Yeezy 700
The Yeezy 700 is a chunky sneaker from the Yeezy line with a layered upper and a thick sole. The model tapped into the rise of the ‘dad shoe’ and comes in three main versions: the Boost 700, the 700 V2 and the 700 V3. It is widely worn by women and men looking for a sturdy, sporty sneaker.
The history of the Yeezy 700
The first Yeezy Boost 700, the ‘Wave Runner’, was presented in 2017 and hit the market shortly after. With its mix of grey, black, teal and orange it stood out among the much calmer Yeezy models of the time. The design clearly borrowed from 1990s running shoes.
The 700 V2 followed in 2018, with reflective details and streamlined layers. A year later the 700 V3 appeared, with a completely different look. Like every model in this line, the 700 belongs to the partnership between adidas and Kanye West, which ended in 2022.
Design and versions
- Boost 700: an upper of mesh, suede and leather in many layers, with a full-length Boost midsole wrapped in a thick rubber rim.
- 700 V2: the same sole base, but with a cleaner upper and reflective accents that light up under camera flash.
- 700 V3: a streamlined upper with a cage around it, which glows in the dark on several colourways.
The thick sole and roomy shape make the 700 stand out without it feeling truly heavy. The versions are easy to tell apart, so when choosing, focus mainly on the type.
Popular Yeezy 700 colorways
The Yeezy Boost 700 ‘Wave Runner’ combines grey and black with teal and orange accents. The Yeezy Boost 700 V2 ‘Static’ is white and grey with reflective layers. Among the V3 models, the black Yeezy 700 V3 ‘Dark Glow’ and the light Yeezy 700 V3 ‘Azael’ are the best known, both with glow-in-the-dark details.
What is the difference between the Yeezy 700 and the Yeezy 350?
The Yeezy Boost 350 is low and slim, with a knitted upper that sits close around the foot. The 700 is bigger, sturdier and built from several materials, with more sole underfoot. If you want something in between in terms of shape, also look at the Yeezy 500.
How does the Yeezy 700 fit?
The Yeezy Boost 700 and 700 V2 generally fit true to size, so you can order your normal size. Because of the cage, the V3 sits a little tighter around the foot, which is why many wearers go half a size up on that one. If you have wide feet, an extra half size is worth considering on every version.
