YEEZYS PHOTOS: Adidas 350 V2 “Granite” is referred to as fake Yeezy by African-Americans

Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Adidas 350 V2 “Granite” is referred to as fake Yeezy by African-Americans. (Read More Here).

The first adidas 350 V2 is set to arrive in early 2023.

Information reads: “Adidas 350 V2 “Granite” ⚫️

Releasing January 2023 🗓️

Who Copping Without The Yeezy Branding?”

Ending one of the biggest collaborations in sneaker history and taking nearly a half billion dollar loss, adidas cutting ties with Ye and the Yeezy label led to speculation on what was to come in regards to already produced Yeezy sneakers and planned launches in the future. Considering the patents for nearly every single adidas Yeezy silhouette are owned by The Three Stripes, it only makes sense to continue to release them without branding them as a “Yeezy” release and adidas itself announced they would start launching pairs of non-Yeezy Yeezys come 2023. Well, we now have our first official images of the adidas 350 V2 in the previously seen “Granite” colorway.

Keeping the same exact design we’re all used to on the 350 V2, this “Granite” colorway hasn’t changed at all on the Primeknit upper or the Boost-cushioned sole unit with tonal greys taking over the iconic “SPLY-350” knit pattern. Running across the lateral side, a dark black stripe reaches the toe and begins to break apart while also hosting the aforementioned “SPLY-350” text in a contrasting grey hue. Tonal laces weave in and out of the Primeknit and partially cover the Frankenstein stitching on the spine of the tongue. Although we don’t have pictures of the insole, we shouldn’t expect to see the usual co-branded Yeezy and adidas text and the same can be said for the packaging this pair will come in. Underfoot, a semi-translucent grey rubber midsole and outsole encase the full-length Boost cushioning system, completing the design.

The adidas 350 V2 Granite is set to release in January 2023 through adidas Confirmed and select adidas retailers online and in-store. Coming in full-family sizing, the retail price will remain the same as before – $230 for men, $160 for kids, and $140 for infant sizes.

In another news, Genesee County Sheriff Chris Swanson on Wednesday revealed disturbing details of the case in a press conference that led to the arrest of Michael Barajas, 36, on Dec. 8. Swanson said Barajas had filed his teeth down to points and threatened to bite the victim and rip her throat out during the course of her three-week imprisonment.

The victim accepted, not knowing that she would be repeatedly raped and trafficked for the following three weeks.

Once the pair arrived to a dilapidated home, Barajas allegedly locked her inside a room and tied her to a bed. Genesee officials said they found rope at the scene. The victims’ room had an exterior deadbolt and all the windows in the hone were screwed shut. 

Barajas repeatedly sexually assaulted the pregnant woman, and had other people come over to sexually assault and traffic her, police said.

“This guy used the opportunity to not only sexually assault but have people come over and traffic her as she was tied forcibly to the bed while they assaulted her,” Swanson said.

Swanson said the woman attempted to escape the dead-bolted room three times. 

The first time she ran out of an open door during an exchange, but Barajas and the other suspects chased her down, firing shots at her and dragging her back to the bedroom.

A second attempted escape also led to her recapture. On Dec. 8, the victim suffered a medical emergency related to her pregnancy and was seen by nurses who recognized that the woman was in serious need of help.

The woman reported she had been held in a home since Thanksgiving, when Barajas spotted her walking days after she had been kicked out of another residence, the sheriff said.

Barajas offered her food and shelter, which the woman accepted, and drove to a house. But as soon as they entered, he allegedly locked her inside a room and tied the woman to a bed, Swanson said.

Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton authorized charges. Barajas was arraigned this week in 67th District Court in Flint on seven felony counts, including kidnapping, first-degree criminal sexual conduct, human trafficking and assault with a dangerous weapon, records show.

Bond was set at $35,000 on each charge, according to the court filing.

Barajas remained jailed Wednesday and the case remained under investigation, Swanson said.

Anyone with information on Barajas’ associates is asked to contact the Sheriff’s Office at (810) 257-3422.

Barajas was arrested and charged with seven felonies, including kidnapping, criminal sexual conduct, and assault with a dangerous weapon.

His cash bond was set at $250,000.

Police continue to investigate. They are also searching for the men who raped the woman, Swanson said.
