Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 "Ash Blue" | Slate Blue Primeknit

The North American & Latin American Exclusive

The Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 "Ash Blue" was released in early 2021 as a regional exclusive for North America, Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and India. It arrived alongside its "Ash Stone" sibling (released in Europe/Asia), offering a cooler, aquatic-inspired alternative to the traditional earthy Yeezy palette.

Key Features

• "Slate Blue" Primeknit: Features a re-engineered Primeknit upper constructed with an intricate weave of blue, grey, and black fibers, creating a textured "denim-like" appearance.

• Sun-Yellow Side Stripe: A standout feature is the post-dyed monofilament side stripe in a vibrant Yellow-Green (Soft Yellow), providing a sharp, high-contrast pop against the cool blue tones.

• Signature Boost Cushioning: Encased within the semi-translucent, slate-grey ribbed midsole is a full-length Boost unit, offering the trademark responsive cushioning Yeezys are known for.

• Infinity Lacing System: Equipped with a pre-tied bungee lacing system for a clean look and easy on-and-off functionality.

• No Pull Tab: Consistent with many 2021 releases, this model features a streamlined heel without the rear pull tab, highlighting the sleek silhouette of the knit.

Authenticity & Legit Check Tips

• Stripe Placement: On authentic pairs, the yellow monofilament stripe should stop just short of the toe stitching. Fakes often have stripes that extend too far or are unevenly cut.

• Knit Pattern Flow: The "Ash" series has a very specific "patchwork" knit flow. Replicas often struggle with the transition between the dark blue and light grey sections of the upper.

• Boost "Window": Looking at the bottom of the sole, the Boost material should have small, "bubbly" pellets with 3 or 4 small "nipples" (embossed dots). Replicas often have these dots perfectly centered or missing entirely.

• The Box Label: Since this was a US/North American release, the box label typically features three country sizes (US, UK, F) in large print, unlike the international "V10" labels which feature six.
