The Yeezy 450 "Dark Slate" remains faithful to the initial design except for the use of color, dark and intense, which defines the futuristic design conceived by Kanye West. The construction is made of Primeknit, a super light and comfortable material. The chunky rope laces intertwine for a seamless design, and the turn-up ankle collar offers maximum fit. Underfoot, a sculpted midsole features large spikes that almost extend to wrap around the upper, creating a graphic yet functional silhouette.
