Don't care about hype or lack thereof, I just liked this shoe the moment I saw the first preview pics and was in my top anticipated releases of the year. Glad it was so slept on and an easy cop, even here in the Philippines where every Yeezy release seems to sell out instantly. Incredibly comfortable if you get it in the right size for your feet, which was 1/2 size up for me. I love the 500s in general, and this was a welcome silhouette as I've been waiting on a high top Yeezy besides the Desert Boot. The colourway looks great in person and on feet is absolutely sweet in the right fit. With so many holiday releases one after the other, this might have been pushed to the wayside somewhat, but I think in time it may end up being a slow burn, being an OG colourway and a high top at that.
Xmasochist exacto I always say idc about hype just buy what u like it seems like every time a yeezy drops it sits people asking the same silly? is hype dying who cares it’s like they’re just looking for something sneaker heads my goodness 🙄
Sweet comment! I totally agree with everything you said. I dropped my money on these babies because of its aesthetics not because of it being hyped or not. Great to know they are comfortable as well. I can't wait to rock my pair from Kith!
They come without shoe trees inside you will need some to help break them in around the toe cap. There is no give it’s cut True to size so if you have a slightly longer toe go half a size up.
I bought size 9. True to fit. These slates are super comfy and go well with black outfits. Website didn’t advertise to size up but they did for the desert boots i ordered.
When I showed up to get these, I was the only person not wearing a full designer outfit. Everyone else there was there to resell and were getting all the money sizes. I saw a guy who had size 8 feet get a size 14... People only interested on flipping these as soon as the price went up, don't see anyone actually wearing them which sucks cause IMO this is the second best release in the last few months. Not to mention it is the only 500 with more than 1 major colour outside of the outsole.
Coped after I completely missed the releases because I don't like 500s at all! But tried the highs on and was instantly in love! I think it's an awesome "winterized" Yeezy which is not expensive - 220$/€. It sat because of the crazy amount of yeezies dropped in December, for sure.
I enjoyed seeing the wet ground for some reason. Since I live in Salem, I know exactly how the weather has been lately. It makes it hard to want to bust out my pair of 500's with all of the mud and muck.
Cool vid. I honestly like the aesthetics of this pair. It shouldn't be about the hype, it should be how a dope creation like these 500s appeal to the person enough to drop bucks on them. I think the monochromatic look is very MODERN and that to me is very attractive compared to the neon (even though I just copped a pair of NEON Off-White vulc haha check out my last upload) or the common reds, blues, blacks, or whites. I think these are must-haves in the collection.
On mine letters on insole were gone after I wore them two times. Very comfortable shoe in my opinion. I went half size up and they fit good (wide feet).
Same thing happened to me. Made me think mine were defective because I’ve never had that happen in any of my Yeezys. Wore them once and was disappointed to see the letters gone or peeling off.
The tongue is to bring the 500 into the consistent design language of the next round of Yeezys. The 700 V3 Azael has a very similar tongue. I think the hype is due to the colorway. If the panels or the neoprene pods matched the sole it would have popped more. Also, I think the 500 has always been a tougher sell of all the Yeezys. The Utility Blacks sat and now they are going for almost double the price. I liked these. Only 3 sneakers I wanted in December: bred 11s, 700 V3s and these. Missed on the V3s.
These were definitely a cop. These actually look better than the lows imo. Adidas & Yeezy supply knew what they were doing by releasing the 380 Aliens, the Black Friday 350v2s, the yeezreel’s, the Yecheil 350v2, the 350v2 zebra, 700 carbon blue along with these 500 slate mids all within a 5 to 6 week span. The hype was always there, but it became too much for a lot of folks to handle in the wallet especially around Christmas time. And that I believe was by design to compete and overshadow the release of the AJ11 breds, off-white dunk lows etc.
I bought these shoes a half size up from my true size and my toes were still getting destroyed. The ankle collar was pushing my foot forward creating dead space behind my heel. It was horrible to wear, had to return it. Shame, because I liked it and it was comfortable otherwise.
Totally agree. Originally got them TTS and it was cramped in the toe area. Returned them and bought another pair going up half size. Toes still hit front of shoe but now there’s noticeable heel slip. Love the shoe otherwise.
Antwan Frazier I wear size 9. They are true to fit and comfy. They were pulled off the websites tho even tho they didnt sell out check my ig @DAVIDSOUN
viewsonichomie seemed like they weren’t selling at all so they pulled it. Most yeezys sell out same day. This one sat on adidas and yeezysupply for at least a week or two after releasing then disappeared. Im glad adidas shipped my extra size 11 and 12.
David Soun yeah I copped my pair off adidas.com last week Saturday. Then I checked Yeezy supply and adidas again a couple days later and they were gone. I’m glad I copped these when I did. They are a sleeper. I’ve never seen them pull shoes like that before. It was weird.
Trevor Thoreson they’re pretty tight around the toes. My true shoe size is 9.5, and I thought buying them in that size would be perfect since I already own 9.5 size Adidas. I recommend a half size, maybe even a whole size larger to make it easier to get on
@@TheBlaineMarshall Same. I got my true size and they're a bit tight. Wish I got a half size up, but they're def feeling more and more comfortable as I wear 'em. :)
Terje Riisnaes Not sold out. They just put them in the vault for now. When another yeezy releases they’ll probably put them on the page again. They’ve done it before with other yeezys that sat.
I like the color of the sneaker. The reason I’m passing on this one is because I can only see myself wearing these with sweatpants, it’d be really hard for me to pair them with jeans or any other pants. Maybe some cargo pants 🤷♂️ Also I want to get the new alien color way coming up in February
Lol you basically nailed why I don’t own any 500 lows. They look super feminine to me and I think girls look great with them. The highs definitely look more masculine
These do NOT fit TTS...if anything go up a minimum of a 1/2 sz because of the shoe shape. The ankle collar forces your foot forward, making your toes squeeze at the end of the toe box. Only reason you recommend staying tts is because your foot length wise measures at a sz 8.5 at most, based on your slide review. Maybe throw that in the review next time instead of talking about the hype behind the shoe dying, when you buy every other release 🤷🏻♂️
Mad Genius no doubt. Only 2 you tubers I trust in regards to sizing and neither are hes. Best bet on these is to order multiple sizes, find the right one, then return the others. Adidas and ys accept returns for refunds even after being worn
Diesel oh that’s good bro. The outer packaging box (not the ones that the shoes r in) r damaged from when I opened it. can I still get a refund/my shoe size changed when return via post?
His reasons for it not selling well are silly af lol. Other yeezys are mainly one color and they sold fine. This guy doesn't know what he's talking about.

