\"YeezyBoostNB696\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Following their unveiling during the adidas Originals x Kanye West fashion show on 12 February, and a limited app-based release among select New York retailers last weekend, Kanye\u2019s adidas Yeezy 750 Boosts were made available for sale across the United States via adidas.com<\/a> today. While the release\u00a0proved somewhat problematic<\/a>, the edition sold out within a couple of hours.<\/p>\n

It has been a busy year so far for Kanye \u2013 who released \u2018Only One\u2019<\/a>, the first single from his upcoming album, across January, with \u2018FourFiveSeconds\u2019<\/a>, the Rihanna single on which he features with Paul McCartney, appearing towards the end of the month \u2013 and an especially busy few weeks since his two performances at the Grammys and his momentary intervention as Beck received the award for Album of the Year<\/a>. His fashion show, which took place as part of New York Fashion Week AW15 and was screened in fifty venues throughout the world, was created in collaboration with the Italian performance artist Vanessa Beecroft<\/a>, who served as the art director for his short film Runaway<\/em><\/a> back in 2010. With North, Kim, and the Kardashian family, Jay-Z and Beyonc\u00e9, Russell Simmons, and Anna Wintour in the front row \u2013 and Kylie Jenner one of the fifty models \u2013 Kanye debuted another song, \u2018Wolves\u2019, featuring Sia and Vic Mensa.<\/p>\n

Last Sunday Kanye performed \u2018Wolves\u2019 alongside Sia and Mensa<\/a>, as part of the Saturday Night Live 40th Anniversary Special<\/em>. He was also a prominent part of the Wayne\u2019s World sketch<\/a>: one of the highlights\u00a0of a show which, even on this occasion, was only intermittently engaging, and then in the second half upon a predominance of celebrities including Jerry Seinfeld, John Goodman, and Larry David<\/a>. Saturday Night Live<\/em> as an institution has to be credited with giving a vital opportunity to so many young comedic talents, including black comedians and a generation of leading women. Yet the show is equally remarkable for containing so much talent and frustrating or else interminably irritating more often that it provokes laughs. Louis C.K. made an appearance to astutely and only half-jokingly suggest that the live format does not work.<\/p>\n

During an interview with James Harris and\u00a0Complex<\/em> last week, \u2018\u201dAre the Sharks Gonna Eat Me Alive?\u201d A Conversation With Kanye West\u2019<\/a>,\u00a0in the lobby of the Mercer Hotel in SoHo, Kanye espied a man wearing the New Balance MRL696 sneakers, otherwise known as the \u2018Deconstructed 696\u2019 or \u2018Re-Engineered 696\u2019. In Harris\u2019s interview, Kanye comments:<\/p>\n

\u201cThose are the shoes that, when they came out, I was like, \u2018Fuck! We already designed these.\u2019 They have the exact same perforation, color palette; it\u2019s the same situation.\u201d When the New Balance owner suggests the Yeezy Boosts that Kanye is wearing are actually better, he replies, \u201cIn some ways.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

So let\u2019s compare the New Balance MRL696<\/a> with the new Yeezy 750 Boost.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a fan of New Balance, but there\u2019s not much I like about the Deconstructed\u00a0696 above the Yeezy 750 Boost. For a start, I much prefer the\u00a0light grey\u00a0of Kanye\u2019s suede to the greenish hue of New Balance\u2019s offering (the MRL696 comes in what is for me an equally distasteful sand, and an only-slightly-better burgundy-brown). I like rawhide laces \u2013 black rawhide leather laces were one of the facets which drew me towards a particular pair of Dr Martens boots a couple of months ago \u2013 but I\u2019m not convinced they work on a sneaker, nor do I love the brown leather tongue, although maybe it\u2019s the sort of thing that would appeal in person.<\/p>\n

By contrast, while dubious in theory, I think the black and white criss-cross laces of the Yeezy Boost work. There may seem an overburdening of fastening devices, with laces, a strap across the front of the foot, and a side zip with a velcro covering \u2013 but aesthetically it flows, and the boot still looks sleek. The Deconstructed\u00a0696 looks more cluttered with an excess of perforations.<\/p>\n

More generally, I am of the fairly firm belief that New Balance sneakers \u2013 with their rounded fronts \u2013 only work either with shorts, with high-water\/rolled-up trousers, or occasionally with skinny pants or jeans. I think they\u2019re too round and bulky for a standard cut of pant. That isn\u2019t a criticism: it\u2019s just a limitation on their use. I admire Kanye\u2019s current style, with its focus on slim, tapered, dishevelled trousers; boots; and coats, sweaters, and shirts which drape. But Kanye himself demonstrates the above regarding New Balance: for a spell during 2009, he frequently wore the collaborative United Arrows x New Balance 997.5:<\/p>\n

This is not a great look. High tops \u2013 whether discreet, or colourful and breaking more decisively with the line of the pant \u2013 are more versatile. The jeans are a better fit, but the following picture \u2013 with Kanye wearing one of his preferred sneakers, the Nike Air Jordan 1 in black and red \u2013 shows something of this truth:<\/p>\n

So a warm welcome for the Yeezy 750 Boost. It will be available worldwide from next Saturday, although only in select adidas Originals stores in London, Berlin, Seoul, and Shanghai. The Yeezy Boosts will get a wider European release on 26 March, restocked in the London and Berlin stores, available via some Foot Lockers, and online via adidas.com. The New York fashion show suggested variations upon the Yeezy Boost are on the way, plus other sneakers and shoes from low tops to duck boots<\/a>; while black Yeezy Boosts are apparently imminent<\/a>. Meanwhile Kanye\u2019s new album is reportedly 80% done<\/a>.<\/p>\n
