How To Clean Yeezy 700 Wave Runners

Introduction to the adidas Yeezy Boost 700

Adidas Yeezy Boost 700

The Yeezy 700 marked Kanye West's first venture into the chunky running shoe arena. It's one of Kanye's earliest designs with adidas, coming on the heels of the Yeezy 750 and Yeezy 350 models. The collection's initial colourway, Wave Runner, was designed by Kanye and Stephen Smith and debuted in 2017. Before signing with adidas, West developed two signature Air Yeezy running shoes with Nike.

Yeezy Boost 700: Premium Features and Design

The Yeezy Boost 700 incorporated innovative technology and daring design features:

Premium leather and suede overlays on the upper
The original Wave Runner featured mesh overlays with reflective hits
Three subtle straps hidden under the mesh overlay to signify the adidas brand
Chunky midsole encapsulating the adidas Boost technology
Signature toe cap that's also represented on Yeezy's first basketball sneaker, the Quantum

Although the Yeezy Boost 700 may look bulky, it runs true to size. Distribution of the shoe was predominantly sold through adidas retailers and the Yeezy Supply store. Certain running shoe boutiques also carried the running shoes. The original retail price was $AUD390^1*.

Yeezy Boost 700: Live from New York…

Like most adidas Yeezy styles, the Yeezy 700 Boost Wave Runner was first spotted on Kanye West and the Kardashian family through photos snapped by the paparazzi. It's also been rocked by a host of other celebrities and musicians, including YG, 2 Chainz and Justin Bieber.

The chunky midsole of the running shoe kicked off a running shoe culture trend, referred to as "dad shoes." The style, reminiscent of the shape of '90s running shoes, was similar in form to popular running shoes such as the Fila Disruptor, Balenciaga Triple S and the Nike M2K Tekno.

Initially, the style was not well received, with running shoe enthusiasts panning the look. Then, in November of 2017, Chance the Rapper hosted Saturday Night Live wearing the Yeezy Boost 700. Following the SNL appearance, buzz started to build around the unusual shoe and demand for it went through the roof.

The original colourway of the adidas Yeezy Boost 700 was Solid Grey/Chalk White/Core Black, commonly referred to as Wave Runner. It originally released in August 2017 and was then restocked at retailers in March 2018, fulfilling a promise by Kanye that Yeezys would be more available for everybody.

Other Yeezy Boost 700 colourways soon followed, including Salt, Inertia, Mauve, Utility Black, Carbon Blue, Magnet and Analog.

How to Care for Your Yeezy Boost 700s

To keep your Yeezys looking like new, follow these useful tips:

Cleaning your Yeezy. Remove the laces before cleaning the shoes. Mix a mild dish soap in cool water and scrub gently with a soft brush. You may also want to consider a professional running shoe cleaner.

To properly care for the suede on the toe cap, keep water or liquid from getting on it. It's recommended to use a water-repellent spray before wearing.

Storing your Yeezys. Choose a dry, cool place to store your 700s. Extreme temperatures will damage them, so avoid basements, attics and sheds. Never store them in direct sunlight to prevent fading. Also, invest in some clear plastic containers to preserve your collection (and be able to see them).
