Check out the timeline below to view Eastbay’s journey with the popular kick by Kanye West x adidas Originals.

YEEZY BOOST 350 V2 'Light'

Yeezy BOOST 350 V2 ‘Light’

The Yeezy BOOST 350 V2 ‘Light’ drops August 28. It features a tonal grey Primeknit upper with a contrasting orange pull tab on the heel. The lateral side stripe is made with UV-activated yarns that changes color when exposed to sunlight, changing the stripe from grey to orange. Full-length BOOST cushioning and the classic Yeezy outsole complete the look.

Yeezy Boost 350 V2 ‘Mono Ice’

The Yeezy Boost 350 V2 ‘Mono Ice’ is part of the ‘Mono’ pack slated to drop on June 18. The pack consists of three semi-translucent colorways that will each be dropping in different parts of the world. While the ‘Mono Ice’ can be found in North America, the ‘Mono Clay’ can be found in Asia Pacific and China, and the ‘Mono Mist’ will drop in Europe, Africa, India, The Middle East, Russia, Ukraine, and China too.

The upper is made with monofilament mesh which makes it see-through and shows off the inner cage. The shoe is mostly a light blue color, save for the branding strip that is just a shade darker. The matching colors give the shoe a very chromatic feel for a clean look on your feet.

Yeezy BOOST 350 V2 ‘Ash Pearl’

The Yeezy BOOST 350 V2 “Ash Pearl” will be launching on March 20, 2021. The shoe features a return to the earth-tone hues that have become fairly standard in the Yeezy line. Three different colors are layered across the upper with a sandy cream on the top, tan in the middle, and dark blue on the bottom. The two-toned gum outsole, a staple, brings the shoe together for a crisp, clean look.

Yeezy BOOST 350 V2 ‘Ash Blue’

The first Yeezy of 2021 has arrived. The Yeezy BOOST 350 V2 ‘ASH BLUE’ will be launching on 2/27. In a departure from the recent launches that have featured more earth tones, this shoe indulges in more shades of blue and gray. A yellow, non-transparent lateral side stripe breaks up the flow of the shoe, and the ribbed midsole sets it apart from other Yeezys.

Yeezy BOOST 350 V2 ‘Sand Taupe’

The final Yeezy of 2020 will be launching on 12/19. The Yeezy BOOST 350 V2 ‘Sand Taupe’ brings back some familiar earthy tones from previous models. The shoe features brown hues with rustic orange weaves running through the lateral vamp. The outsole is a light and dark gum color and there will also be a new lacing system featured.

Yeezy Boost 350 V2 ‘Core Black/Red’

The YEEZY BOOST 350 V2 ‘CORE BLACK/RED’ is being re-released on 12/5 just in time for the holidays. The shoe is constructed with an all-black Primeknit upper with a matching TPU midsole that covers Boost cushioning. Red stitching on the pull tab matches the red “SPLY-350” lettering on the side panel.

Yeezy Boost 350 V2 ‘Natural’

Continue to grow your sneaker collection by adding the Yeezy Boost 350 V2 ‘Natural’ to your closet. The upper is split into two variations of the titular color, with the top half being a darker shade and the bottom half a lighter shade. The heel pull from several of the past silhouettes has been removed, giving the shoe a cleaner look. This pair will be available on 10/24.

Yeezy BOOST 350 V2 ‘Carbon’

Put together a new look this fall with the adidas Yeezy BOOST 350 V2 ‘Carbon’. Sitting atop a translucent outsole is a Primeknit upper with black and gray tones. A solid black stripe runs along the lateral side with matching colored laces.

*The adidas Originals Yeezy Boost 350 V2 ‘ZYON’ drops at 7 a.m. on 7/18/2020. Visit eastbay.com to buy a pair.*

Slip on something different with the multi-colored ‘Zyon’ featuring two dual-colored sections of the upper separated by the lateral black stripe. Above the stripe is a grey and off-white pattern while below is dark brown and off-white.

Release Report: Nike ZoomX Vaporfly NEXT%

by Noelani Debski | May 24, 2019 | Releases, Running

The newest addition to the Vaporfly family is better than ever and set to debut in July at eastbay.com. Though some of the features from the 4% were kept in this model, there are plenty of new elements to mention.

How Much is “NEXT%”?

NEXT% is somewhere above 4 percent but below 5 percent, and that percent represents the increased efficiency you’ll experience running in these shoes.

Made for Marathoners

Nothing is stopping the average Joe from buying this shoe, but it was designed for marathon runners with hopes that they’ll strive to conquer the “impossible” – running 26.2 miles in under 2 hours.

Influenced by Professionals

Nike knows that to create the best you must use the best. So, with the expertise of professional athletes, scientists, and engineers Nike created a shoe to help you shave time off your marathon pace.

From the Updated Upper

The Vaporfly NEXT% introduces a new material for the upper called Vaporweave. Vaporweave was created with the intent to absorb less liquid than the Flyknit material used in the Vaporfly 4%. So your feet stay dry and comfortable during long runs. Because it’s not enough for your shoes to just be comfortable when you put them on before the race. An hour into your run you still want to feel as comfortable as possible. So in addition to the newly introduced Vaporweave, the new version of the Vaporfly features off-center laces to reduce pressure along the top of your foot. The tongue is also shaped to lay smoothly against your foot for reduced friction.

