Deadstock Adidas Cardiff 1/500's are one of the thinner, more minimalistic pairs from the city pack collection. Other pairs of Adidas Originals that also fit the same mould from the same collection, are London and Dublin. Other pairs, such as the Manchester's (See them here) and Birmingham, are a more thicker, and more substantial shoe overall. Where are they for sale?. You may be able to find a pair for sale on certain collector forums or certain websites that try to source pairs of deadstock trainers to resell. But your best bet is probably eBay.
More recently being part of the Size? release, Cardiff are a very nice pair of trainers. The predominantly black upper (with yellow) is made from leather. This mix of colours are a symbol of the St. David cross, which is connected to Wales. The other material is suede, but that is only seen on the toe cap and the eyestay (the surrounding area where the eyelets are located). They also have the bubbled style tongue and fancy, signature style "Cardiff" wording on the side. They are a really tidy pair of collectibles.
Unlike some limited edition Adidas that don't have any number indication (1/20 - 1/500, etc), such as the Green Ardwick X (See them here), Cardiff do have the iconic "1/500" embossed numbering at the back of the shoe.
Like the others, Adidas Cardiff 1/500 were / are in huge demand. And with only five hundred pairs to go around, the price people are willing to pay when they are found for sale is rather high. They are now quite rare after all. Even with used examples, they still fetch several hundred pounds a pair quite easily.
Once worn out, some people even have them restored. But, if we compare them to when new Yeezy's hit the shelves, considering that a brand new pair of Cardiff go for around £500, they are not really that expensive in comparison to what some of the Yeezy's sell for online. And I know which pair I'd rather spend my money on.
