A new Yeezy 800 colorway was just spotted on feet, and it looks very different from the original all-black pair we saw first.

Another Yeezy 800 colorway might be on the way, and this one is a bright yellow. Gosha Rubchinskiy was spotted wearing the pair, giving us the best on-foot look yet.

The photos show a pale yellow upper with light grey mesh panels. Layered overlays wrap across the sides, and yellow laces tie it all together. A touch of green shows up on the tongue and the sole stays light to match.

Ye teased this colorway back in August. He posted four colorful versions of the 800 on Instagram. The yellow pair was one of them, with grey and a green sockliner. Seeing it on feet is a good sign that it could be real.

There's still no official word on release plans for this colorway. The Yeezy 800 itself is expected to drop in December, with pricing yet to be announced. We never really know which colorways will end up releasing, and which ones stay locked in the vault.

The first pair we saw was all black and almost completely logo-free. This yellow is the opposite. It's loud, playful, and something Yeezy hasn't done in a while. That contrast makes the 800 feel like a full range of sneakers, not a one-off. Of course, we'll have to wait and see.

Gosha being the one to wear them is a fun detail. He served as Yeezy's head of design from late 2023 until early 2025. He has since relaunched his own label. It's hard to read too much into it, but it's a nice callback for fans who followed that era.

The 800 is part of Yeezy's push to build its own lineup after the adidas split. It leans into the retro runner trend with ballistic mesh, leather overlays, and a deconstructed look. The brand is also working with JD Sports now, which should help get pairs in front of more people.

Pastel colorways could be what helps the 800 stand out. Black sneakers are everywhere, but a pale yellow runner is not. If the yellow pair does release, it could be a fun one to track on resale.
