Algae-Based Water-Repellent Technology For Kanye West’s New Yeezy Shoes

Kanye West has announced a new line of Yeezy shoes that are made partly from algae. In an attempt to reduce the company’s environmental footprint, West’s company is using algae to make the foam for his upcoming shoes. The algae-based foam, known as eVA, absorbs CO2 and grows rapidly. Despite the environmental benefits, some people are not impressed with the shoe’s color.

Aside from being extremely comfortable, the new Yeezy shoes also offer water-repellent technology. This technology helps keep water away from the lightweight mesh and prevents them from staining. Those with high-quality sneakers will appreciate the added protection their new sneakers will give them. In addition, they can be easily cleaned with the included cleaning and protecting kit.

The new Yeezy shoes are also expected to be available in a range of colorways. The first model is expected to release in April in a variety of sizes. The price is expected to range between $45 and $90 USD. For more information, visit the official adidas website or check out YEEZY MAFIA.

Kanye West has a history of controversial fashion drops. Earlier this year, his Foam Runner shoes featured holes throughout the upper. These shoes were also adorned with a Croc logo. Although the shoes were not intended to last long in water, they still have a long shelf-life.
