adidas Drops a Slate Carbon Tonal YEEZY BOOST 350 V2 CMPCT

— May 26, 2022 — Lifestyle
adidas introduces a new tonal iteration of the signature YEEZY BOOST 350 V2 CMPCT sneaker model with the latest Slate Carbon colorway. It is designed with dark neutral hues throughout and has the familiar sock-like knitted upper that uses the notable Primeknit material.

It rests on a black hue throughout and has woven details around the mid-foot to showcase a streak knitted that rests right above the midsole foundation for a slight touch of contrast. Inside of the midsole units is the BOOST foam that helps with providing comfort with every step complete with the ribbed exterior detailed with a stealthy paint finish. Branding accents round out the shoes by the insoles in the same tonal shade.
