The Yeezy market after adidas: what your pairs are worth now

When adidas ended the Yeezy partnership in late 2022, it sat on a mountain of unsold inventory and eventually chose to sell it off in waves, donating a share of proceeds to anti-hate organizations. Those releases rewrote the Yeezy price map.

The two-tier market

Mass-produced late-era pairs, the 350 V2s in Bone and Onyx, Slides and Foam Runners, saw prices compress toward retail as restock waves hit. Meanwhile the early canon went the other way: the 2015 350 V1s like Turtle Dove and Pirate Black, the 750s, and early limited V2 colorways hold and grow value precisely because no more will ever exist.

What to check before buying or selling

Condition and completeness move Yeezy prices more than most lines: boxes, inserts and unwashed Primeknit matter to collectors. Use the style code to distinguish original runs from later restocks of the same colorway, since collectors pay premiums for first releases. And check the live price history here rather than remembering peak-hype numbers; the 2021 market is not coming back, and pricing to it just means your listing sits.

For wearers rather than collectors, the silver lining is real: icons like the Zebra that once cost triple retail are now genuinely affordable on the secondary market.
