The silhouette of the high-top sneakers was revealed back in December 2018 by Yeezy Mafia, though the initial drop date was rumored to be in the spring of 2019, as per the tweet. It appeared again in September 2019 when the Yeezy team stopped by Complex Sneakers’ office wearing the unreleased style.

The new silhouette includes a heightened black collar with suede overlays. The lined exterior bears resemblance to that of the Yeezy Boost 350 V2.

The reflective style of the shoe has caused quite a stir already as NBA’s official policy states that “shoes containing flashing lights or similar types of adornments (e,g., metallic or reflective) are not considered appropriate basketball footwear.” This leads fans to speculate that the league may ban Kanye’s newest style.
