before you look ahead to the 2019 Yeezy line-up, first let’s reflect on some of last year’s major styles. how numerous did you cop and will you be amazed at the current resell valuation?!
Kanye West remains a polarising figure in the streetwear scene but despite what the haters say, Yeezy is very much alive! In fact, last year saw record Yeezy sales with much more stock released than ever before. It’s now way simpler to protected from this sought after collection, but that doesn’t look to have affected demand – at least not yet!
Here we’ve noted the 2018 range from many to least valuable. let us know your thoughts below; could some of these increase in value over time or is the Yeezy brand slowly losing its influence?!
Yeezy Calabasas Powerphase Black
Retail price: £90
Current resell price: £75 to £95
It’s not everyday that you can cop a Yeezy for less than retail but some sizes are selling for below £90 on eBay. Pulling inspiration from the old-school, this Reebok inspired trainer makes for a terrific everyday beater.
Yeezy 700 Mauve
Retail price: £249
Current resell price: £240 to £260
As one of the only Yeezys to still be available at certain retailers, it’s hardly unexpected that the ‘Mauve’ is re-selling for close to retail. clearly those who purchased just to make a profit will have to wait some years until these increase in value.
Yeezy 500 Salt
Retail price: £170
Current resell price: £165 to £180
Most of you won’t be amazed to see this Yeezy reselling for close to the retail. Admittedly, the colourway is a bit odd – not quite grey and not quite green. It’s also painfully similar to the previous styles.
Yeezy increase 350 V2 Butter
Retail price: £170
Current resell price: £170 to £185
A cosmic yellow glow hits this tonal crafted ‘SPLY-350′, an instant sellout when it arrived last year. That said, these were far from limited which has brought the resell price down significantly. As a seriously hot summer shoe, don’t expect those prices not to creep up as we head into the warmer months.
Yeezy 500 very Moon Yellow
Retail price: £170
Current resell price: £170 to £190
Another interesting colourway which divided opinion when it landed earlier in the year. Whilst not everyone is convinced with the Desert Rat, there’s still enough demand from the fashion conscious sneakerhead.
Yeezy increase 350 V2 White
Retail price: £170
Current resell price: £170 to £190
That major restock in 2018 was adidas’ most significant launch of the year with much more than 100,000 pairs thought to have gone live. despite the overwhelming amount of stock, sizes are still selling for much more than retail. who said Yeezy is “Dead”;!
Yeezy 500 Blush
Retail price: £170
Current resell price: £175 to £220
Arguably the most versatile of the 500 colourways, this style can be worn with everything from thick joggers to shorts and cargo pants. That goes someway to discussing why these are much more important than others in the range.
Yeezy increase 350 V2 Sesame
Retail price: £170
Current resell price: £180 to £220
Everyone seemed to love the Sesame and that’s reflected in the current valuation. even though adidas released a substantial amount of stock, these are still enhancing in price and will likely be a major commodity years from now.
Yeezy increase 350 V2 Semi Frozen Yellow
Retail price: £170
Current resell price: £190 to £225
It’s last year’s many eye-popping colourway, a once controversial shoe that has now been accepted by the masses. Take a walk down your local high-street and you’ll soon spot someone wearing these – they’re everywhere!
Yeezy increase 350 V2 Static
Retail price: £170
Current resell price: £195 to £230
Another not-so limited release yet people are turning a profit on the clear-stripe Yeezy 350. These are the first of their kind to feature a mesh stripe as well as a funky patterned upper.
Yeezy increase 350 V2 Zebra
Retail price: £170
Current resell price: £210 to £280
That global restock did nothing to quench the demand for this renowned colourway. Thankfully, these aren’t too extortionately priced on eBay but as with many Yeezys, these will no doubt increase over time.
Yeezy 700 Wave Runner OG
Retail price: £250
Current resell price: £290 to £360
The original which started it all and still one of the most sought-after amongst collectors. You just know these will be worth a fortune 10 years from now!
Yeezy 500 utility Black
Retail price: £170
Current resell price: £220 to £280
A stealthy colourway hits the chunky father shoe bringing somewhat of a low-key vibe to an otherwise appealing silhouette. If you’d held onto these when they first launched, you could have made a tidy profit of £80+.
Yeezy 700 v2 Static
Retail price: £250
Current resell price: £300 to £390
A brand-new style and the final Yeezy release of 2018. The hits of 3M are what sets this aside from the rest! As a limited release, only a few thousands of these launched which only adds to the appeal. along with the 350 Statics, these are one of the rarest Yeezys for some time.
Yeezy increase 350 V2 Reflective Static
Retail price: £170
Current resell price: £340 to £450
These launched exclusively at Yeezy supply in a size run thought to be no much more than 5,000 pairs. For such a limited release, you might expect even higher resell prices. Admittedly, this is the most sought-after of the 2018 line-up!
