adidas announced the newest sneaker from Ye's line of branded footwear titled the 'YEEZY 500 Granite.' This is a high-top, bulky sneaker adorned in a monochromatic colorway. The upper of the shoe features a dark gray mesh for breathability. The lowest portion of the upper, and the midsole, are colored in a smooth dark granite color that awards the sneaker its name.
The toe vamp, eyestay, and heel of the sneaker feature several gray suede overlays with charcoal-colored stitching. The YEEZY 500 Granite incorporates more than ten different shades of gray across its entire body, making it a minimalist, subtle sneaker, despite its high-top form factor. The YEEZY 500 Granite will be available at various adidas retail locations for $200 USD.
