The [adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sand-colorway) YEEZY 1020 and YEEZY 1050 V3 boots made an unofficial debut on [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mschf-24-boot), showcased by the account @gearsolegoods. The silhouette feature prototypes of the two boot models, boasting dramatic looks for the season. The shoes are free of the usual BOOST technology and come in the colorways of a muted tan or a bright orange.

Some of the bold components that make up the shoe include the three dimensional sculpted built and the tonal heat welding. The special "U Throat" zipper enclosure secures the wearer's foot and it is rounded out with a [chunky outsole made from rubber](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/field-boot-gtx). The 1050 V3 boots are attached to a toothy outsole made from black rubber materials to offer tread and traction.
