Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Sesame

Designed by Kanye West and released on 23 November 2018 as part of the Yeezy Boost 350 line. This release has a primeknit upper in Sesame/Sesame/Sesame. Sesame is the Boost 350 V2 doing what the label was actually best at: naming a colour after something you could eat or hold and then making the shoe look exactly like it. It belongs to the same family of thinking as Oxford Tan, Butter and Flax, a warm off white with a faint grey cast, closer to raw seed than to cream. Where Beluga used a contrast band to make the silhouette legible, Sesame removes every contrast and asks the shape to carry itself. The model launched on 24 September 2016 and became the most recognisable sneaker outline of the decade, so by the time this colourway arrived the shape needed no help. It is the connoisseur's version of the shoe, the one that assumes you already know.
