We have witnessed many changes in the world over the past two years: the shift from working in an office to working at home has forced us to look at clothes in a different way. When you work at home, comfort is the top priority. This was also evident at Yeezy.
In the end, one of the most popular models of the brand is not a sneaker, but rather a slipper. We’ve put together everything you need to know about Yeezy slides and how you can also purchase a pair for the summer if you want. The Yeezy slides have already seen quite a few colorways. But let’s begin with the basics first.
A brief history
In 2018, Kanye West unveiled the first edition of the ‘Yeezy slipper’, which was the first version to be released. Kanye West wore the slippers to a wedding, which got a lot of attention due to the fact that they looked too small and badly fitted. In response to the criticism Ye received, he stated that it is the Japanese way of wearing slippers and that you should hang your foot by one to two centimeters over the back of the slipper.
As part of the Yeezy Season 6 collection, the Yeezy ‘Graphite’ slipper was released. At the time of its release, it wasn’t yet a collaboration with adidas. This would happen only a year later with the release of the adidas X Yeezy slide.
Almost a year after the release of the Yeezy ‘Slipper’, adidas and Yeezy joined forces to release the Yeezy ‘Slipper’ in 2019. A limited edition series of Yeezy slides were released in the first collection, which featured three colourways: ‘Desert Sand’, ‘Bone’, and ‘Resin’. The slides are made from a thick material called ‘EVA Foam’, which is incredibly durable and light in weight. The design of the Yeezy slides is a one-piece, which gives them a minimalistic appearance.
The flip-flops have been released in seven different colorways since the first collection. Although the flip-flops are a hot item and sell out in no time, new colorways are released regularly and old releases are restocked.
What makes Yeezy Slides so expensive?
The main reason for the popularity of Yeezy is the fame of Kanye West and his work. However, when it comes to pricing, one more factor needs to be taken into account – supply and demand play a major role. Adidas has devised a brilliant strategy for a shoe like this. Kanye worked for Nike before starting his own brand, designing the Air Yeezys.
Yeezy products are limited, meaning that only a limited number of them are made. As celebrities and influencers wear them more and more, the demand for the sneakers is growing, and the Yeezy Slides are no exception. Retail prices for slides in the US are 60$, while resale prices range from 150$ to 250$ depending on the colorway. Limited colorways are more expensive on the resale market since fewer pairs are available.
As a versatile summer shoe, this Adidas Yeezy Slide is available in soothing monochrome colors, so you can wear it with a wide variety of outfits. Do you recall that the original Adidas Yeezy Slide has a unique design that sets it apart from other sneakers? A massive serrated outsole is the main feature of this shoe, which at first glance appears to be aggressive.
Finding original Adidas Yeezy slides is very difficult. Brandsneakertwins has a very large selection of fake Yeezy Slide that are similar to the Adidas Yeezy slides, so you will not have any difficulty finding the original shoes.
