Kanye West and adidas have an incredibly fruitful collaborative relationship, but no pair has been as divisive as the YEEZY QNTM. However, in the upcoming “Amber Tint” colorway, the sneaker may have finally found its purpose.Originally designed as a lifestyle-meets-basketball sneaker, the “Amber Tint” iteration goes to show that the QNTM is more than just a futuristic B-ball sneaker. Instead, it doubles as a versatile winter-ready high-top pair that wears its newfound autumnal tones brilliantly well.As expected, the side panels are made from a semi-translucent mesh material that’s overlayed with wavy cream, brown, and black stripes, before leading into a cream suede toe bumper that blends into the semi-translucent rubber BOOST-filled midsole. Towards the rear, the QNTM’s black elements appear, working the rear section of the heel and the synthetic collar, while reflective touches have been applied to the former. Rounding out the pair are the rope laces.The adidas YEEZY QNTM “Amber Tint” is set to release on the adidas CONFIRMED app on December 3 for £220 GBP (or $250 USD in the U.S.A.) and is available in adult, kids, and infant sizing.In case you missed it, check out this week’s issue of Sole Mates.
