We love hearing about the return of sneakers that everyone has loved since day 1. And 2021 certainly proved that it’s an exciting year in terms of sneaker returns. It also happens to be the 5th anniversary of the OG Yeezy 350 V2 Beluga. So how would Kanye West, who became officially just Ye, celebrate? Naturally, by dropping an iconic pair, with a nice twist! The new Yeezy Beluga Reflective is everything you need in your collection, or on your holiday shopping list. And here’s everything you need to know about it.
So when we talk general Yeezy history, you know the Belugas are gonna come up. Twice, that is! And although Yeezy 750, 950, and the 350 V1 came before, the Yeezy 350 V2 made the biggest bang among all Yeezys. The v2 silhouette is maybe the only updated version that compares to its OG. Not throwing shade at the 700s, but c’mon! The first pair of belugas we got featured a grey Primeknit upper with a popping solar red side stripe, donning the infamous SPLY-350 branding.
The original Belugas dropped in September 2016 and retailed for $220. Although it was $20 pricier than the OG 350s, nobody complained much. The resale value on these babies reached a whopping $1,000+ back then. Today, you can get a pair for around $900! So if you own a pair and wanna get into sneaker reselling, that’s where you should start.
A year later, the fans were still talking about the OG Belugas. So what does Ye do? He drops the second edition! The colorway stays, but the side stripe turned grey, with the SPLY-350 text in orange. Moreover, we got the heel tab, which will later come and go on different colorways. If you’re into subtle colorways, this is for you, but you better have $660 to spare!
We are celebrating the 5th anniversary of the colorway, the right way. The new Yeezy Beluga Reflective is everything we love about these kicks with the additional sparkle. Yeezy Mafia, as usual, had the honor of bringing this news to us in an Instagram post. According to them, the kicks will drop in full family sizes! As for the release date, we can expect the kicks to drop on December 18, 2021. So, as hard as this sounds, make sure you put some money for Yeezy Beluga Reflective on the side.
Yeezys sell out, no matter the silhouette. So imagine what will happen when something as popular as the Belugas drops. It will probably be as packed as the day the Zebras restocked! The point is, you won’t stand a chance if you’re not ready for the drop. That’s why you’ll need the best sneaker bot on a drop like this.
