Here's Your First Look at the Alleged YEEZY BOOST 350 V2 "Earth" Model      It’s already been mentioned that the   adidas Originals YEEZY BOOST 350 V2 “Cream” is set to drop next month, but it looks like a new model will follow that release in the form of the YEEZY BOOST 350 V2 “Earth” according to the folks at Yeezy Mafia.  YM just recently revealed new images of the shoes as samples and here we see them in an “earthy” natural tone. The kicker, just like the “Cream” version, the “SPLY 350″ brandings at the sides are not visible and a heel loop is included. We’ll all just have to wait and see if these are the final design details and if this minimalism is the new direction for V2 colorways.     Since it’s still early, there’s no official release date as of yet, but stay tuned as we get more info. Take a look at more images of the alleged adidas Originals YEEZY BOOST 350 V2 “Earth” model below: https://www.instagram.com/p/BR_foGMBurc/ https://www.instagram.com/p
