An earthy colour tone is featured on the adidas Yeezy 500 'Brown Clay' throughout the branding-free upper with a ventilated open mesh base with soft suede overlays and a reinforced rubber mudguard. The subdued colour palette extends to the sneaker's high-rebound adiPRENE+ midsole, modeled after the retro 'Feet You Wear' technology used on Kobe Bryant's adidas KB8 3 from 1999. It's built on rubber pods to deliver better grip.
