The latest silhouette to drop by YEEZY is the YZY KNIT RNR sneaker model for the season, which was originally described to be "Solar Power Yellow." Now it officially launches as the Sulphur colorway with a stark yellow marking most of the upper and the sole unit of the shoe.
It features a slip-on function with the laceless feature of the shoe, constructed entirely from knitted materials. At the lower section of the shoe, it is detailed with the Sulphur colorway that travels to the outsole, the midsole section, and the cushioning unit as well. To contrast the bright yellow, there is a tan colorway at the ankle section. Rounding out the shoe is a black print of the shoe's size on the collar.
