Comfortable Performance: adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V1 Triple Black 2016
When you're looking for a pair of Yeezys that you can wear practically anywhere, the adidas YEEZY Boost 350 V1 in Triple Black is a great option. The simple colorway and understated lace-up style make it one of the most versatile options in the 350 family. It first hit stores on Feb. 15, 2016.
Important materials on the black Yeezy 350 V1 shoes
These black Yeezys are made with two proprietary adidas materials. Primeknit fabric uppers bring a gentle amount of stretch, and the one-piece construction creates a sock-like fit. Sturdy heel tabs help you pull the shoe on and off. Inside the rubber outsole, adidas Boost technology offers superior softness and energy return. The secret lies in the tiny TPU foam capsules that make up each midsole. They're engineered for responsiveness, so they bounce back quickly in a wide range of temperatures. This foam gives the adidas YEEZY 2016 shoes their signature comfort.
Design of the 2016 Yeezy Boost 350 V1 Triple Black
The first version of the Yeezy 350 features a pared-down aesthetic. The uppers feature a flexible bootie construction with an all-over zebra-inspired pattern. Patterned rope laces complement the athletic style. The most distinctive elements of this shoe are the large rear pull tab and the half-circle accents on the medial panel. In the center of each semicircle is a subtle "YZY."
Ridged details extend from the outsole and up the sides of the midsole, adding an extra touch of texture. Boost and adidas logos decorate the bottom of the outsole, and three cutout windows expose the bumpy Boost material. Inside the shoe, there's an adidas logo and the Yeezy brand name on the insole.
Details of the adidas Yeezy Triple Black 2016 colorway
The common nickname for this colorway is "Triple Black"; officially, the name is "Pirate Black." The medium-gray laces pop against the black and dark gray uppers. Black soles and liners complete the style. Red stitching appears on the back pull tab. Keep in mind that adidas also released a 350 V1 Triple Black colorway (also called Pirate Black) in 2015. The older version looks nearly identical to the 2016 model, but it has lighter padding on the heel, a different type of suede on the instep, and a solid black pull tab.
