Color-Changing Knit Sneakers

The Latest YEEZY Boost 350 V2 Light Has a UV-Sensitive Mesh Material

The latest YEEZY Boost 350 V2 Light sneaker model is made up of a unique material across the upper to allow it to change color when it comes in contact with sunlight. It is made using a UV-sensitive mesh material to retain its breathable components and the shoe is set to drop officially tomorrow.

The strip on the side of the shoe catches light and evokes new colors. The traditional design is normally a reflective stripe but with the new material, it turns into a rich yellow color when it is exposed to any sunlight. This completely changes the color palette of the dusty tonal sneakers, offering the perfect pop of color to round out the summer season.
