Kanye West's Yeezy Boost 350s have long been a fashion unicorn that sneaker pimps have remained ISO. These much-desired kicks are back, but with quite a new look. The Yeezy Boost 350 V2 has a fresh design, featuring a bright, traffic cone orange stripe on the side. The orange stripe is stamped with "SPLV 350." West himself wore a version of this style in the spring and it was thought to be customized by and for the designer with no plans for production. However, the Yeezy Boost 350 V2 goes on sale on Saturday, Sept. 24. You can attempt to buy the much-desired kicks by signing up for the Yeezy Boost 350 V2 via PacSun raffles. That only offers you a possible chance to purchase the footwear at select locations. So, how are the Yeezy Boost 350 V2s different? What's new and exciting, and the source of all the hype and convoluted shopping processes?
Well, a lot of things, according to the animated video detailing the Yeezy Boost 350 V2. Adidas tweeted cute, fun-to-watch clips of the production process.

The shoe is said to fit like a second skin, which is always important because ill-fitting shoes cause blisters and other discomforts.
According to the animated video, the Boost 350 V2 has three different color yarns, internal toe box reinforcement, and internal three stripe detailing on the heel, along with cool details on the outsole, like the signature Yeezy Boost window cutout.
Fascinating, isn't it? All those deets are cool for sneaker nerds, but regular fashionistas are all about that POW! pop of color.
That orange stripe provides quite a pop of color. The video calls it "Solar Red." It looks like radioactive orange to me. If you wear this gray x gray shoe with a monochromatic ensemble, you still get the burst of color from your Boosts.
You can argue with a second skin fit.
The brand is clearly hyping the redesign and the comfort level of the Yeezy Boost 350 V2, that's for sure.
