6 months Later: adidas Yeezy 500 review
So it has been 6 months since the Yeezy 500 originally released, and since then we have seen only 3 colorways drop, with more on the way. The original hype was big, then died off, and were considered bricks.. but fast forward a bit, and the market seems to have adjusted a bit.
here is my 6 month retrospective review of the Yeezy 500.
Whats going on...

Lets talk about the Yeezy 500, start off with an overview of the model
Adiprene midsole
cut and sew upper
So 6 months later, and with hype increasing on newer colorways and resale rebounding, does it change your opinion of this yeezy model? it is one you have tried and you were happy to have got, or do you have regrets? Some sizes are now commanding a $600-$700 resale and once sold for a $15 profit.
Hype aside i think this model is just different, and I think once there is a stigma of "those yeezys aren't cool" it actually makes some people desire them more than the "cool" kicks.
Here are some of my Pros / Cons of the Yeezy 500
Pros
Layers
Retro feel on new model
Chunky is in
Smaller sizes for women, adidas has been great about this
surprisingly comfy on feet
life without boost is ok.
Cons
very limited colorways
doesn't showcase layers
may be too chunky for some.
$200 price point
model may not age well due to the unique design (not timeless)
Final thoughts? with more saturation of these, the original 3 colorways will likely increase in value, and the triple black colorway has to be my favorite of the group. I regret selling the Blush Desert Rat colorway as well. This open market is fairly unpredictable now a days so if you see sneakers like these that you genuinely like, and can get for retail or close to that, then disregard the resale hype and just do it... or u know what I mean.
Hope you enjoyed the vid! Leave a comment on any other sneakers you want a retrospective vid on of sneakers that have already dropped.

RETAIL PRICE $200
RELEASE DATE 2018-06-09
These new Yeezy 500 Super Moon Yellows are coming in hotter than a Jackson Hole bonfire. The latest colorway in the Yeezy 500 line, these use adiPrene cushioning in place of BOOST and feature a chunkier look that will grow on you (trust us). This all-moon yellow pair was the first colorway that dropped, as part of the Yeezy season 6 bundle, followed by a wider release in June of 2018. Fans of Ye need to make "No Mistakes" and add this Yeezy 500 colorway into the collection asap.

COLORWAY UTILITY BLACK/UTILITY BLACK/UTILITY BLACK
RETAIL PRICE $200
RELEASE DATE 2018-07-07
Kanye is back, this time with a brand new colorway of the Yeezy 500. Keeping it monochromatic, this pair is covered entirely in one color: utility black. Like other Yeezy 500s, this pair features a suede upper with mesh paneling. In addition, the midsole utilizes adidas’ Adiprene cushioning technology. Releasing in July, 2018 this pair retailed for $200 and is now available to cop on StockX today.

I didn't like these at the start, but that is almost the reason I like them because the more I look at them the more I like them. I now really want them and I love the different materials used.
-
This is better quality than 90% of Air Jordan’s which you don’t complain about so I don’t think the price should be a con.
-
Honestly the black ones are nice to rock every day. My favorite have to be the super moon yellow and the reason that they don’t have multiple colors is because the shoe was made for a monochromatic look, style. Also adiprene plus was a Adidas top-of-the-line cushioning before boost so if adiprene is 9 and boost is 10 and I don’t have to pay an extra $100 for boost like the 700 that drop today I’ll take adiprene all day..
-
I have the blush and I love them. I think a lot of the hate around this shoe is centered around the fact that it doesn't have boost. It's still comfortable, they can get hot and stuffy and start feeling like pillows. But these things are premium. The materials feel so good.
-
I got myself the utility black colorway for retail a few months ago and I love them! The materials are really nice and the shoe is holding very well, if possible look even better with a bit of wear... Very comfortable too! 🔥🔥🔥
-
I am here in 2022 and I gotta say, this is maybe my favorite silhouette of all time, and I absolutely adore the comfort and feel of my pair of Ash Grays. Big fan!
-
The quality on these are amazing, theyre comfortable and the black one is great for everyday use These are a must
-
I have loved these since day 1. Excellent, comfortable sneaker. Love all Yeezy's
-
I actually liked these a lot. And I agree with Hes on the fact that they could do some really dope stuff on that shoe as far as the colorways go, I feel like they design the yeezy colorways with versatility in mind, resulting in the silhouette being the star more so than the colors
-
I honestly love my black ones. They're so comfy and I wear them almost everyday over my ultra boosts now. Tbh one of my favorite pairs of yeezys yet 😁
-
I always loved the look it was different and when I got them I was actually surprised how comfortable they were and since they're relatively affordable I love them they're one of my go too pairs
-
How do you not have 1mil subscribers bruh 🔥
-
I love the crazy design on the 500s i want to double up one the super moon yellows and buy a pair of the salts coming out
-
the utility black are dope!
-
I don’t care if ppl hate this shoe, but it’s so confortable af 💯
-
I have worn mine almost daily for work for the past 2 years almost and they’re still comfy, still look good, and the only thing happening is the adipreme is starting to shave a bit but that’s with 2 years of consistent use
-
I got the utility blacks and I love them.
-
I like the yeezy 500, it's probably my favorite yeezy model. But i do agree, we need some different colours on the show, not all one colour
-
God bless u Hes kicks and ur family, Forever, amén! 🙏
-
i wear my utility blacks for work since im on my feet for 8+hrs n its so comfortable :)
