Taking the father shoe trend to a whole other level, the adidas Yeezy Rat 500 is an entirely new genre of sneaker, and today, the stealthy ‘Shadow Black’ colourway is now available to purchase through Yeezy Mafia… with a small catch.

Constructed of a combination of mesh, suede, and leather, this murdered out crep is as distinct as it gets. Additionally, unlike the 700 Wave Runner, this particular chunky Yeezy doesn’t feature any increase cushioning, and instead opts for adiPrene technology. A unusual choice for sure, but still dope nonetheless.

If you’re thinking of copping the adidas Yeezy 500 ‘Shadow Black’, Yeezy Mafia currently lists them as a ‘Friends & family exclusive Sample’, so naturally, that comes with a significant price tag… €12,345 to be exact. To add to this, it’s only available in an oddly particular 11.5UK, so if this is your size, it could be worth the cop. That being said, the ‘Utility Black’ is slated to drop in June, so if you don’t meet any of these requirements, there’s only a few months left to wait!
