# All-Black Chunky Slides The adidas YEEZY SLIDE 'Onyx' is Set to Drop on March 7 By Niko Pajkovic | Published 2022-02-04 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yeezy-slide-onyx References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2022/2/adidas-yeezy-slide-onyx-first-look-release-info-hq6448) & [adidas](https://www.adidas.ca/en/yeezy) The highly-anticipated [adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adifom-iiinfinity-mule) YEEZY SLIDE 'Onyx' has officially received a release date: March 7. According to the company, the new version of the slide will launch alongside a 'Pure' colorway restock. The new expansion of the YEEZY SLIDE series sees the brand focusing on new tonal-heavy looks. As a result, the 'Onyx' version of the stylish sandal dons an [all-black colorway](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/offcourt-slides). However, aside from the updated color scheme, the slide's design will remain the same, still boasting a [unique EVA foam slipper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/purechill) and chunky yet lightweight construction. It is safe to assume that -- like YEEZY's other footwear drops -- the adidas YEEZY SLIDE 'Onyx' will sell out fast, allowing it to become a valuable collector's item despite its totally reasonable price tag of $60 USD.
