Description
The adidas Yeezy Boost 700 V2 Tephra, first released in June 2019, offers a bold yet earthy reinterpretation of the popular 700 silhouette. Its upper combines premium materials such as buttery suede, supple leather, and breathable mesh, all layered in varying tones of grey and taupe. The design draws inspiration from volcanic debris—'tephra'—with its fractured, rugged aesthetic, echoing both natural textures and urban toughness.
The sneaker rests on a black segmented Boost midsole that provides superior cushioning and energy return, with a durable gum rubber outsole delivering traction and grip. Reflective detailing accents the streamlined look, enhancing visibility and style. Comfortable sock-like fit and secure lace system complete the package, balancing performance with a refined aesthetic.
The Tephra is both a technical marvel and a cultural statement, perfect for sneaker enthusiasts who appreciate innovation, craftsmanship, and a connection to nature’s raw power.
Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity of your sneakers, we recommend a considered approach to their care. Regular maintenance is key to preserving their aesthetic integrity and material quality.
- General Care: For leather and synthetic uppers, gently wipe away dirt with a soft, damp cloth and a mild cleaning solution. Laces can be hand-washed separately. Allow the sneakers to air-dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight, to maintain the structure and quality of the materials.
- Suede & Nubuck: These delicate materials require specific attention. Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt, always brushing in the same direction. For stubborn marks, a specialist suede eraser is recommended. Avoid water, as it can stain and alter the texture. To protect against the elements, a light application of a waterproofing spray designed for suede can be beneficial.
