Adidas Yeezy 450 Sulfur

The shape you'll recognize from across the street

The Yeezy 450 Sulfur is built around a single idea: an EVA foam sole that doesn't stop under the foot, but climbs up the sides of the upper with narrow teeth. In profile, the shoe looks more like a shell than a classic sneaker. The upper is Primeknit, stretching in every direction and hugging the foot like a thick sock. Sulfur is a bright, sulfurous yellow spread across the entire pair, with no contrasting panels and no stitching in a different color, so the entire effect is created by the form, not the color palette. This is one of the most distinctive editions in the Yeezy 450 collection.

Fit and sizing

The fit depends entirely on how the knit settles on the midfoot. Upon the first wear, the shoe sits tightly around the entrance and simply needs to be pulled onto the foot; after a few days, the Primeknit molds to its shape and stops constricting. Those with wider feet or a high instep usually feel more secure in a half-size larger than their everyday shoes. Sizing runs from 36 to 46 ⅔, with half sizes in between, so it is worth measuring your foot beforehand and comparing the result with the size chart.

How to style them

The 450 looks best where the sole has room to show off: with a cuffed pant leg, trousers ending above the ankle, or shorts. The yellow is strong enough that the rest of the outfit can remain black, grey, or beige, as the shoe provides the accent on its own. The knit breathes noticeably better than leather, so this is definitely a pair for the warmer half of the year. You will find a similar, sculpted design language in other Adidas Yeezy models, and if you are looking for something more low-key for everyday wear, check out the Adidas Streetwear collection.
