# Ergonomic Neutral-Toned Slides adidas Debuts the 'Adilette 22' in 'Carbon/Aluminum' By Kanesa D | Published 2022-07-22 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carbon-aluminum References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2022/7/adidas-originals-adilette-22-carbon-aluminium-release-information) & [adidas](https://www.adidas.ca/en) adidas ‘Adilette 22’ has returned in a new ‘Carbon/Aluminum’ colorway for the summer, drawing comparisons between the adidas-designed slides and Kanye West’s YEEZY label. The new ‘Adliette’ colorway is reminiscent of the [YEEZY FOAM](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yeezy-800) RNNR in ‘MXT Moon Grey,’ offering a more accessible alternative to the widely popular silhouette. The slide boasts a recycled body decorated with 3D topography and martian expeditions, opting for ‘Carbon’ and ‘Aluminum’ shades to accentuate the rippled Earth-like properties of the shoe. [adidas’](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adifom-iiinfinity-mule) “THE BRAND WITH THE THREE STRIPES” branding can be found on the lateral side of the sole, in addition to a small Trefoil logo.
