Adidas Yeezy Desert Rat 500: Don't Believe The Hype

Complex's weekly series Don't Believe the Hype takes a look at what's hot and what's just hot air. Sneakers, clothes, tech, food—nothing is safe. While his music and politics are surrounded in controversy, Kanye seems to always hit home runs when it comes to fashion, especially sneakers. The Adidas Yeezy Desert Rat 500 is no exception. But if we found a pair of really good fakes of the sneakers and they were a fraction of the resale price for the Yeezys, could you get away with wearing them? Speedy gets two interns to model the pairs to see if they pass the eye test of Complex staffers in this episode of Don't Believe The Hype.
