adidas Yeezy Boost 350 Turtledove (2022)

‘All Pics 100% Real Shots’

Late last week, the rumor mill was on fire following news of a possible restock of the adidas Yeezy Boost 350 “Turtle Dove,” a colorway that hadn’t seen the light of day since its debut in 2015. Word spread due most in part to leaker @yeezymic, who shared a swatch of the “Turtle Dove” fabric with lace holes identical to that of the original. While unconfirmed initially — and currently, still — the return of the “Turtle Dove” is seeming far more likely now than it did back in 2018, when the Three Stripes uploaded official images of the shoe for archive purposes. This is thanks to @solebyjc, as the account posted an image of said 350, claiming it to be the “First Look” at the 2022 iteration. As it borrows the same style code (AQ4832), the Spring-bound re-release sensibly mirrors the original construction. In the comments of the above-mentioned post, however, some believe the shape to be different, though that could be attributed to the use of a smaller, possibly kids-sized pair. Elsewhere, the model sports all of its signature details: the red, dotted line accents the rear pull tab, the sole features an opaque cream finish, and the “Turtle Dove” pattern itself is near indistinguishable from past pairs.
