The adidas Yeezy 450 ‘Dark Slate’ provides a blacked-out version of Kanye West’s boundary-pushing model. Stripped of color and exterior branding, the knit upper is fixed with a cohesive lacing system and finished with an elastic, sock-like cuff. In lieu of a standard midsole, the rubber outsole sprouts tapered appendages that roll up the heel and side panels of the deconstructed look, providing support and enhanced stability within its grasp.
