The Yeezy 500 'Blush' was first introduced as a limited pre-order collection in New York and Los Angeles in February 2018, but later became widely available in April of the same year. The shoe earns its name from its monochromatic light taupe color, which almost appears devoid of any distinct hue. This understated palette serves as a striking backdrop to the shoe's bold design, highlighted by a combination of paneled mesh and suede on the upper, as well as a substantial midsole that pays homage to adidas' iconic 'Feet You Wear' technology from the 1990s.
