Billed as “Grey Flatform Slippers,” these YEEZY Season slides seem to have suddenly appeared at retailer Browns Fashion. Despite never appearing in any YEEZY Season communications or runway presentations, the slides have appeared out of the blue, much like these YEEZY Season 6 boots last week. The design features a moulded footbed and forefoot strap, finished with a grey colorway. Most sizes have sold out, but watch for these to arrive at additional YEEZY stockists in the coming days.

These grey YEEZY flatform slippers feature a wide strap with fabric hook and loop fasteners, an open toe, and a moulded footbed. Now, apparently, according to some scientists who really should have more pressing concerns, women look their oldest at 3.30pm on Wednesdays. This is alarming because today is Wednesday. We suspect the only cure for it is to offset ageing with the undeniable youthful effect of these YEEZY shoes. (Browns Fashion)
Kanye always had the idea of creating a clothing line, and decided to put the dream into formation in 2011. During the Spring 2012 Paris Fashion Week, Mr. West had the opportunity to debut his creations (simply called “Kanye West Season 1”) in front of the fashion world. It did not go as planned, and received generally negative reviews. The New York Times wrote that “His debut landed him a place somewhere in the middle: not quite a disaster, but not the work of a serious designer, either.” Unsurprisingly Kanye never gave up and his line, which was in fact changed to Yeezy Season in 2015, is now on Season 7. The line has now received endless praise from critics and is internationally renowned for its professionalism, originality, quality, and magnificent presentation. (SOHH)
Prior to signing a $10 million dollar sneaker contract with Adidas, Kanye was signed with Nike. With them, he created the holy grail of sneakerheads, the Nike Air Yeezys which are now worth $3,000+ USD. West eventually became unhappy with Nike’s treatment of him and left the company in 2013. Yeezy Season 3 debuted in 2016 at the famous Madison Square Garden in New York City. Here, fans began to chant “F*** Nike”, and Kanye soon after began to diss them himself. He performed the song Facts, where he refers to Nike “giving LeBron a billi’ not to run away”. Nike and its representatives have never responded to the song and have refused to make any comments about it or anything even related to Yeezy. Hilariously enough, West once told a fan wearing Nikes to “throw those in the trash right now.” (SOHH)
