Kayne West's Yeezy line is expanding its collection with two new color iterations of its cult-favourite Yeezy Slide. This shoe became an instant classic for its minimalist aesthetic, which appeals to streetwear aficionados and those looking for a simple shoe to add to their wardrobe's rotation.
In addition to the already existing 'Resin' and 'Bone' colorways, this drop includes two new colors that have been dubbed Earth Brown and Desert Sand. The subtle color additions should appeal to the minimalist as they can be seamlessly paired with any outfit. While the shoes are available for a higher price point, the comfort they provide makes them a good investment, as the shoes are equipped with EVA foam that offers lightweight durability.
