adidas introduces a new Utility Black colorway to join the roster, detailing the signature YEEZY BOOST 700 sneaker model for the season. The brand features paneling details throughout the chunky silhouette complete with a tonal upper that has a touch of contrast by the outsoles.

The uppers are made from a black tonal mesh for breathability, suede, and leather for a collage of black hues together. Details continue at the matching laces, the printed insoles with adidas logo branding, and the sock lining. It rests on top of a sculpted midsole foundation that is fused with BOOST technology. It is then rounded out with a gum rubber outsole for traction and the aforementioned tonal contrast touch.
