Yeezy Powerphase Grey Calabasas UK

Adidas Yeezy Powerphase Grey Calabasas (CG6422) UK. Their release took place on the 9th December. Whilst they could be considered as flying under the radar when compared to the multitude of 350 releases that have recently been taking place, The Adidas Yeezy Powerphase Grey Calabasas CG6422 are the much more practical, simply better designed pair of trainers. Compared to the 350 design, they are really nice. Although, I don't know why they are labelling them as "Yeezy", as if Kanye West came up with the design.. He should take zero credit.

Take a look at the originals, which are much more sensibly priced compared to the Yeezy Calabasas (basically no difference at all)

This design has been done since the 80's, by many different brands. In fact, one of the first to have this exact same design other than Adidas, was Reebok with their Reebok Classic range. They have leather uppers, nice thick soles, and gold "Calabasas" lettering on the side. Also with added stitching at front and heel to make them less likely to fall apart. These trainers are also available in White (CQ1693), and they are nice in that plain colourway. But the Grey are better!

Thankfully, the UK prices for the grey Calabasas, retail and even at resell prices, are considerably lower than what the hype trained 350 V2's, like the Beluga and Blue Tint are selling for. You're best bet is to quickly find a buy it now auction on eBay. If there are pairs being sold in a "let it run" to the end style auction, the price can go much higher if you and several others get into a bidding war.

Like a lot of Adidas, with Powerphase Calabasas, you may need to buy a size up to what you usually take, as Adidas trainers generally run small. All in all, these are a much cooler looking, much more subtle pair of trainers for casual wear. The 350 range of Yeezy's just scream main stream media zombie fashion follower to me, and are generally considered as kids footwear really. Or maybe I'm just getting old!
