This is the shoe that started it all. With its futuristic vibe, Velcro strap, and Boost sole, the sneaker had a luxe finish. The current pricing on resale starts around $3,000 a pair, making them the most coveted of all West’s designs.

The first of the low-tops from Season 1, the shoe’s tweed-like texture and discreet red stitching made it a fashion and hypebeast favorite.

The anticipation for the release of the duck boots started to build the moment they appeared on the runway last spring. When West released all colorways six months later—including an all-white version for girls—it was just in time for the first signs of winter in New York.

A hybrid between gray and tan, this shoe was a minimalist hit, sought after for its neutral palette.

West was seen sporting various samples of these high-tops, including one featuring a gum sole. When the final design hit the shelves, it sold out—naturally. West ended up dispensing with the velcro on his prototype, which proved to be a wise decision: The shoe is the second-most expensive Yeezy on the resale market.

The release of the sandy canvas version of West’s low-top came just in time for the new year. With its sleek look, the shoe was then made in several custom styles that later appeared on social media.
