The adidas Yeezy 500 'Taupe Light' stands out in an understated monochrome colorway that allows the shoe's premium construction to come to the fore. Open mesh makes up the majority of the upper, reinforced with cow suede and leather overlays throughout. Reflective piping around the eyelets provides an element of high visibility, while a rubber wrap at the midfoot offers added durability. The layered construction is supported by an adiPRENE+ midsole inspired by Kobe Bryant's third signature shoe, the adidas KB8 3.
