Yeezy Boost 350 Release Date, News & Update: Pirate Black Restock Ruckus Spread Online; Extra Heel Padding To Blame?

Sneaker heads the world over were sent into a frenzy when Adidas originals announced that the Yeezy Boost 350 Pirate Black will be restocked.  The one day event was proven to be very successful as the popular footwear is now officially out of stock in the U.S.

While it does make a good profit for the shoe brand and Kanye West, a lot of waiting patrons were disappointed with its limited release.  Eager fans lined up just to get their pair only to go home empty handed.

A lot of reports also surfaced that online reservations and purchasing were also disappointing.  Interested buyers had to wait long only to be confronted with an error message.  Overall, it was more of a disaster for buyers.

Now, new reports are claiming that the lucky ones who got to cop their own pair are starting to notice something odd about their much coveted purchase. "The '2.0' pair wasn't exactly the same as the original release either, as plenty of people noted additional heel padding for more support for this Yeezy pair," Sneaker News noted.

"When released on February 19th, people started reporting that while the box and style code were completely different, some lucky (or unlucky, depending on perspective) customers got the original Pirate Blacks," the article added.

As of writing, there has been no official confirmation about what the next colorway release will be. Kanye however has kept waiting fans afloat when he posted on Twitter a photo of the new all white colorway. Is it the Yeezy Boost 350 Beluga colorway shoe aficionados are speculating online?

"This one is particularly notable because it has never been seen before. Not to be confused with the 'Beluga' all white Yeezy Boost 350 that ended up being a custom pair, this one is all new," Hot New Hip Hop reported. "The general shape and cut of the shoe is the same, but aside from the new color, it also uses a new Primeknit pattern on the upper."
