Adidas Yeezy 500 'Utility Black' 2018 Homage while 'GEL' branding is embroideredKanye West and adidas launched the Yeezy 500 Utility Black in July 2018. The retro inspired silhouette counterbalances its bulky form with a sleek, all black design. What sets this colorway apart from the standard triple black finish is a singular use of tone its a semi faded black that coats the combination mesh and suede upper, as opposed to the pitch black variety thats more common in the sneaker firmament.
