adidas introduces a new look at the latest colorway design of the YEEZY 500 High sneaker model for the season with the Wakaran tonal update. The new iteration gives the high-cut model a plush upper that blends the materials leather, neoprene, and suede together. All three fabrics are finished in a beige color for a neutral look for the season.
The shoe boasts no branding details, letting the designs speak for itself. It is held by thick rope laces that offer adjustments for wearers and obscure the paneling visuals by the neoprene tongue. Gray trimming lined the shoe's structure and sits on top of the adiPRENE midsole in gray at the full length before the matching rubber outsole.
