BUILDING A MYTH

Inspired by the dad-shoe trend, Kanye West and Adidas are releasing the clinging silhouette of the Yeezy 500 in 2017!

A reference in the world of music, the multi-talented artist launched himself into the fashion industry and began a series of collaborations, each one more popular than the last. He works in particular with brands such as Nike and Louis Vuitton. In 2015, following numerous disagreements with Nike that Kanye West decided to create its own brand in partnership with Adidas: Yeezy.

The very young firm launched several models in the year it was founded, the Yeezy Boost 750, the very first pair followed quickly by the Yeezy Boost 350 version 1 and 2 and then the Yeezy 950. Over time, the designer settles down as one of the most influential personalities in the fashion industry. The pairs coming out in ultra limited edition, the demand remains constant and the fans are rushing to wear the latest silhouettes of Yeezy !

A SNEAKER WITH DISRUPTIVE DESIGN

It is in this context that the Yeezy 500 is born. In 2017, the trend is towards the chunky sneaker. Also known as dad shoes, this fashion is that of the wide sneakers of the 90s worn by American "dads". Kanye West was greatly inspired by this wave to imagine the silhouettes of the Yeezy 700 and the 500.This new line of Yeezy 500 includes the version Blush, the first release. Quickly attracting the curiosity of the fans, the designer then decides to decline the model and reveals the versions Super Moon Yellow, Utility Black and most recently Salt.

Separating itself from the Adidas sole Boost , the model is wider and adopts a more original look. Criticized at the beginning because of its design, which is very different from the models currently on the market, the Yeezy 500 is now one of the most popular models among sneaker fans!
