Adidas YEEZY 500 (Blush/Desert Rat)
Initially released in February 2018 as a limited pre-order in New York and Los Angeles, the Yeezy 500 ‘Blush’ underwent a general release in April 2018. Its moniker is a fitting one, as the monochromatic light taupe finish barely registers as a color. The subdued palette is contrasted by a bold silhouette, featuring a paneled mesh and suede upper combined with a hefty midsole reminiscent of adidas’ Feet You Wear' technology of the 1990s.
Expanding his adidas Yeezy line even further, Kanye West presents the Yeezy 500 Desert Rat sneaker. The Desert Rat features a blend of retro and modern, with a chunky Feet You Wear sole unit from the adidas archives and a high-fashion influenced new design up top built in mesh and premium suede. The adidas Yeezy 500 Desert Rat “Blush” is available here in a clean, minimalist look of tonal light tan from top to bottom—a hue on par with much of Kanye’s Yeezy fashion line.
