If there’s a brand that keeps pushing the boundaries of streetwear style, adidas YEEZY has to be the standout. A hands-on collaboration masterminded by Kanye West, the YEEZY brand is already an iconic staple among sneakerheads and streetwear fashion enthusiasts. It’s pretty impressive, but one thing that has solidified its elevation has to be the unconventional nature of the brand.

If there’s an article of clothing that is generally worn by people, you can trust that the YEEZY version likely challenges the idea of what it is, or what it could be. Compared to the rest of the YEEZY brand philosophy, the outward appearances of YEEZY Slides seem fairly average. But things take a more exciting turn once they are on your feet.
The Collection of YEEZY Slides
The YEEZY Slides debuted back in December 2019 and became an instant hit. adidas capitalized on this with the release of multiple colourways, embracing the earthy tone YEEZY tends to stick with.
While the design looks pretty simple, Ye has actually been prototyping laceless footwear since his original deal with adidas back in 2013. The YEEZY Slides were originally launched with “Desert Sand”, “Bone” and “Resin”. Over time though, we’ve seen new colourways emerge such as the “Soot” and “Core” models.
The build quality is pretty durable with comfort also being a highlight. It is made of two components while appearing to have a one-piece type of design. The parts are a serrated sole for grip and a moulded upper portion. Minimalistic design is something iconic with YEEZY, so seeing them achieve this without sacrificing the quality of the soles is great. You can wear these all day long thanks to the maximum cushion you get on your feet. If you’re a homebody, wearing these can literally elevate your comfort levels.
Styling the YEEZY Slides is something that shouldn’t take too much thought. They’re interchangeable with any regular pair of Slides but with a chunkier look. In that case, wearing a pair of shorts will complement them for a laid-back appearance.
In 2022, the brand continues to push new colourways that have continued to sell out on every release. The YEEZY Slides Enflame is a good choice with its bright, attention-grabbing orange. Some other options are the YEEZY Slides Ochre, Glow, Core and Pure.
