Yeezy enlists a new variation of a popular design with the adidas Yeezy 500 Slate High. This is the first high-top sneaker silhouette Yeezy has released since the 750. Similar to the 500 Stone release, Yeezy replaces mesh with neoprene to add a sleek look to this high-top model. This Yeezy 500 High is composed of a Slate neoprene and suede with reflective piping. A matching Adiprene midsole and gum rubber outsole completes the design. Launched in December 2019, this makeover features a Slate-colored neoprene base overlaid in paneled suede with touches of tumbled leather. Rope laces secure the tongue and a textured mudguard reinforces the sidewall. Offering contrast, the sculpted midsole holds Adiprene cushioning and undulating tread patterns on the rubber outsole.
