With a simplified two-piece construction, the adidas Yeezy 450 Dark Slate features a Dark Slate foam sole that clasps a monochromatic sock-like Primeknit upper. Thick rope laces add the finishing touches. This model delivers a blacked-out iteration of Kanye West’s boundary-pushing silhouette. Stripped of color and exterior branding, the knit upper is secured with an integrated lacing system and topped with an elastic, sock-like cuff. Instead of a traditional midsole, the rubber outsole sprouts tapered appendages that wrap up the heel and side panels of the deconstructed build, providing support and enhanced durability.
