Kanye West is back, and this time, he’s stepping into the future—literally. After parting ways with Adidas, Ye is reclaiming his Yeezy legacy with the release of the YZY SL-01, the first silhouette under his independent YZY brand. And yes, these slippers are turning heads with their sleek design, futuristic aesthetic, and, of course, their bold nickname: the Yeezy Slides.

Here’s everything you need to know about the YZY SL-01 and the new colourways Ye just teased.

The Comeback of the Yeezy Slide

The name "Yeezy Slides" is instantly recognizable—after all, it’s one of Adidas Yeezy’s best-selling models. But with Ye breaking ties with the sportswear giant, the YZY SL-01 (nicknamed Yeezy Slides by none other than Kanye himself) represents a fresh start. Ye has made it clear that he’s ready to reclaim the Yeezy legacy, trademark, and all.

While Adidas has wiped its sites clean of Kanye and Yeezy products after accusations of design theft, Ye isn’t backing down. The YZY SL-01 is his bold statement of independence, bringing the Yeezy Slides back into the spotlight, this time under his complete creative control.

New Colourways to Watch For

The original Black YZY SL-01 made its debut in mid-January, setting the stage for what’s to come. But Ye isn’t stopping there. On Instagram, he recently teased two new colourways:

• Soft Gray

• Light Taupe

Both options stick to the monochromatic design ethos that Yeezy fans know and love. Paired with the futuristic silhouette, these colourways add a minimalist, modern edge to any outfit.

The YZY SL-01 slippers are crafted from lightweight materials, ensuring a snug and comfortable fit. The textured, ridged outsole isn’t just stylish—it’s designed for extra grip and stability, making these slides as practical as they are cool.

A Nod to the Yeezy Legacy

Ye couldn’t resist adding a little humour to his Instagram post, officially dubbing the SL-01 “Yeezy Slides.” The caption was a cheeky nod to the popularity of the original Adidas Yeezy Slides, a model that defined comfort and simplicity for sneakerheads worldwide.

But let’s not forget—Kanye owns the Yeezy trademark. The SL-01 could very well signal a complete rebranding effort, transitioning the YZY brand into its former glory, free from the constraints of any partnership.

Why the YZY SL-01 is a Must-Have

If you’re into bold designs and futuristic vibes, the YZY SL-01 is calling your name. These slippers are more than just footwear—they’re a statement piece. The sleek silhouette, paired with versatile colourways, makes them the perfect addition to your casual wardrobe.

Whether you’re running errands, lounging at home, or stepping out for a quick coffee run, the YZY SL-01 blends style and function effortlessly. And with Kanye’s track record of creating iconic designs, these slides are bound to be a hit among sneakerheads and collectors alike.