Down to the Detailed Sole

By using the traction patterns of pro runners, Nike was able to create a unique sole pattern that increases forefoot grip and is better for running on wet surfaces.

But wait! There’s more…

As in 15 percent more ZoomX foam in the midsole compared to the last model, so that you can get ultimate energy-return while running. And what’s even better is that with this extra foam, the shoe weight remains the same as the Vaporfly 4%. By decreasing the heel-drop by 3mm (from 11mm to 8mm) and adding the super lightweight Vaporweave material, Nike managed to offset the weight.

Nike International Soccer: Rock the Right Kit This Summer

by Max Kelley | May 16, 2019 | Best Of, Featured Outfits, Releases, Soccer, Uncategorized

It’s about that time again — the greatest tournament in soccer is just around the corner. The feeling is palpable, the intensity is unmatched; fans’ emotions hang on every pass, every shot, and every save. But before the madness starts and chaos ensues, you need the correct kit to display your pride.

This year, Nike designed all their kits with detailed input from professional players, followed by 3D scanning and motion capture in the Nike Sports Research Lab to properly define their women’s-specific fit. On many kits, they also added slogans on the inside of the neckline to give inspiration to the wearer.

Let’s take a closer look at each country’s newest Nike jersey and what makes the designs special to the athletes who sport them.

United States Home Kit

Inner Pride – “Climb Again”

The USA home kits have a deep, personal meaning to many of the players on this year’s national team. The Nike Swoosh and red-and-navy stripes on the arm cuff pay homage to the 1999 team, whose iconic tournament win inspired many current athletes to get into soccer in the first place. The jerseys feature three stars above the crest to signify the United States’ three tournament trophies while the 50 states print on the back represents the nation’s collective support for the team.

United States Away Kit

Inner Pride – “Hold Fast. Stay True.”

While the home kits pay tribute to the past, the away design is a nod to the future. The inspiration behind these kits is that being American is about standing out and boldly displaying your pride. The stars-and-stripes pattern spread across the all-red jersey is symbolic of the American flag. Although these kits focus on what’s next, Nike still wanted to pay tribute to the USA’s past accomplishments, so they placed three white stars representing the three championships on the royal stripe at the back of the neck.

Brazil Home Kit

Inner Pride – “Mulheres Guerreiras Do Brasil” meaning “Women Warriors of Brazil”

Pelé, Ronaldinho, Marta. When you think of these famous Brazilian footballers, you think of the iconic yellow they sported while creating some of the most memorable moments in international soccer history. Nike didn’t stray far from Brazil’s traditional look with these kits, embracing the colors the Brazilian national team has worn since 1954.

Brazil Away Kit

Inner Pride – “Mulheres Guerreiras Do Brasil” meaning “Women Warriors of Brazil”

Brazil’s royal away kits start with a bold geometric pattern at the neck that slowly fades towards the bottom of the jersey. The pattern is inspired by bright stars and the royal color represents the sky on a cool, clear night in Rio. Brazil also pays tribute to their men’s team tournament wins with five stars above the crest.

England Home Kit

Inner Pride – “The Lionesses”

Clean and Classic. That’s the best way to describe England’s home kits. The traditional white is sacred to England and Nike wanted these jerseys to display the country’s loyalty and heritage. If you look closely, you’ll find a very subtle, tonal floral print that represents the roses specific to the neighborhoods around London. These jerseys also display red-and-maroon striping on the sleeve cuffs to punctuate the crispness of the white base.

England Away Kit

Inner Pride – “The Lionesses”

Where England’s home kits embrace a minimalistic design, the away jerseys boast an aggressive maroon floral print, hand drawn to include poppy, primrose, and rose – the native flora of the country. Nike separated the pattern into four quadrants, a nod to St. George’s Cross. These kits use an off-white color for the logo that keeps the overall theme bold, but still evokes the history of a proud nation.

France Home Kit

Inner Pride – “Nos Différences Nous Unissent” meaning “Our Differences Unite Us”

For this year’s host country, Nike decided to honor tradition by staying true to France’s “Les Bleus” national team nickname. The solid navy base is accented with rose gold lettering, providing the proper pop for the iconic French Football Federation crest. The jerseys also include a subtle hint of red, white, and blue taping at the sleeve to represent the French flag. According to Nike, these kits personify the sophistication of the French and are a nod to the high-end, exclusive clothing produced by the country.

France Away Kit

Inner Pride – “Nos Différences Nous Unissent” meaning “Our Differences Unite Us”

To contrast the solid blue home jerseys, Nike’s white away kits feature a pattern of small hexagons, spread across the shirt like polka dots, that pay tribute the France’s unique border shape. The inner pride phrase, “Nos Différences Nous Unissent,” is printed with a small “o” to represent Chanel and France’s rich history of fashion.

