This is the Yeezy 350v2 MX Rock.
This colorway released a few days ago on December 22, 2021 and was heavily overshadowed by the restock of the Belugas (though reflective). This black-based Yeezy features a mixture of organic-looking swirls of colors which freshens up this overplayed silhouette. I was not able to get my size unfortunately but can admire this shoe from afar thanks to Elliot Page’s YT review.
They release three shoes… all on the same morning, all with some level of demand.
There are two Air Jordans with a metallic gold color, one in the OG high silhouette and the second is a mid with lots more gold accents. Adidas and Kanye West, on the other had, are re-releasing the Yeezy 500 in Utility Black. Not sure how that’s “cyber” but regardless, a well received shoe.
Hmmm, should I be insulted since I did NOT win the Adidas raffle for the new Yeezy 380 “Blue Oats?”
I learned that the reflective version was very limited, but I didn’t consider that this non-reflective version would be difficult to get. And even though Adidas held a raffle, I thought winning one would be probable.
Should I be insulted not getting a pair?
After a disastrous and extremely limited Yeezy 700 MNVN “Bone” drop today on Yeezy Supply and Adidas, the countdown to Zyons is on.
Let’s hope there are more than 1200 pairs available of the Zyons
So that’s that social distancing looks like online.
The sale stops and is put on hold when there’s too many customers in the digital store it seems.
The 2019-2020 NBA All Star Week is now officially over and what a week of sneaker releases it was… if you were in Chicago. Since I wasn’t, I have to watch YouTube videos to live vicariously through Seth and Tom as they pick up their pairs and preview the new Yeezy Quantum shoes.
Here is Seth’s review.
What can I say but I was jealous of Chicago this past week. Sure, the weather was frigid, the snow was falling, and the crowds were crowding, but the wealth of sneakers, streetwear, and culture was over the top for Chitown. Take a look…
Adidas played a mean trick with this app reminder from awhile ago.
It’s now past 10:00PM HST on December 29, and these Yeezy 700 Waverunners are not available. 🙁
I like big boxes and I can not lie

Yeah, I was excited to see what was delivered in this huge box that measured two feet by three feet.
And yeah, I was disappointed to find this itty bitty pair of Yeezys inside.
A single pair… could’ve easily fit two boxes, maybe even three, but nope one Citrin Yeezy had a roomy ride during delivery.
Waking up in the dark at 1am on a Saturday morning, you can’t tell if it’s cloudy outside. But I can tell you that it definitely was cloudless inside. The footsites released the Yeezy 350 White Clouds at 7am EST therefore 1am HST, and I was shut out. Totally. Every site I went to, I got the message to hang tight and I would be let in when it was my turn. Obviously, my turn was never going to come around as the time passed with me still hanging tight.
Humbled by the footsite shutout, I dejectedly waited for more rejection from Yeezysupply. I hadn’t been able to buy from YS like ever (okay, there was that one checkout during Yeezy Day). But if I didn’t try then the shutout would be complete. So at 4am, I refreshed, saw the Cloud Yeezys, and started the checkout process.
Then there was that checkbox. What was that? It was definitely new, and it was my key to success. Because of this wrinkle of one additional check, bots were confused and couldn’t handle this anomaly. This opened the way for a very smooth checkout. It was glorious even.
After that the sky was full of clouds.
My Yeezy Reflective streak continues as I failed to get a reflective Citrin 350. And this was probably my best shot.
The regular, non-reflective Citrins dropped on Monday morning with mixed fanfare. Some like them, most don’t. But in usual Yeezy fashion, small and huge sizes sold out first. First there was the footsites of Footlocker, Eastbay, Champs, and Footaction (along with Finishline) at 1am HST. I couldn’t get past queue for most of the sites until much later. I did get into Champs right away and managed a checkout there, but like Footaction orders, I wasn’t sure if Champs would ship to Hawaii. Luckily they do.
Then hours later came Yeezy Supply and the Adidas app raffle. YS rolled out the same checkout process as the Clouds with that extra check at the beginning of checkout. Most bots factored this change in, but manual checkout was still smooth. Then the RF aka reflective changeup happened. About one hour after the non-reflective drop, YS puts up their infamous password page indicating that something is about to happen. Then surprisingly, Adidas starts up its waiting room for the Citrin RF.
I jumped in all queues, but YS was smart. Because queues were already triggered by the NRF Citrin drop, the RF checkouts would automatically face these queues. So you see where this is headed right? With all these stops in place, it was inevitable to see this.
I was realistic with my chances of getting the reflective version of the Yeezy 350 v2 Cloud White, and my expectations went as expected. I didn’t get anywhere wity YeezySupply stuck in queue for way too long. Surprisingly, Adidas made a return to releasing Yeezys (with reflectives no less) with their Waiting Room splash page. At least you feel like you have a shot with this random entry system. Unfortunatley, I was in the Waiting Room the entire time only to see this.
No reflective clouds for me.
