The adidas Yeezy 500 High Taupe Black is part of the collaboration between adidas and artist Kanye West. This sneaker features a padded collar for comfort and support around the ankle, along with a lace-up closure for a secure fit. Made from a blend of suede, leather, and mesh materials, it offers a stylish design. The OrthoLite® insole provides moisture-wicking and breathability properties. A standout feature is its thick and chunky sole, with a midsole crafted using adidas' lightweight Adiprene technology for excellent cushioning, impact absorption, and reduced foot fatigue. The outsole is made of durable rubber for traction and support. Released on October 17th, 2022, at a retail price of $220, this model is designed in murky earth tones with no-tie elastic laces, dark taupe elastane, and suede and leather overlays in varying shades of brown. The high-top silhouette rests on a sculpted adiPRENE+ midsole inspired by adidas’ retro Feet You Wear technology from the ‘90s, enhanced with reflective piping for visibility in low-light conditions.
