Closer Look at the adidas YZY BOOST 350 V2 CMPCT "Slate Blue"
Kanye modifies his most popular silhouette with a new PrimeKnit pattern upper and extended collar.
Expansion has been the key for Kanye West and his team at adidas in 2021 as this year has brought about several new YEEZY silhouettes to fruition. A handful of them are gearing up to make their debut during the holidays, one being the adidas YZY BOOST 350 V2 CMPCT in a “Slate Blue” colorway. The kicks first surfaced back October, but now we have a detailed and exclusive look at the kicks.
For this newest silhouette, the creative genius keeps the PrimeKnit upper constructions from the original YEEZY Boost 350 V2, but he makes some modifications in its appearance. The knitting here is woven to match that of the YZY BSKTBL KNIT, and comes in the form of streaks just above the midsoles and towards the heels while the toe boxes and mid-foot are designed with more abstract patterns. A majority of the base layer is swathed with a lighter shade of gray while “Slate Blue” accents are stitched into the extended ankle collars, down the throat and on the toe boxes. The laces are treated with a solid black hue and come with a pull tab for wearers to tighten the shoes with. Down below, the ribbed midsoles and outsoles alike are supplied with a golden yellow finish.
Early reports have these dropping on December 6, but adidas and other retailers have not yet confirmed this.
