Yeezy and Adidas' partnership has launched some revolutionary colorways ever since their official collaboration in 2015. In 2015, the presentation of Adidas x Yeezy rewrote the modern fashion template and contemporary art to create a vibrant spectacle.

Since Yeezy Season 1, Kanye West and Adidas have proven to be a strong alliance. The Boost 750 silhouette marked the start of the collaboration between Adidas and Ye, and set off a global consumer sensation.

As a follow-up, the dynamic duo launched the highly coveted Boost 350 silhouette. It is also one of the fastest-selling footwear models in history. The resulting design led to a consumer frenzy, followed by unprecedented sales.

Ye has been very busy since the start of the year, coming off the heels of an album rollout, YeezyGap engineered by Balenciaga collab, a long-awaited reunion with Jay-Z, and more. Despite his busy schedule, Ye hasn't forgotten his creation with Adidas, which hasn't shown any signs of slowing down in 2022.

From introducing new colorways, new models, and even restocks of classic colorways, the Yeezy brand has kept new things on the horizon in 2022.
