Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Bred: Size Guide, Fit & Review
The 350 V2 Bred (Black Red) follows the usual 350 advice: most owners go a half size up from their true size. The non-obvious part: the knit changed between releases, so fit is not identical pair to pair. Owners report the OG 2017 pairs with the soft, stretchy Primeknit run a touch roomier, while the re-release uses a stiffer recycled knit that feels tighter. Either way the upper breaks in, and removing the insole is a common trick to claw back a little length. Below you’ll find owner reviews, the sizing guide, a FAQ and where to buy.
Yeezy 350 V2 Bred Review
Here is what owners are saying on r/yeezys:
“The OG pairs from 2017 with the soft stretchy knit are a half size up, but the re-release pairs have the stiff recycled knit and fit tighter.” (r/yeezys)
“Most people go half size up. I wear 9.5 true to size and in Ultra Boost 1.0 and 2.0. My Yeezy V2s are a size 10, and sometimes I still take out the insole.” (r/Sneakers)
“It all depends on the type of foot you have. If you have a wide foot, I recommend sizing up a half size on the newer 350s.” (r/yeezys)

Yeezy 350 V2 Bred Sizing Guide
- From your true sneaker size: go half a size up for a comfortable fit.
- From your Ultraboost size: half a size up is the common consensus.
- Re-release (stiffer recycled knit): expect a tighter feel, so do not undersize.
- Wide feet: half a size up is the safer call, and pulling the insole adds a little length.
- Prefer snug: true to size works but feels tight until the Primeknit breaks in.
The half-size-up advice fits most owners, but because the knit differs between the OG and re-release, the same nominal size can feel slightly different. The upper stretches with wear, so a snug start usually settles.
Legit Check: How to Spot a Fake Yeezy 350 V2 Bred?
These checks are crowd-sourced from Reddit legit check threads. They are individual redditors’ opinions, not an official authentication method, so treat them as first clues rather than proof.
- Factory lacing: redditors point out that authentic pairs come with the laces coming from the inside over the top; a pair laced the other way matched known rep batches. (r/yeezys)
- Inspect the box label: an oversized trefoil logo and unusually dark text made redditors call the pair fake, along with a tongue shape matching a known fake batch. (r/yeezys)
Yeezy 350 V2 Bred FAQ (based on owners’ reviews)
Do the 350 V2 Bred fit true to size or should you size up?
Most owners go half a size up from their true size. True to size is wearable for a snug fit, but the shoe feels tight before it breaks in.
Do the OG and re-release Bred fit the same?
Not exactly. Owners say the OG 2017 pairs use a softer, stretchier knit and run a touch roomier, while the re-release uses a stiffer recycled knit that feels tighter at the same size.
What can you do if they feel slightly short?
A common owner trick is removing the insole, which frees up a little length and is enough for many people without going up another size.
Where can you buy the Yeezy 350 V2 Bred?
The Bred is easiest to find on the resale market: see current 350 V2 Bred listings on eBay.
