There’s a new Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 arriving Saturday in a white-and-black “Zebra” makeup. But if previous releases are any indication, there are bound to be more people who come up empty-handed in their attempts than those who succeed in buying the sneakers. Making the process even more daunting is this latest colorway is believed to be one of the most limited-edition releases yet.

Instead of succumbing to astronomical resell prices, consider trying one of these Yeezy-like alternatives. Although none of these shoes are designed by Kanye West, they each feature elements that are reminiscent of previous Yeezy Boosts.

Nike Air Presto
The original Nike Air Presto was released more than a decade before the Yeezy Boost, but this “Oatmeal/White” women’s colorway features a silhouette and shade similar to many of West’s designs.
