A new Yeezy Boost 350 has been revealed, after the well-loved Kanye West model was granted a fresh colorway dubbed 'Moonrock,' which resulted from a collaborative effort between [adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lwst-sneaker) and a Japanese streetwear giant known as A Bathing Ape.

Staying true to the sneaker's original construction that's proven successful both in the eyes of consumers and the many brands that have tried to emulate it since its release, the Moonrock update is lightweight, flexible and luxuriously cushioned -- making for a versatile piece of footwear that consumers can look forward to showing off on the daily.

What's different about the new Yeezy Boost 350s however is its colorway, which features [BAPE's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mschf-boot) logo subtly in camouflage fashion. Diverting from the traditional combination of greens that are often used for the pattern, the new Yeezy Boost 350s swap between white, blue-gray and black.
