Adidas YZY QNTM Sea Teal

What this pair is made of

Sea Teal is a QNTM model in a deep turquoise combined with black and cool grey. The upper is high-cut, reaching above the ankle, and is constructed from two materials: breathable mesh on the front and side panels, and neoprene, which wraps around the midfoot without rigid seams. The collar is padded, the tongue is contoured, and the whole shoe sits on a Boost midsole, a foam that returns energy rather than just cushioning the step. Hence the contrast that you only really notice in person: the shoe looks massive but weighs surprisingly little in your hand.

How to choose your size

The sizing ranges from 36 to 46 in European measurements with fractions, meaning 36 2/3, 39 1/3, 42 2/3 and so on. This is the full adidas size grid, so there is plenty to choose from, but that is exactly why it is worth double-checking rather than relying on memory. Measure your foot in centimeters, preferably in the evening while standing, and compare the result with our size chart. The neoprene around the ankle conforms to your foot after a few wears and ceases to be noticeable, but the insole length will not change, so that is the deciding factor. If the size does not work out, you have 14 days to return the item, and the cost of the return shipment is on you.

What to wear them with

The turquoise here is muted enough that it does not take over the entire outfit, yet it is distinct enough to be its starting point. The easiest way is to pair them with black cargo pants or wide-leg jeans with a cuffed hem, because the high upper does not like to be hidden under fabric. Add a grey or black sweatshirt and you are done. Other variants of this line can be found in the QNTM collection, and if you are looking for more, the entire Yeezy section and adidas models are right alongside. We check every pair for authenticity before listing: the box, product code, stitching, glue, and sole.