Yeah man fuck the hype just get what you like and don’t stress people’s shit opinions
I don’t understand how almost every time someone buys a yeezy they talking about is the hype dying why does that even matter my goodness
Because they are Sheep. Real shoe heads gonna cop what they like despite what other ppl think.
MercySaidSo exacto 🙌🏾
@@cesaethoc6461 💯
More hype = better resell price
Exactly my thoughts! I honestly don't buy shoes because of the hype. It's more on how it appeals to me as a person.
Come on man. A review where you talked more about it it sold out or not, but didn't mention the comfort of the shoe. Is it comfy?!
It’s a very comfortable winter shoe, the upper is very nice and warm
reseller ..... the fact is people just don't like 500.... i brought one... but toe box is a little tight... wear it half a day need to break it in...
Sorry it’s just as comfy as the lows but I did like these on feet too! Felt good
Even comfier than the regular 500s because of the collar 👌
They come without shoe trees inside you will need some to help break them in around the toe cap. There is no give it’s cut True to size so if you have a slightly longer toe go half a size up.
They look like kobe crazy 8s
700's my favorite Yeezy model. Never cared for 350's and 500's. But these right here are DOPE!!! They look better as a high top
Most def!
Ha!! You’re worried about the hype around the shoe!! They feel great and true to size! Being very slept on ! Great buy
Just bought them from Kith. Can't wait to rock them!
Kat aka Kettchupp love them🧡💜
I think the hype is there. This is the first time I actually wanted a pair of 500’s
Same here :)
these are dope, definitely slept on
conor13640 i agree. I copped
Still waiting on mine from YS. Can’t wait to get these on! All that neoprene makes them look comfortable.
QuikBrdr83 did you size up? They run small just FYI. Smaller than the standard 500s
maroonblood151 I did. I’ve always gone a half size up on my yeezy’s. 👍🏼
I bought size 9. True to fit. These slates are super comfy and go well with black outfits. Website didn’t advertise to size up but they did for the desert boots i ordered.
probably the only yeezys that I actually like the look of 😂😂😂
SAAAAAME!
i had to grab a pair of these and i love them. i never liked the 500's til these dropped.
Saaaame here!
They're flames man
How’s sizing Brotha
Great review! I was excited at first but after on feet I returned them
When I showed up to get these, I was the only person not wearing a full designer outfit. Everyone else there was there to resell and were getting all the money sizes.