Australia Home Kit

Inner Pride – “Never Say Die”

Described by some as the most exuberant kit in the bunch, Australia’s home jerseys use white, yellow, and green brush strokes to represent their creative, youthful team. Incorporating design elements from Melbourne’s famous Hosier Lane, Nike created a ’90s-style look that combines the colors of the Australian countryside with the graffiti art culture seen in the country’s urban areas.

Netherlands Home Kit

Inner Pride – Crown symbol to represent the country’s monarchy.

For the newly designed Dutch kits, Nike created a digital tulip, a geometric design that represents the country’s iconic flower. These kits also mark the first time the Netherlands will forgo the traditional lion crest for a lioness, representing the pride and ferocity of the women’s team.

Norway Home Kit

Inner Pride – Snowflake and Flower symbols

This year, Norway’s home kits combine the team’s trademark red and blue into a “winter sweater” print inspired by the country’s decorated ski jumpers. The design combines snowflakes and flowers to honor the beauty and variety of Norway’s weather.

China Away Kit

Inner Pride – Phoenix logo

To remind the Chinese team of the powerhouse spirt of the 1990s, these light grey kits feature an intricate phoenix pattern. The design was created to represent femininity and virtue, paying tribute to the “Steel Roses” nickname given to the team.

Paint The Pitch: Introducing the Nike Euphoria Pack

by Max Kelley | Apr 18, 2019 | Releases, Soccer

Calling all footy fans! Nike just released their new “Euphoria Pack” soccer cleats and they’re literally dripping with style. Each Nike cleat model is designed to look the way you play, using unique, paint-splatter colorways that really stand out on the pitch. Let’s take a look at the four new boots and break down the features that correspond with the designs.

Mercurial Superfly 6 Pro

Looking for the fastest cleat in the game? Look no further than the Mercurial Superfly. This boot even looks like the designers tried to paint it while the world’s fastest players were running full speed past them. The dripping orange design on the inside of the mesh upper mimics the quickness you’ll notice in this cleat, while the Dynamic-Fit collar gives this shoe a sock-like feel. The Mercurial Superfly is the standard for striking performance, worn by the top players in the game today.

Phantom Vision Pro

Now this might be the cleanest cleat in the pack. The Phantom Vision blue paint pattern uses a minimalistic combination of spray and spatter, because when you’re in this cleat, it’s all about blocking out the distractions and making the precise play. This boot features Nike’s innovative ghost lacing system, meaning the cushioned sockliner and laces are hidden beneath a mesh outer layer, providing a clean strike every time. The Phantom Vision, like the Mercurial Superfly, also features a mid-cut collar that reinforces your ankle and offers the ultimate comfort and support.

Phantom Venom Pro

The Phantom Venom is the epitome of a complete cleat. The flyknit upper material partially covers the laces for a precise and powerful strike. This boot never fails to place the ball in perfect position, giving you pinpoint accuracy when finding the back of the net. The blades on this shoe’s instep create maximum spin, offering complete control over the bend of your strikes. The Phantom Venom design is as simple and clean as the Phantom Vision, but if you prefer a low-cut cleat, then the Venom is the choice for you.

Tiempo Legend 7 Elite

Need some stability in your life? Highlighted by a stylish, misty-orange paint pattern, the heel on the Tiempo Legend cleat features stability pods inside the collar that cup your ankle for comfortable support. This boot also utilizes NikeGrip technology and flywire cables integrated in the laces to lock down your foot and help prevent sliding while the kangaroo leather upper is perfect for providing a soft touch when needed. For any position, in any conditions, the Tiempo Legend is as versatile as they come.

Air Jordan Retro 1 Cleat: The Iconic Sneaker Takes The Field

by Max Kelley | Apr 12, 2019 | Football, Releases

In 1984, a 21-year-old rookie by the name of Michael Jordan first stepped foot on a professional basketball court. Little did the public know, he would change the game of basketball and modern sneaker culture forever.

After failing to secure a couple of key endorsement deals, His Airness finally got the call from Nike offering him a $2.5 million-dollar check and his own signature shoe. It was then that the iconic Air Jordan 1 was born.

The original Air Jordan was an updated version of designer Peter Moore’s Nike Air Ship model but included the addition of the now-retro Wings logo. Wearing the first shoe with multiple colors in league history, the newly-minted and unproven MJ already stood out on the court with less than a full season under his belt.

The stylish and colorful shoe immediately caught the attention of the league, and they issued a ban of the Air Jordan 1 for not meeting the stringent policy on uniforms and colors. Realizing they were in a unique position to market this historic sneaker, Nike cleverly rolled out a “banned” advertising campaign and floated the cash to pay the $5000 per game fine so that Jordan could continue to rock the shoe.

From there, the rest is history. The “banned” marketing campaign jumpstarted a new era of performance sneakers worn as must-have fashion statements. The Air Jordan 1 became a staple in streetwear culture, worn by popular musicians, movie stars, and skaters.

And now, 35 years later, the Jordan Brand is introducing another audience to the Air Jordan 1’s versatile portfolio. The Air Jordan 1 Football Cleats are now available for purchase at eastbay.com. Check out our slideshow of colorways available below and make sure to grab a pair today!
