Andrew Rizzo The artist formerly known as Kanye West is back in the headlines with new Yeezy Slides. Ye’s independent label YZY just took a big step toward becoming the full-fledged fashion, design, and media brand it aspires to be, dropping a massive new collection backed by improved logistics. Our eyes, and we assume many of yours, go straight to the all-new YS-02 Slide, a sleeker, more streamlined take on the ubiquitous slip-on silhouette the rap mogul has become known for. Tap HERE to purchase.
While the YS-01 Slide features a jagged ripple sole, the YS-02 skews more minimal, opting instead for a flat bottom with herringbone traction. The launch colorway comes in all-black, though we suspect other tonal looks aren’t far behind. The goal, as is generally the case with the modern YZY brand, isn’t to reinvent the wheel, but to offer a solid everyday essential at a reasonable price.
Second to the footwear itself is the promise of expedited shipping. While past YZY drops have left buyers waiting by the mailbox longer than anticipated, the brand has confirmed that the YS-02 ships within three to five business days.
The YS-02 Slide is available now via the YZY website for $50. Interested buyers can pay by credit card, Apple Pay, PayPal, or cryptocurrency, including YZY MONEY.
