The Drop
The Yeezy Boost 700 Salt dropped as part of Kanye's chunky-dad-shoe revolution, dialing back the hype with a clean, monochrome palette. This colorway strips away the wild color-blocking of earlier 700s—pure tonal beige mesh, suede, and leather with subtle grey hits. It's the sleeper in the Wave Runner family, designed for heads who want the silhouette ohne the Screaming.
Resell Verdict
Currently sitting around $214 on average, with asks swinging wildly from $107 to $595 depending on size and condition. The Salt isn't shooting for the moon—it's stable, mid-tier Yeezy territory. With 77 weekly orders, there's consistent demand but zero frenzy. Flip potential? Modest. This is a hold-or-wear play, not a quick-cash goldmine. Long-term collectors might see slow appreciation as the 700 line ages into vintage status.
Fake Tells
- ▸Midsole ridges: Reps often have sharper, less organic wave patterns—authentic pairs show softer, hand-molded texture
- ▸3M pods: Fake reflective heel dots are too bright or misaligned; legit ones sit flush and glow subtly
- ▸Box label font: EG7487 SKU should match adidas's exact typeface weight—bootleggers use slightly bolder prints
Who It's For
Perfect for the minimalist reseller or buyer tired of loud Yeezys. Pairs effortlessly with earth-tone fits, ideal for year-round casual rotation without screaming "hype."
Sizing & Fit
Runs slightly snug—half size up recommended if you've got wider feet or prefer thick socks.
