The official release of the Adidas Yeezy Boost 750 in “Light Grey/Gum” is June 11th, but if you want to have the best chance to buy the newest version of the Yeezy Boost 750’s, you’re going to need to do some homework beforehand.
The exact number of 750’s for sale this time is still unknown, but you can bet that there will only be a very limited number of the shoes for sale. During the last release, there were reportedly only 9,000 shoes available in total. We’ve heard word that this release will be much bigger, but we just don’t know how much bigger.
And you know what? It doesn’t matter because the supply is going to be nowhere near as high as the demand. That’s why you need to give yourself the best chance to buying the Yeezy 750’s.
Update–6/8/2016: We now know when Adidas Confirmed will begin reservations for the Yeezy Boost 750s. 4 PM EST.
Update–6/8/2016: They sold out on Adidas Confirmed in one second. Literally one second. Your only bet now is to score them from Adidas.com/Yeezy when/if they go on sale or via a raffle.

The Season 2 Yeezy Boost 750’s will be available in Light Grey/Gum, our favorite colorway. This year’s 750’s will feature a glow-in-the-dark sole, a light grey nubuck upper and a light grey elastic midfoot strap.
Adidas released a pretty cool little video (above) called “It’s just made differently” that details how the sneakers are actually made. So now that we’ve gotten all those hypebeasts worked up, let’s show you the best ways to ensure you get pair.
How To Buy Yeezy Boost 750’s (Season 2)
This season, there are only two ways you can buy a pair of Yeezy Boost 750’s in Light Grey/Gum. You can either do it via the official Adidas Confirmed app, or via an in-store raffle. Let’s go over the raffle first.
Yeezy Boost 750 Store Raffle
Not every sneaker store in the world is going to be selling the Yeezy Boost 750’s, so it’s important that you take a look at this list of stores reportedly offering pairs of the sneakers. If you see a store on this list near you, we suggest that you call ahead to confirm.
While you call, you should also ask if they’re doing a raffle for the shoes. Stores doing these raffles will usually pick names at random out of a large box (or list). The winners will then be allowed to purchase the Yeezy 750’s. This is done to help ease the absolute insanity and large crowds that show up for the Yeezy releases.
It’s important to note that there’s not limit of stores whose raffles you can enter, the only problem is that you can’t be present at all the stores simultaneously at those raffles.
Adidas Confirmed
For most of us, the Adidas Confirmed app is going to be the best chance you have at getting a pair of adidas Yeezy Boost 750’s. It’s important to note that there are various “hotspots” you’ll need to be in to actually order the shoes. Since the reservations open on Wednesday, you’d be smart to get all of this done by Tuesday night on multiple different devices.
Download Adidas Confirmed via Google Play
Adidas Confirmed via iTunes
1. Registration
First and most importantly, you need to download the Adidas Confirmed app (above). Once you’ve downloaded Adidas Confirmed, open it up and enter your information to the best of your abilities. Upon login, you should see the Yeezy Boost 750’s. Click it and follow the instructions.
2. Wednesday
Now as we said, the reservations for the Yeezy Boost via Adidas Confirmed open Wednesday at 4 PM EST. But just in case you forget, we suggest you allow for push notifications from Adidas Confirmed, and also set up push notifications to be sent to your computer (via Tweet Deck) from Adidas and Kanye West.
Once the reservations open at 4 PM, click the app and mash that reserve button like crazy. Adidas Confirmed uses the “first come first serve” system.
It’s very important that you’re within the “hot spot” of a store that’s selling the Yeezy 750’s when you try to reserve a pair.
3. Saturday
Hopefully if all goes well, you’ve gotten your reserved pair of Yeezy 750’s. Now all you have to show up to the store listed with the right amount of cash (or a credit card in your name), the device you ordered it on, and photo ID at the right time. Your ID must match the name and the credit card on the Confirmed App.
