I know that is a big statement to make and we are only 8 weeks into the new year but hear me out.
This isn't a rash statement, I know they just made $1.2 billion in sales last year. As neither you or I are the company director, this shouldn't mean much to you. Yes I'm aware there was 33 pairs of Yeezy's released last year...
But take a second and actually think about it, IF not all the majority of the Creps are just remixes of the same 5 colourways, it's like rinse and repeat over at Adidas. Yeezy's before, whether you loved or hated them would always push for innovation and experiment. Take the 700's for example first dubbed as 'Dad' shoes and now they are a fashion statement. The 500's didn't take off in the same way if we are speaking on public perception but you can appreciate the efforts (to a degree).
What used to be Yeezy's MVP's the 350's are now DEAD, they recycle the same 5 colours and just add subtle differences eg. Cloudwhite/Yeshaya/Static

Looking at what's been previewed & leaked for this year it's looking like it's going to be more of the same for the most part.
With the 350's in a creative decline you would think the ever so popular 700's would just naturally take over. That is sort of the case but it would depend if you are a fan of the new 700 "MNVN". Personally I'm not the biggest fan thus far, I feel like the quality is cheaper in comparison to the V1 & V2 700's and I'm not sold on the concept of laceless Yeezy's. Hopefully they can release some nice colourways to sway my opinion.
Still on the note of 700's the first pair of V3's released late last year and you can be the judge of them yourselves.

A Complete redesign from the previous two versions, they've gone from "Dad Shoes" to a futuristic/alien-ish look. I'm not going to disregard these Creps straight away I'm still giving it time to marinate.
Funnily enough Yeezy released a new Crep nicknamed Yeezy 380 "Ailen"
Now this only leaves the highly anticipated Yeezy “Quantum" which are Kanye West debut basketball shoes

Now if you play ball this might be a crep for you, I mean they look better then the Lebron's but I'm still working out whether that means much..
