Yandel and Ewing Athletics are back for a second collaboration, unveiling a special edition sneaker that marks the debut of Ewing’s new low-top model, the SL33. This latest collaboration pays tribute to Yandel’s hometown of Cayey, Puerto Rico, a picturesque mountain town known for its famous twin peaks.
Yandel’s SL33 Cayey comes crafted in a mix of premium materials, including beige leather and mesh, brown suede, and green leather accents, all elevated by reflective paneling for an extra pop. The lace lock system is a standout feature, allowing wearers to go laceless for a more streamlined look. The tongue highlights a custom twin peaks logo that cleverly incorporates the letter Y, representing Yandel, while his iconic logo graces the heel. The sneakers also come packaged with a range of extras, including a special box with an English and Spanish comic strip printed inside that continues the storyline from their previous release. Details don’t stop there—each pair includes a custom Ewing x Yandel straw bag and Puerto Rican flag wrapping paper, connecting back to Yandel’s roots and the spirit of the collaboration.
Patrick Ewing spoke about the collaboration: "I’m excited about this new low-top model as it adds a new element to the brand. The SL33 is a perfect combination of old and new, and it streamlines our collection. Yandel has been a great collaborator, and it’s been great working with him over the last two years, so it was only natural for him to debut the SL33. We created something special here, and we want to continue building on it.”
“I’m counting down the days to present this new model to sneaker lovers around the world,” said Yandel, continuing, “I’m very proud of our first edition, and now we can add this incredible new style to our exclusive collection in honor of the city that I hold close to my heart with great pride, a city that has witnessed my growth as a person and as an artist.”
The Yandel x Ewing SL33 Cayey will release on September 6, 2024, exclusively through Ewing Athletics, Yandel’s official website, and in-store at Stadium Goods. Coming in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $150. Download the Sole Retriever mobile app to stay updated on the latest releases, raffles, news, and more in the sneaker and streetwear world.