I want them but I'm waiting to see if the price goes down on stockx or goat.
Christopher Hammock won’t be going down soon. They pulled the stock on Yeezy supply
Christipher Hammock they will go up and not down because of the hype
Coped after I completely missed the releases because I don't like 500s at all! But tried the highs on and was instantly in love! I think it's an awesome "winterized" Yeezy which is not expensive - 220$/€.
It sat because of the crazy amount of yeezies dropped in December, for sure.
Neoprene is somehow more water-resistant than mesh and I also think that High Slate are more for winter season as well.
Just got these and they’re 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Did you go a whole size up? I got mine a half size up and they were STILL SMALL IDK if I should order a 11 or 12 and I wear 10.5
You went on size 10 for DSRT BT, and here with 500 High Slate? 10 or 9,5?
I enjoyed seeing the wet ground for some reason. Since I live in Salem, I know exactly how the weather has been lately. It makes it hard to want to bust out my pair of 500's with all of the mud and muck.
I added black reflective laces to them, and I love them even more
That's actually a great idea man, thanks!
These are underrated
This is the only yeeze that I would like to wear.

Omg thank you for this comment and do they crease or do you just buy crease protectors?

I still like your old intro...
How do these fit snug? Like Rubin if shoe tight or is there wiggle room
It would have looked better with mesh instead of neoprene. But then it would have looked like the desert boot.
Christopher Hammock nah i think neoprene looks better
Christopher Hammock i agree
I coped I think they look much better on foot . And they are super comfortable with all that extra padding around the ankle
I bought these shoes a half size up from my true size and my toes were still getting destroyed. The ankle collar was pushing my foot forward creating dead space behind my heel. It was horrible to wear, had to return it. Shame, because I liked it and it was comfortable otherwise.
EXACTLY
Totally agree. Originally got them TTS and it was cramped in the toe area. Returned them and bought another pair going up half size. Toes still hit front of shoe but now there’s noticeable heel slip. Love the shoe otherwise.
True to size if you have wide feet or go up 1/2 size ?
Hey bro should I true to size or go up a size? I’m on the wider feet group too lol
Half size up
these are my favorite yeezes, i dont even like the normal 500s
Great video 😛
Actually I think the colorway is dope and I would have loved to see it on a 500 low. The silhouette is what ruins it for me.
Why is the review only about hype instead a real review about sizing, fit, comfort things like that
Antwan Frazier I wear size 9. They are true to fit and comfy. They were pulled off the websites tho even tho they didnt sell out check my ig @DAVIDSOUN
David Soun why we’re they pulled from website?
viewsonichomie seemed like they weren’t selling at all so they pulled it. Most yeezys sell out same day. This one sat on adidas and yeezysupply for at least a week or two after releasing then disappeared. Im glad adidas shipped my extra size 11 and 12.

