Following the termination of its partnership with Ye in October 2022, adidas has gradually been cleaning out its massive remaining inventory of YEEZY products. Two years later, it appears as if the Three Stripes has finally gotten down to the dregs and detritus: select YEEZY models have been spotted at adidas outlet stores for prices as low as $30 USD.
As shown in a video captured by @laced_heat at a Niagra Falls, NY adidas outlet, the Yeezy QNTM and Yeezy BOOST 700 MNVN are on the shelves priced more than 80% under their original $250 USD and $220 USD MSRPs. Both models likely made their way down the supply chain when they didn’t sell out during adidas’ vast run of YEEZY restocks and sales earlier in the year, and are now being treated as final clearance products, if only in smaller sizes.
The YEEZY line and Ye’s fall from footwear grace have been well-documented since before the partnership was officially dissolved, and even after it was Ye still continued to collect handsome sums on product sales. Nevertheless, it’s striking to see a line that was once responsible for $1-2B USD in annual sales — and dominant on aftermarket platforms as well — reduced to taking up space in an outlet store alongside other fading adidas products.
Though the final vestiges of the partnership are fading away, Ye has, for better or worse, stayed active in the footwear world over the last twelve months by releasing his infamous $20 USD YZY PODS slip-ons and, more recently, firing Steven Smith from Yeezy.
