Leaked Images of Yeezy Boost 451 Show Kanye West’s Most Unusual, Avante-Garde Style Yet
Fans now have a new look at the Adidas Yeezy Boost 451 after images of the unreleased shoe leaked to social media yesterday.
It features an all-mesh upper, with sawtooth mold detail stretching from the midsole to the eyelets. The midsole itself extends through the upper for an unusual look that’s different from other Yeezy releases to date. Since the style’s title includes the word “boost,” fans think it will boast the Boost cushioning present in many Yeezy silhouettes.

Photos show the avant-garde model in three colorways: white/blue, volt green/black and fuchsia/black.
Yeezy creative director Kanye West first showed off a look at the sneakers back in April 2018, posting now-deleted images of them to his Twitter account. He revealed that sneaker designer Steven Smith aided in the creative process for the shoes. Since then, however, there’s been no official word on the kicks.
