Kanye West is giving fans something to look forward to in the new year.
According to sneaker leaker Instagram account @hanzuying, the rapper turned designer is dropping a new colorway of his Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 called “Tailgate” in February 2020. The shoe will reportedly sell for $220.
Images of the Yeezy Boost 350 V2 “Tailgate” show a gray-white hue across the Primeknit upper, with a translucent midsole and a gum outsole.
Although purported photos of the shoe leaked on Instagram this weekend, neither West nor Adidas have offered official information regarding the release.
