adidas Is Reportedly Bringing Back the YEEZY 500 Model in 2023
Without any actual trace of YEEZY itself.
adidas recently announced that it would be releasing non-YEEZY branded silhouettes in 2023 after the sportswear brand was forced to terminate its partnership with Kanye West earlier this year.
As it turns out, the company still owns the rights to all YEEZY-designed models and as a result, plans to continue launching them regardless of the partnership ending. Since the first announcement, adidas has shared a look at some of the former YEEZY silhouettes set to make a reappearance, starting with the 350 V2 and most recently, the YEEZY 500.
Images of the non-branded iteration have since surfaced online, showcasing the sneaker in an all-over neutral colorway. The shoe’s upper features a metal-colored base fused with a lighter gray shade and complete subtle suede overlays. The shoe appears to be finished off with synthetic mudguards and streamlined sole units, rounded out with adiPrene cushioning for added comfort.
The inner parts of the shoe remain to be seen, though we’re fairly certain that no YEEZY branding will make an appearance.
Take a look in the gallery above for a closer look as we await further release info.
