Yeezys are easier to get than ever, but that hasn't stopped the resell market from continuing to thrive. Despite the sneakers still being in high demand, there are chances to pick up pairs without putting a hole in your wallet. In some cases, certain styles can even be found for under retail. Who would've guessed it, right?
While you’ll be hard-pressed to find a steal on a pair of “Wave Runner” Yeezy Boost 700s or Foam Runners, there are still plenty of Kanye West designs out there that you can pick up for reasonable prices right now.
For all the discerning Yeezy shoppers out there, we've rounded up the most inexpensive pairs on the aftermarket right now. From the numerous Powerphase releases to select Yeezy QNTMs, Yeezy Boost 380s, and more, there's plenty to choose from here.
Take a look at the The 10 Most Affordable Yeezys Right Now below.
Adidas Yeezy 500 High 'Slate'
Original Price: $220
Average Resell Price: $215
Coming in just under its retail price of $220 (depending on your size), the Yeezy 500 High Slate can still be considered a bargain despite being the most expensive pair here.
Adidas Yeezy 500 High 'Tyrian'
Original Price: $220
Average Resell Price: $214
The Tyrian colorway was the second style of the Yeezy 500 High to hit stores, arriving in May 2020. The neoprene, suede, and leather sneaker mixes brown and blue for a look that would be right at home in the current fall climate.
Adidas Yeezy QNTM 'Barium'
Original Price: $250
Average Resell Price: $206
Released in the Summer of 2020, the Barium Yeezy Quantum is a stealthy grey colorway that is one of the more affordable options for Kanye’s non-performance basketball sneaker. This pair in particular has had a sharp decline in resale value, dropping from around $350 after release to today’s price of just over $200. Now could be the best time to scoop these up if you’ve been considering it.
Adidas Yeezy QNTM 'Frozen Blue'
Original Price: $250
Average Resell Price: $206
One of three blue Yeezy QNTM options available under retail, this is the most expensive of the three, but it’s also the loudest shade. If you want to stand out, you’re going to have to spend a little more, but you’ll still be able to get them at a reasonable price.
Adidas Yeezy Boost 380 'Pepper'
Original Price: $230
Average Resell Value: $203
This Pepper colorway is one of two Yeezy Boost 380s that can be picked up for under retail. It may not be the flashiest pair out there, but it’s a good choice for those who want a low key pair that’s still distinctly Yeezy.
Adidas Yeezy Boost 380 'Azure'
Original Price: $230
Average Resell Price: $200
The Yeezy Boost 380 edges out other knit Yeezys in terms of affordability. This Azure colorway with a brown base and blue accent can be copped for just under its retail price of $230.
Adidas Yeezy QNTM 'Teal Blue'
Original Price: $250
Average Resell Price: $194
One of two blue Yeezy QNTMs available around under $200, this Teal Blue version version released in October 2020 and was originally known as “Ophanim” before a name change.
Adidas Yeezy QNTM 'Sea Teal'
Original Price: $250
Average Resell Price: $194
Whether you choose this Sea Teal Yeezy QNTM iteration or the previous Teal Blue, you’ll be paying around the same price for either. It really comes down to preference, but the good news is that even after fees and taxes are factored in, you should still be able to come out just below retail.
Adidas Yeezy QNTM 'Flash Orange''
Original Price: $250
Average Resell Price: $185
Once one of Kanye’s most aniticpated designs, the Yeezy QNTM has fallen from the limelight a bit after multiple releases. That’s not to say it’s not worthy of picking up though, especially at less than its original retail price. Released during May of this year, this Flash Orange colorway is one of the least expensive Yeezys on the secondary market right now.
Adidas Yeezy Powerphase Calabasas
Original Price: $120
Average Resell Price: $83-$141
Aside from the very first Core White colorway, the Calabasas-branded Yeezy Powerphase remains Kanye’s cheapest sneaker on the resale market. With some patience, the Core Black style can be picked up for nearly half of its retail price, and the Clear Brown, Simple Brown, Grey, and Quiet Grey variations also go for sub-$150 regularly. They may not be the flashiest Yeezys out there, but they’re ideal for someone looking for an understated pair that won’t break the bank. Depending on the color, each shoe uses either all-leather or all-suede uppers and feature green and red Adidas trefoil branding alongside gold Calabasas lettering.
