While 2019 has already seen the release of a handful of Yeezy sneakers in new colorways, it appears the DSRT BT—previously a non-adidas affiliated Yeezy item—has been prepped for a relaunch as part of adidas’s co-branded YZY with two new colorways.
While the boot will now be manufactured in adidas’ factories, the differences between the two are minimal. The new boot features adidas branding on the outsole (which, in earlier iterations, featured the season number) as well as adidas Yeezy co-branding on the insole. Otherwise, the new, collaboration iterations are nearly identical. If anything, these boots are perhaps best seen as hightop versions of the Yeezy 500 silhouette—tweaked slightly with a hiking boot-inspired sole. The boot features nubuck, suede and mesh on the upper as well as a reflective pull tab and rubber outsole. Though it is unclear whether or not the change will result in an increase in quantity or a decrease in quality, fans will be happy to hear that the adidas version of the “DSRT BT” will retail for $200, almost $100 less than the original.
The adidas Yeezy DSRT BT “Rock” will release April 13, while the “Oil” colorway drops on April 20 via adidas and its stockists. Be sure to check Grailed’s Hype marketplace shortly after the drop for your chance to cop the new boots.
