If you're a big fan of Kanye West and everything he has been doing with Yeezy, then you probably remember his Adidas Yeezy 451 sample from nearly three years ago. For those who don't know, the 451 was a sneaker with a bizarre shark-tooth-like midsole that was holding up a primeknit upper. Ever since the early pairs surfaced, we haven't heard much about it, except for whenever Kanye decides to wear a sample out in public.

Thanks to the good people over at @yeezymafia, we now have a new photo of a sample that appears to be of a beige colorway. As you can see, the shark-tooth midsole is still very prominent here although the primeknit collapses on itself almost like a sock. There are even some large rope laces that give a bit of a drawstring look to the upper.

Overall, this is one of the weirder Yeezy designs Kanye has come up with over the years although there is truly no telling as to when it will ever drop. The post above suggest a Yeezy 450 is in the works although we have yet to see any real teasers of that.

Let us know in the comments below what you think of these and stay tuned for any further updates.
