Last Thursday, a throng of paparazzi snapped photos of Kanye West leaving his SoHo abode while wearing a pair of unreleased all-black Yeezy Boost 550s with red tonal details. Following the 2016 MTV VMAs show on Monday, Yeezy was once again spotted; this time, flaunting the coveted and speculatively called 550 shoe in a new color scheme and an updated silhouette outside of Madison Square Garden in New York City. The pair presumably sees a more undulated midsole, a painted stripe across its side panels and is fittingly swathed with a knitted zebra-like upper as seen on past variations. Moreover, the side stripe is also inscribed with “SPLY – 350” in red lettering. Thanks to Kim Kardashian West, fans can get an even closer look at the sneakers via her Snapchat photo above.

There is no word yet on when the shoe will be released, but expect the Yeezy Season 4 collection to drop in NYC this September 7.
