  • What's going on guys?

  • My, name is billy visuals welcome to my channel we're all about visuals and in today's video we're me talking

  • About the Yeezy 500 or also used to be known as the Yeezy Desert Rat 500 now in this video we're

  • Gonna, be talking about the sneaker technology, because this shoe actually features zero boost otherwise, they'll be called, Yeezy

  • boost 500

  • Now if this shoe actually features an old?

  • Proprietary technology, from adidas called adiprene plus, and we're gonna see whether or not holds up against

  • Boost and see if it's more comfortable, less comfortable or just as comfortable as boost technology, so let's get right into it

  • Cloud, foam boost alpha balance 4d and a deep reme plus

  • These are just a couple of shoe technologies that dida's has in the arsenal if you watch, my channel previously you'll know

  • That aside from introducing fresh visuals i also talked, about sneaker technology and its comfort as my number one priority

  • With the release of the Yeezy 500 this neutral tone sneaker features an outsole that incorporates a Adiprene plus a

  • Technology i've never tried until this sneaker

  • However before i had my hands on this i had to find out more on what's technology

  • Was really designed for so with a little bit of research i found

  • Chris from adidas running explaining the bits and bolts of adiprene adiprene. Plus visually

  • We use a deep reme in the heel, which dampens shock

  • as

  • You roll into the forefoot

  • We use a different material called a deep reme plus

  • Now this has a little bit more of a pop to it think of a pogo stick

  • In a blown-out shoe here, what, we can?

  • See is you'll find your a deep print here to plug in it right there and then the entire forefoot is a deep reme plus

  • So, we are going shock absorption

  • Transition through pogo, stick a

  • Little demonstration of what this looks like, is here's your heel, striking

  • Shock, absorption here's your forefoot striking

  • Propulsion here's another demonstration with the technology in ball form

  • Adiprene plus rebounds and a deep reme gives a lighter impact, but, from, squishing the sides of the midsole of the

  • 500 it seems like it's quite, soft but, not very shock, absorbing

  • this

  • Might mean that the 500 only featured the a deep reme plus technology in a midsole and not a deep reme that being said

  • When i take out the ortholite insult from the bottom it has this really interesting

  • Colorful pattern featuring different zones of firm and softness so perhaps ortholite already features a deep reme inside the shoe

  • Without the need of a deep reme in the midsole great so now that i'm done geeking out about it how

  • Does it actually feel, well to be quite honest i think it feels

  • Ok, the upper is pretty darn awesome it feels like michelin man is hugging your forefoot and ankle area all in the right places

  • but it's midsole and outsole comfort is definitely not as impressive as it looks if i were to rank them in terms of comfort i

  • Would put boots at the top

  • Alpha, bounce as a very close second and then cloud foam and then a deep reme plus now

  • to Put the Yeezy 500 into context this midsole and outsole design or tooling is actually a

  • Direct influence or replica of the kobe eight threes are, also known, as the eqt responsive this

  • Was during the feet.you, where era the id dicent reduce the feet you wear technology sneakers were designed for basketball players to prevent

  • Ankle injury from intense falls after putting up a basket or thong key in the net

  • Which is why the shoe has a very low, but wide profile in the midsole and outsole but all these activities that adiprene adiprene

  • Plus are designed for are actually quite high impact which is why i think the features aren't as prominent for casual

  • Wear such as walking as it is for jumping dancing

  • Or prancing now of course a deep reme plus and a deep reme technologies have flaws, which is why i dida's bought

  • boot because it

  • Fixes those flaws if you were to combine a deep reme + and a deep ring together it would not work together with shock absorption

  • As, well as energy rebound like, boost --is because boost takes the shock, away from you as

  • Well as energy rebounds quite effectively as

  • Well if you're, not familiar with adidas is boosting ology the easiest, way to explain it is to imagine like

  • You're, standing and walking on clouds and when you take

  • Your nick, step forward the springiness meister strike completely effortless that being said i think

  • Was mainly due to the execution of a deep reme + and not the technology that ruins the feeling of rebound

  • What i mean is even though boost is a great tool it has been executed wrong in the past, where the tool is rendered useless

  • Such as the superstar, boost or the tubular

  • Boost where you can't feel the properties of boost due to the hard outsole i think the same thing is happening here

  • Where the a deep reme + outsole needs to be flexible in order to be felt, by the wearer that being said

  • I think the comfort trade-off for the visual and intricate design of the outsole

  • Is worth it i've never personally come across a visual similar to that

  • Here's a direct comparison of the Yeezy 500 and the Yeezy 350 boost

  • Aesthetically you might be seeing yourself this shoe has a pretty wild design and have to agree with

  • You, completely but

  • if it wasn't wild or unique looking you wouldn't even be able to tell that shoe apart from other shoes on the streets if

  • You, look at the entire shoe there are no straight lines

  • No hard or sharp edges either the whole design changes your perspective on chunky shoes

  • Wearing it is actually quite light in terms of weight and even with the ovals curves swirls

  • And waves in the design it still keeps a pretty streamline shape as a silhouette

  • This is a very stark contrast and design compared to the minimal and super streamlined sharp looking Yeezy 350 v2

  • Kanye's recent interview, with leonard better known, as sharma lane explains

  • That his recent designs aims to be as branding

  • less as possible this certainly is a very unique design

  • Philosophy because his shift in focus instead of making that brand as loud as possible is to make this shoes design as loud as possible

  • Overall look of the Yeezy 500 is a very rugged, and durable i'ma pull up and kick your

  • Ass kind of sneaker versus the 350s which looking

  • Very, agile i'm gunning it gun gone on your feet kind of sneaker in contrast with the Yeezy 350s there's a lot

  • More materials used on this shoe the materials using a shoe is rubber for the else'll a deep reme plus for the midsole

  • 3m piping for the upper a mix of nappy suede mesh leather for the upper and

  • A piece wait for the eyelids rope lacing, and i'm not sure

  • What material it is but i assume is some kind of plastic for the mudguard around the midsole?

  • Alright, guys i hope you, guys, enjoyed the in-depth look of the Yeezy 500 and it's a deep reme plus technology

  • Let me know in the comment section below

  • If you, guys, like a deep room plus more than

  • Boost or boost is better than a deep reme plus or if they're both equal anyways you guys do scout visualize

  • And i'll see you guys in the next one peace

What's going on guys?