@@viewsonichomie is there way to still get them
Do you know how much height these shoe gives you??
Why are they geeting cheaper in stockx? From 450 to 200??
Disagree. Neoprene is fire compared to mesh. Glad the hype wasn’t too hard on these
My question is how hard are they to get on? They look difficult to get on
Trevor Thoreson they’re pretty tight around the toes. My true shoe size is 9.5, and I thought buying them in that size would be perfect since I already own 9.5 size Adidas. I recommend a half size, maybe even a whole size larger to make it easier to get on
I’m about to order these off stock x but I don’t know what size to get and I wear a 9. I don’t know if I should go true to size or a half up. 😒
Which size did you end up getting?
With this specific shoe I'd go a half size up! Mine are a little tight. Hoping they stretch.
@@TheBlaineMarshall Same. I got my true size and they're a bit tight. Wish I got a half size up, but they're def feeling more and more comfortable as I wear 'em. :)
Is it navy or black I can’t tell
I copped these under retail off of stock x. Sometimes I like bulky shoes especially for winter/fall/early spring.
I wear 9.5 Yung 96s, should I stick with it if I get these?
Is the hieght on these like a boot? Like a 6 inch boot
They took the the 500 Slates off yeezysupply & adidas 🤔🧐
I noticed that too. Sold out?
Terje Riisnaes Not sold out. They just put them in the vault for now. When another yeezy releases they’ll probably put them on the page again. They’ve done it before with other yeezys that sat.
Is this $220? Not worth buying
Lol that’s controversial opinion “700 v3 is better cop than 500” :) I wish it was that easy, but keep up the good work tho...
Cant stand the lows but these are a great boot/winter type look sneaker. First pair of Yeezys I've ever kept. The lows look disgusting.
What size should Iget ? I wear a 10.5-11 in ultraboost and need to know if i should get a 10 or 10.5 in these
Get 11 cos they fit small
Numbers or hype aside, the look pretty good.
Right on
Copped these as a fan of the 500s.
Merry Christmas
I like em 🔥
Cmon do a shoe collection vid. I guarantee it’ll make a million views
I like the color of the sneaker. The reason I’m passing on this one is because I can only see myself wearing these with sweatpants, it’d be really hard for me to pair them with jeans or any other pants. Maybe some cargo pants 🤷♂️ Also I want to get the new alien color way coming up in February
I like the look of the highs just not feeling this colorway
I just got a pair does anybody else feel like its tight around the toe area??
I got these the slates love the look I hate the lows not a fan
Only reason I some what like these shoes is cause they remind me of the Kobe crazy 8's
Lol you basically nailed why I don’t own any 500 lows. They look super feminine to me and I think girls look great with them. The highs definitely look more masculine
350s look feminine to me as well

Word up bro... I bought them tts cuh a lot of youtubers said it fits tts and boy was that a mistake on my end cuh my toes are getting squashed

Mad Genius yep. Outer box is irrelevant. But you only have 7 days to decide from the date you receive the order.
Diesel Ite thanks bro. Btw do u think these yeezys will increase in value by next year
Are you wide foot
I would like to see them in monotone
I love the 500 high, I just don't like the colorway.
theyre nice.
Also got the high top yeezy 500 Tyrian
Probably should’ve came out in a different color than it probably would’ve been more hype
It looks like they might have finally sold out. At least they`re not showing up on Yeezy Supply right now.
Terje Riisnaes didnt sell out. They pulled them from sales. Ive been watching and stocked up on a few fairs.
I'm bout to cop these for $200
I feel like they released so many yeezys at once I didn't really care for them over the other releases
How comfortable are they?
Blair Zhou I wear size 9. They are true to fit and comfy. Peep my ig @DAVIDSOUN
I passed on them I didn’t like the cream bottom.
Highs over lows, I mess with these but at $220 eh
@Justice Beaver yeah but regular 500 go 200 and I'm bleh on that price too lol
Nice
First here👆
Gung ging ging gang
🤘👍❤️
I like everything about this shoe except for one thing and that's the protruding ovals. That one thing kills this shoe for me.
Other than the OG Kobe bottom, NATHAN good about these hi-top dad shoes. It’s a pass
They look a tiny bit like AJ XIs but worse
Look like crazy 8s
Yeezy jordans:
Jeter 11s
they do look good on lady.
I dont like any yeezy lows
Yall are weird its like buying high top airforces wtf😂😂
This sneakers is yeezy x timberland
12th like 5th comment
Anyone know the sole height on these ? (How thick the sole is essentially )
Hi
His reasons for it not selling well are silly af lol. Other yeezys are mainly one color and they sold fine. This guy doesn't know what he's talking about.
I think they are cooler than the lows. But I think highs usually are.
Not worth it.
Such an ugly shoe!!! I just don't get it...
They are ugly it looks like you stepped on marshmallows
