Third times a charm, the Zebra colourway of the Yeezy 350V2 returns again!

First things first. Forget what happened with the Yeezy 700 last weekend, it won’t happen again. You should also pretend the 350v2 Cream restock earlier this year never happened either. Both will skew your perceptions about how to handle this release.

This Zebra restock is an interesting one. A lot of people have these already and resell/hype has slowed down a bit. adidas is aware of this and has managed the distribution properly. The past couple of Yeezy releases have seen nearly a thousand pairs sent to top tier boutiques like Livestock or Haven. This time around they are getting only a couple hundred total. This is being done because adidas is distributing pairs to many more stores and this release includes Foot Locker stores and smaller shops like DIPT in Vancouver.

This distribution of stock will make in-store raffle and FCFS purchases easier and limit the amount available online.

We highly recommend entering all raffles you can as purchasing online will be reasonable but definitely not easy.

adidas.ca has classified this release for their website as “medium stock” which would put our estimates at around 2,000 pairs online.

adidas.ca will release the Yeezy 350v2 online at www.adidas.ca/yeezy at 8:30AM EST. The release will happen via the standard wait room queue like all previous Yeezy release. As stated above we expect adidas.ca to have stock around 2,000 pairs.

Foot Locker and Champs will both release the shoes at their locations across Canada via raffle sweepstakes. This will likely occur in-stores on Monday, Nov. 5 and Tuesday, Nov. 6. Champs is likely to be a one day raffle only on Monday. Call your local Champs to confirm they will have them available via raffle and during what hours.

You can use the FootLocker.ca Launch Locator (link below) to track down the nearest store selling the Yeezys near you.

The Yeezy Supply release does not have a set time yet but expect it to happen eas early as Midnight PST. Be ready with autofill for shipping and your credit card.

Shipping to the US is $20, to Canada it’s $35 and you will have to pay duties at delivery. You can expect duties to be at around $80 if you ship to Canada. That means at best you would pay $380 CAD shipped.

We recommend shipping to the US if you can.

This release will be available at adidas Consortium stores such as Livestock, Haven, Off The Hook, NRML and SSENSE. Our early expectations are that Livestock and Haven will do a raffle and online release. NRML and OTH likely do FCFS and OTH will also release them via Frenzy App at 8:30AM EST. SSENSE will likely release at 10AMEST.

If you are a Tier Zero member please utilize the monitors for instant access to launch links and add to cart links for your size. For all other members please keep it glued to #announcements and our premium Twitter for links to purchase.

Shipping Costs Online
Livestock – $15

Aside from SSENSE, every other Canadian site releasing the Yeezys online is Shopify based. It is CRUCIAL that you perform a pre-cart on every one of those Shopify websites (Livestock, Haven, NRML). Doing so will greatly increase your chances of checking out quicker and succeeding.

If you are new to the pre-cart please practice before release and be careful to not accidentally purchase a product.

If you are a Tier Zero member, do the pre-cart before hand and then at release you can click one of the add to cart links in the monitor for an even quicker check out!

Assuming that the boutiques release online at the same time as adidas, I would focus your attention on the boutiques (Livestock, Haven, etc) first and then go to adidas.ca if they sell out. The adidas queue will not start right away so you have time to try at a boutique first. Do not let the cost of shipping deter you from an early confirmed pair.

Some smaller boutiques may do FCFS but it is not yet confirmed.

adidas stores in Canada will sell the shoes FCFS after 1PM local time. The stock will be based on pairs that are not picked up by customers who reserved them previously on the app.

Below you will find links to other raffles happening worldwide that will either release online or offer shipped based raffles to the US and Canada.

Tips for the Below Releases

  • SVD and END require an account to enter raffles
  • END is easily the best option worldwide raffle option as we expect the shipped price to Canada with duties to be $360 CAD (this CAD retail with shipping)
  • Please be aware the prices for worldwide raffles if you are shipping to Canada.
  • We recommend shipping to the US for as many of these raffles as possible.
