerly known as Kanye West may be an iconic Gemini, it makes sense that Yeezy Day—a.k.a. your annual best shot at snagging a pair of Yeezy sneakers at retail prices—falls during Leo season. Now’s the time to show up and show off.
Since Ye and Adidas teamed up to make sneakers in 2013, Yeezys have been difficult for consumers to get their hands on, at least without hitting the secondhand market. In recent years, though, Ye’s premonition that “Eventually everybody who wants to get Yeezys will get Yeezys” has become somewhat more true: Yeezy sneakers, as opposed to the brand’s very popular and harder-to-get foam slides, have come to dominate StockX sales. In response to all this, the brands introduced Yeezy Day in 2019 as a semiannual release of new and restocked styles across their sales platforms. In standard Ye fashion, the particulars tend to make themselves known spontaneously, but here’s what the Yeezy Day 2022 grapevine has revealed so far.
Taking place across Monday, August 1 (today!) and Tuesday, August 2 (tomorrow!), drops will occur on the Adidas Confirmed app—we’d recommend downloading now so you’re prepped—and the Yeezy Supply website, where new styles will go up for grabs without much warning. Currently, the Yeezy Supply homepage features a pair of very wavy Yeezy 450s and a countdown clock ticking down to around 7 a.m. EST on Tuesday, August 2—which is presumably when you’ll be able to hit the buy button on a pair. (The page also has a prompt where you can sign up for email updates.)
Other styles anticipated to drop during Yeezy Day 2022 include the Yeezy Boost 350 ‘Turtle Dove’, Yeezy Foam Runner ‘Vermillion’, Yeezy 350 V2 ‘Core Red’, Yeezy Boost 350 V2 ‘Core White’ (Oreo), Yeezy 700 V3 ‘Azeal’, Yeezy 700 V1 ‘Analog’, Yeezy 350 V2 ‘Sesame’, Yeezy 700 V2 ‘Static’, Yeezy 350 V2 ‘Hyperspace’, and the Yeezy 700 V2 ‘Tephra,’ among others.
If you’re feeling lucky and want some advice on which pair to choose, feel free to cross-reference this list with our definitive ranking of the best Yeezy sneakers. (And if you want to skip the fuss entirely—and don’t care how much you have to pay to do it—you can always head straight to resale sites like StockX to buy the Yeezy of your choice hassle-free.) Godspeed!
