The adidas Yeezy 500 fuses the German brand's retro design principles and Kanye West's affinity for future industrialism. Rendered in stone mesh, this iteration, issued in November 2019, houses tonal suede and leather panels, matching laces threaded through a tongue overlay, and reflective piping. The shoe uses a distinctive midsole with Adiprene technology for cushioned support and a curved gum rubber outsole.
