If you’re reading this, then there’s a high-chance that you might already know exactly what the word “Yeezy” means. Yes, we’re talking about Kanye West’s popular footwear line that was born out of a collaboration with adidas. While the Yeezus star did originally work with Nike on several sneakers that took the “Yeezy” name, in this day and age most references to the name will refer to the rapper’s work with adidas. There’s been plenty of different sneaker silhouettes and colourways since the duo started working together back in 2015, and the label still remains hugely popular today, even though the project is inactive at the time of writing.
Here at Crepslocker we’ve always been keen on Yeezy footwear, however many of our customers are always asking the same questions, so we’ve decided to settle the score once and for all and publish the ultimate guide to Yeezy footwear. So if you’ve ever wondered how Yeezys fit or the best way to clean them, read on for all the advice you’ll ever need!
Who Owns Yeezy?
Now, many of our customers have asked us this question. While it should be straightforward, it’s actually a little more difficult than it may seem. Yeezy was created by both Kanye West and adidas, meaning that there’s more than one party involved in the ownership of the brand. It’s difficult to answer exactly without access to internal documentation regarding the ownership of the name, however for now it’s safe to assume that both Kanye and the 3-Stripes own a fair share of the brand name.
If anything, Kanye West may well own more rights to the “Yeezy” brand name than adidas, but the two parties will most definitely share profits regarding footwear sales. Either way, it doesn’t really matter too much!
How to Lace Yeezys?
Like most other sneakers, footwear fans are obsessed with lacing them in the most aesthetically-pleasing way possible. We don’t really blame them either, as why wouldn’t anyone take an easy step to make their sneakers look better? With some Yeezys, you won’t need to worry about lacing at all. Take the Yeezy Slides or the Foam Runners for example. However, with pairs such as the 350 and the 700, you can opt for the “loose lace” approach.
With this method, laces are loosely threaded through the holes and not tied up, creating a laid-back look that works especially well with Yeezys. This method has long-since been the go-to for many Yeezy fans and works well across multiple silhouettes from the brand.
How to Clean Yeezys?
All sneakers get dirty from time to time. While no sneakerhead enjoys this process, it’s only natural to happen along the way if you actually wear your sneakers. Now, there’s not a one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to cleaning sneakers. For example, leather sneakers require a totally different process to those crafted from knitted fabrics. Our best advice on this topic would be to only use professional sneaker cleaning products, as these will all be engineered to tackle dirt in the most effective way.

By using these specially-designed products, you shouldn’t have any issues with keeping your sneakers looking fresh once again.
How do Yeezys Fit?
For the most part, Yeezys fit on the small side. However, different silhouettes will fit differently and everyone has slightly different shaped feet. Where possible, we’d always advise trying on sneakers physically in a store. This isn’t always a viable option though, so in that case we’d advise heading on over to our size guide page, where you’ll find in-depth size guides regarding many products we sell here at Crepslocker, including most Yeezy silhouettes. For any further queries, don’t hesitate to contact us for more details.
