A rare Adidas-produced prototype of the Yeezy Scuba Boot, tagged “COACHELLA SCUBA ADLT” on the interior label and marked “SAMPLE – NOT FOR RESALE.” Manufactured June 2019 (ART MV0224), this size 15.5 prototype represents the earliest Adidas-run iteration of the Scuba Boot concept, developed specifically for Kanye West’s Coachella 2019 performance.
Constructed in neoprene with reinforced stitching, the design foreshadows Kanye’s pivot toward avant-garde footwear silhouettes later refined outside Adidas’ sample chain. This pair predates the brand’s outsourcing of experimental builds to Garrixon Studios, cementing it as a true Adidas archive artifact.
Provenance:
• Produced by Adidas Sample Factory (APE 779001)
• Label reference: “COACHELLA SCUBA ADLT”
• Internal stamp: “SAMPLE – NOT FOR RESALE”
• Date code: 06/19
• Pre-Garrixon prototype, linking directly to the Adidas in-house Yeezy development period.
Cultural Significance:
Unveiled to the world at Coachella 2019, the Yeezy Scuba Boot exemplified Kanye West’s embrace of performance-driven, utilitarian footwear with futuristic design language. Only a handful of prototypes are known, most retained within private archives. This example is among the few to surface publicly, tying directly to a pivotal moment in both Kanye’s career and Adidas’ Yeezy development.
