Yeezy 450

The Adidas Yeezy 450, unveiled in 2021, is a departure from previous designs in the Yeezy collaboration between Adidas and Kanye West. While the earlier models such as the Yeezy 350 and 700 were revolutionary in their own right, the 450 takes it to another level, presenting a radically different silhouette that challenges conventional sneaker aesthetics. The shoe features a sock-like upper made from Primeknit material, ensuring comfort and a snug fit. However, the most striking feature of the Yeezy 450 is undoubtedly its outsole, which appears to engulf the shoe’s upper in a claw-like fashion.

This provocative design element isn’t just about looks; it also serves a functional purpose by providing enhanced support and cushioning. The Yeezy 450’s sole is made of EVA foam, providing a lightweight yet durable base. Unlike its Yeezy predecessors that featured Boost technology, the 450 opts for a different cushioning system but still aims for optimum comfort. The shoe was initially released in limited quantities and colorways, making it one of the more elusive models to secure from the Yeezy lineup.
