Kanye West, now known as Ye, is making waves not only in the music industry with his upcoming collaboration album "Vultures" with Ty Dolla $ign but also in the fashion world. Ye's split with adidas and Gap in 2022 marked a turning point, leading to his now-independent venture into clothing and footwear.
After his “performance” in Miami, viral social media moments with his daughter North, and headline-grabbing rants, Ye's recent focus has been introducing new Yeezy designs. The artist has already unveiled the Yeezy Pods, a $200 sock shoe that has begun to receive considerable promotion across social media from various influencers and collaborators. In a recent development, Ye's inner circle teased the release of new Yeezy Slides.
These slides represent a significant shift from his previous collaborations with adidas. Unlike the chunky, cushioned adidas Yeezy Slides, the new design is ultra-utilitarian, emphasizing simplicity and practicality. The innovative aspect of these slides is their ability to combine into a single unit for easy transport. When separated, the slides reveal a minimalist design featuring two thin slides with a forefoot cover. This design choice aligns with Ye's current approach towards minimalism and functionality, reminiscent of his earlier teased Yeezy Season 8 Slides but with a thinner profile.
Ye’s new non-adidas Yeezy Slides should be released in the coming weeks exclusively through yeezy.com. While the retail price is yet to be confirmed, the video shared on social media shows a $200 price point, though this is possibly a placeholder.
