The Drop
The Yeezy 350 V2 CMPCT Slate Onyx (IG9606) brought adidas' experimental CMPCT silhouette into darker, understated territory with its charcoal-heavy Primeknit construction. Part of Kanye's post-2020 design evolution, the CMPCT line ditched the classic pull-tab for a slip-on collar, making this a divisive but technically interesting entry in the 350 family. The Slate Onyx colorway leaned into wearability over shock value—classic Yeezy energy in muted execution.
Resell Verdict
Currently moving around $163, this sits firmly in "wear-your-kicks" territory rather than investment-piece status. The $45–$536 ask range shows wild seller confusion, but 84 weekly orders suggest steady casual demand at the lower end. The CMPCT line never caught fire like OG 350s, so prices stay flat—decent grab for personal rotation, weak flip unless you're sourcing under $100. Hype ist tot here, honestly.
Fake Tells
- ▸Collar construction: Reps often botch the slip-on ribbing tension and inner heel lining texture
- ▸Boost density: Fake Boost feels overly squishy or has visible mold seams on the outsole edges
- ▸Size tag font: Spacing between "MALE/MALE" text and barcode alignment frequently off on fakes
Who It's For
Budget-conscious Yeezy fans who want the aesthetic without the resell tax, or resellers flipping quick at $20–$40 margins on volume plays. Best for low-key streetwear fits where you're not trying to flex but still want that unmistakable 350 silhouette.
Sizing & Fit
Go half-size up—CMPCT models run notoriously snug through the midfoot despite the stretchy collar, especially if you've got wider feet.
