YEEZY IS BACK

This decision is particularly noteworthy, considering the adidas Yeezy Slides were among the best-selling models ever produced under the adidas Yeezy line. However, with that partnership now over, Kanye West is determined to reclaim the globally recognized Yeezy name. Earlier this year, West accused adidas of “design theft and oppression,” prompting the brand to remove all mentions of Kanye and Yeezy products from its online platforms.  

West clarified that the official name of the slip-on shoe is the YZY SL-01, though many still refer to them by their more familiar brand name. Since Kanye owns the Yeezy trademark, it’s possible he plans to fully transition the YZY brand name to its former glory.  

Most recently, Ye unveiled new colorways of the YZY SL-01—also known as the Yeezy Slides—in light bone and grey tones.
