adidas unveils another tonal iteration of the YEEZY slide silhouette for the season with the launch of the Flax colorway to join its roster. As per usual, the shoe is designed in a single hue and prepared for the fall season with a rich brown color. It rests on top of the EVA foam injected design and embodies a lightweight feel to the silhouette without compromising the durability of the design.
It has a rigid outsole base foundation and is built in a one-piece rounded out by the slight groove details by the midsole sections. There is branding in the form of the Three Stripes branding at the footbed section for a minimal design language throughout.
