Kanye West and adidas released the Yeezy 500 'Utility Black' in July 2018. The retro-inspired silhouette counters its bulky shape with a sleek all-black design. What sets this colorway apart from the standard triple black finish is a singular use of hue: it's a semi-bleached black that coats the mesh and suede combination on the upper, as opposed to the black-tone variety that's more common on the firmament of slippers.
