A Yeezy History| Iconic Sneakers

Kanye West started as an artist in music but today, he’s a huge name within the fashion realm. Unlike many celebrities that tag their name onto products of well-established brands, West made his very own. A brand that personifies the rapper’s fashion sense through his sneakers.

Yeezy was started by Kanye West, a famous rapper with a taste for fashion. He took many classes with major designers and helped design his first sneaker, the Bapesta in 2007.

After that, he would land a deal with Nike and come up with gold standard sneakers such as the Air Yeezy. The successors of the Air Yeezy were limited as the partnership did not last long.

After a disagreement about royalties and other vision differences, Kanye signed with Adidas in 2015. This was a game-changer not just for Kanye but also for Adidas. The partnership was extremely lucrative.

Kanye West made millions of dollars while Adidas jumped a spot above Under Armour in annual revenue. The first sneaker was called the Yeezy Boost 700 which was an instant hit.

Although the sneakers looked peculiar, they grew on a lot of people. Kanye continued his trend of strange-looking sneakers, most of which would become extremely popular, including the 500 series.

Now when you look at a Yeezy 500, what do you see? To most, it’s an ugly “dad” shoe. However, it has quite a bit of functionality to it and people are still buying. So why stop making them?

An interesting thing about the Yeezy 500 is that they ditched Boost technology altogether. They added what they call “adiPrene” instead and well, it’s pretty comfortable too!

However, by no means would I call this “new tech” as it’s as old as the KB8 III from 1999. But you know what they say, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”.

The initial release of the Adidas Yeezy 500 Utility Black men’s saw resale prices as high as $1000. To estimate the resale value after it restocks, let’s head on over to StockX.

Adidas Yeezy 500 Soft Vision

Retail Price: $200

Peak Resell: $790

Release Date: 11/02/2019

Colorway: Soft Vision

The Adidas yeezy 500 Soft Vision comes in a light purple hued upper that’s constructed with multiple materials. A leather and mesh upper is contrasted by lighter Vision suede overlay all over.

Netted underlay differentiate the materials while an ADIPRENE soft vision midsole embellishes the design with multiple patterns. A gum rubber outsole finishes off the design.

On StockX, the average selling price is $325 which is an average gross profit of $125 per pair. At peak resale prices, gross profits are as high as $590. The Adidas Yeezy 500 Utility Black Restock will likely have an even higher resale value.

Adidas Yeezy 500 Bone White

Retail Price: $200

Peak Resel: $740

Release Date: 08/24/2019

Colorway: Bone White

The Adidas Yeezy 500 Bone White features a mesh and leather upper with the same suede overlay. The entire sneaker is dressed in very subtle colors such as bone and white, almost the antithesis the Adidas Yeezy 500 Utility Black. However, you can still see the contrast between the suede overlay and netted underlay.

A white midsole is inspired by the Adidas KB3 and a bone outsole finishes off the design.

On StockX, the average selling price per pair is $320 which is an average gross profit of $120 per pair. Had you sold these at peak resale prices, gross profits would have been as high as $540.

Adidas Yeezy 500 Blush

Retail Price: $200

Peak Resell: $1,180

Release Date: 02/16/2018

Colorway: Blush

The 500 “Blush” colorway was the second ever for this silhouette and released on 2018’s NBA all-star weekend. It features a tan premium suede and mesh construction with adiPrene cushioned midsoles and a rubber outsole. They also restocked in April of 2018 after the initial release which was in February.

On StockX, the average selling price per pair is $410 which is an average gross profit of $210. At peak resale prices, resellers have earned over $900 in profits. I believe the Adidas Yeezy 500 Utility Black 2020 will have a similar resale value.

Adidas Yeezy 500 Utility Black Restock

Retail Price: $200

Estimated Resell: $400

Release Date: November/30/2020

Colorway: Utility Black

Yeezy returns with the most sought after colorway of the Yeezy 500, the Utility Black, to finish November off with a bang. This highly awaited restock will take place on November 30th.

This sneaker comes in an entirely blacked-out upper that’s constructed with different materials. Including suede, premium mesh, and leather. An exposed mesh design and low trim makes this silhouette a no-go for the winters, however, don’t let that stop you from grabbing these incredible pairs.

Down below, adiPrene cushioning provides plenty of comfort while its unconventional outsole provides excellent traction. Take a moment to enjoy these official images.

Resale Value

This sneaker is probably the Yeezy 500’s most popular colorway. Judging by the comments of fans and general coverage, I believe these will definitely sell out and be incredibly hard to cop. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!

Using my estimated resell value of $400, expect gross profits of around $200 per pair. Resale might fall than what it is now but not by a lot.
