Expect adidas and select retailers to launch these in the coming weeks for $210 USD.ORIGINAL ARTICLE:The "3% Rule" — that something existing only has to be changed by 3% to be new — was popularized by the late, great Virgil Abloh, but his good friend Ye appears to have taken it to heart as well. At least when it comes to his YEEZY sneaker colorways, that is.

However, the "Stone Teal" offers a stone-colored Primeknit upper that's a few shades lighter than its masterfully murky counterparts, and close examination reveals an ever-so-slight teal tint on the heel as well.

However, it's likely to touch down this October. When it does it'll be priced at $210 USD.For more footwear news, check out Hypebeast's Sole Mates, a weekly series that spotlights notable individuals in street culture and their favorite sneakers.
