Adidas Yeezy Boost 380 'Alien' (2019)
Description
The Adidas Yeezy Boost 380 'Alien' (2019) marked the debut of the Yeezy Boost 380 silhouette, introducing a fresh direction for the collaboration between adidas and Kanye West. Released in December 2019, the model built upon the success of the Yeezy Boost 350 V2 while delivering a more sculpted profile, advanced Primeknit construction, and enhanced comfort. The 'Alien' colorway quickly became one of the most recognizable releases in the Yeezy catalogue, distinguished by its intricate woven pattern, earthy neutral palette, and semi-translucent midsole. Blending innovative performance technology with minimalist design, the Adidas Yeezy Boost 380 'Alien' (2019) remains a landmark sneaker that continues to attract collectors and enthusiasts alike.
Overview
Crafted with an engineered Primeknit upper, the Adidas Yeezy Boost 380 'Alien' (2019) features a combination of cream, light grey, and muted green tones woven into a distinctive camouflage-inspired pattern. A translucent monofilament stripe runs across the lateral side, adding both visual depth and breathability. Underfoot, the full-length BOOST midsole is housed within a semi-translucent rubber casing, delivering the responsive cushioning that has become synonymous with adidas' premium footwear. The herringbone-pattern outsole provides dependable traction while allowing sections of the BOOST foam to remain visible. Unlike earlier Yeezy models, the 380 features a higher-cut sock-like collar for a more secure fit and an updated sole geometry that enhances everyday comfort.

WHY OUR PRICES
The honest answer. The question we hear most: how can you sell the same sneakers for so much less? Here's the full, transparent breakdown — not a marketing line.
Where your money goes
At a boutique — $400
- The shoe itself ~15–25%
- Flagship store rent overhead
- Global advertising overhead
- Celebrity partnerships overhead
- Multi-layer distribution overhead
At Sole Dept
- The shoe itself what you pay for
- Boutique rent removed
- Advertising levy removed
- Celebrity premium removed
- Intermediary margins removed
Why we can do it
Production cost
The materials, construction and labour in a quality pair are a fraction of the boutique price. The rest is overhead and brand premium.
The retail mark-up
Brands add huge mark-ups to fund advertising, flagship stores and distribution across dozens of countries — you pay for all of it, whether you want to or not.
The Sole Dept difference
We source directly through UA (unauthorised authentic) supply lines. Lean operating costs, and every dollar saved is passed to you at checkout.
PACKAGING & WHATS INCLUDED
Every pair arrives complete. When your order lands, it looks and feels exactly the way it should — the full retail presentation, nothing stripped out. Here's precisely what comes in the box.
What's in every order
Original branded box
Each pair ships in its correct branded shoe box with the matching size label and SKU — the same box the silhouette is meant to come in, protected inside an outer shipping carton so it arrives crush-free.
Complete original packaging
Tissue paper, silica packs, the branded wrapping and inserts that shape the shoe in transit — all present, just as you'd expect from a boutique unboxing.
Dust bags
Where the model is issued with dust bags, they're included — ideal for storing your pair, keeping it clean between wears, and travelling with it.
Extras & spares
Spare laces, alternate lace colours, replacement parts and any accessories that ship with the original — included in the box exactly as intended.
Free gift with every order
On top of the full packaging, every Sole Dept order includes a complimentary free gift as a thank-you — a small extra tucked in the box, on us.
