Drawing inspiration from 90s hiking shoes, the adidas Yeezy 500 Ash Grey features a layered upper constructed with Ash Grey mesh, suede, and leather. At the base, a sculptural brown adiPRENE sole adds responsiveness and support. The sneaker pairs an austere color palette with a ventilated build, highlighted by an open mesh upper with premium cow suede overlays. A rubber-wrap mudguard provides abrasion-resistant durability, while 3M reflective piping offers added visibility in low-light conditions. The adidas Yeezy 500 Ash Grey, released in December of 2021 and retailed for $200, rides on an adiPRENE+ midsole, rendered in a dark taupe finish and featuring podular construction modeled after adidas’ retro Feet You Wear technology.
