When Kanye West initially unveiled the Adidas Yeezy line at New York Fashion Week FW15, the predominant through-line of the ‘Season 1’ collection – a conceptual array of apparel, accessories and footwear – was the earthy colour palette. Taking Mother Nature as his muse, Ye harmonised neutral shades of blue, brown, black, grey and green in ways that felt current yet timeless, fresh yet familiar. From this moment on, muddy, clayey, forest-like hues became indivisible with the ongoing collaboration and the visionary behind it.
Accordingly, when a new neutral-coloured Adidas Yeezy shoe emerges, it's often greeted with an insane amount of hype. That's certainly the case for Adidas Yeezy Slide ‘flax’, a rich brown take on the sought-after slip-on, scheduled to drop early next week. (On Monday 22 August, to be precise). The shoe has already been sold hundreds of times on StockX at prices way above the RRP of £60, proving that sneakerheads and fashion fiends are yet to grow fatigued of the classic Yeezy look – and perhaps never will.
Aside from the colour – a hue manifestly inspired by the seeds of its namesake – the Adidas Yeezy Slide ‘flax’ is identical to its predecessors, including the beloved Adidas Yeezy Slide ‘onyx’. Constructed from EVA Foam, the minimalist one-piece sandal-cum-sneaker silhouette is comfortable, durable and wipeable.
