2023's much-hyped adidas YEEZY sneaker sales have begun, garnering big bucks for both adidas and Kanye "Ye" West, YEEZY's distant, disgraced founder. That first, instantly sold-out adidas YEEZY sale was only the beginning: more official adidas YEEZY drops are coming soon.
This isn't actually new information. adidas has already confirmed that it was weighing plans to sell off its leftover YEEZY sneaker stock with staggered release dates through 2023 when it confirmed the May 31, 2023 adidas YEEZY drop.
Of course, adidas didn't specify any dates or concrete plans beyond the initial adidas YEEZY drop on May 31, 2023, but sneaker leakers are never content to simply wait for official release dates or droplists: they wanna know everything now.
Some enterprising sneakerheads have already compiled lists of the sneakers presumed to be releasing in the next adidas YEEZY shoe sale, which include a host of muted YEEZY BOOST 350 and 700 sneakers — including a sought-after "Utility Black" colorway — and some far more vivid marble dye-patterned YEEZY SLIDE sandals.
adidas has not confirmed that these YEEZY shoes are actually releasing, obviously, nor is there an official release date for the next adidas YEEZY sale.
Still, the mockup that's been making the rounds across social media does at least look similar to the one that adidas published prior to the early summer YEEZY sale so it's fairly convincing from a visuals standpoint.

Plus, there have long been teasers of various YEEZY sneakers and SLIDE sandals floating around online.
Perhaps these sneaker leakers may have compiled images of all the thus-far unreleased ones or even pulled imagery from adidas' backend (don't put it past these people…) — even if the exact shoes set to release remain uncertain, it's hardly unbelievable given that the sneakerheads predicted the actual adidas YEEZY sale date, or got within 24 hours of it.
There's precedent for many of the rumored YEEZY colorways to actually see the light of day at future adidas YEEZY drops, too.
For instance, it makes sense that more marble YEEZY SLIDEs would be in the works given that several similar models were previously leaked online but never actually released.
It's all speculation for now but hardly unfounded. If nothing else, sneakerheads can take heart in knowing that future leftover adidas YEEZY drops are all but guaranteed by the success of the initial collection.
Unconfirmed figures circulating in the wake of May's adidas YEEZY sale suggest that adidas made over $170 million from the YEEZY sneaker release — adidas already promised to donate some of the proceeds to anti-hate charities like the Anti-Defamation League.
Meanwhile, Ye is no longer affiliated with adidas and adidas YEEZY is DOA though Ye is still in charge of his own YEEZY brand (we've argued that the adidas YEEZY sneakers have since eclipsed Ye).
But assuming that Ye's prior adidas YEEZY deal remains in place for these final few adidas YEEZY drops, he reportedly took home nearly $15m from the adidas sale, which he'll presumably utilize to continue buying shoulder pads, MMA shin guards, Sand Sock "shoes", and his wife's bizarre outfits while preparing for the launch of the YEEZY "store" in the near future — not coincidentally, Ye's new YEEZY HQ is located just a few doors down from adidas' Los Angeles flagship retail space.
