Migos member Offset dons a pair of boots that cannot be missed - he wears the upcoming YEEZY NSTLD Boot in a reflective gray colorway design. The shoes are set to join the upcoming adidas YEEZY launch and are made to be reminiscent of puffer jackets with the bold bulbous design of the silhouette.
The shoes are also made with full quilted materials and entirely coated in the hi-vis 3M coating that allows them to reflect all forms of light. The exoskeleton at the midsoles and soles are detailed in a darker charcoal grey color. At the bottom of the shoes are ridged traction outsoles for trekking through different forms of terrain, offering an elevated functionality.
