“The new National uniform”: Fans excited as Kanye West reveals new colorways of YZY SL-01 slippers

Kanye West’s YZY brand has revealed two new colorways of the YZY SL-01 sneakers. The rapper and fashion designer shared an image of three SL-O1 silhouettes—the black previously introduced in early January 2025, and two never-before-seen colorways in light bone and grey, on his Instagram account on January 21, 2025, with a cheeky caption:

“The SL-01 now has a nickname—the Yeezy slides.”

The caption seemingly refers to the bestselling Yeezy slides from his time with Adidas. Fans have reacted positively to the new colorways. @eunowc on Instagram expressed that the SL-01 would become streetwear fashion staples with the comment:

“Yzy slides the new national uniform.”

Netizens stated that they would be getting the new colors as soon as they dropped.

Fans praised Kanye West for his Fashion instincts and unique designs.

Sneakerheads were quick to point out their favorite colors from the mix.

A closer look at the YZY SL-01 sneakers by Kanye West

In true YZY fashion, the footwear silhouette features a minimalist design and a monochromatic color scheme. The sneakers’ clean lines complement the chunky build and enhance the futuristic design.

The shoes are made with lightweight materials with rugged and lugged outsoles to ensure stability and demonstrate style. The low-cut silhouette was introduced in an all-black design on January 14, 2025, and comes with a price tag of $20 on the brand’s website.

Sizes for the popular sneakers range from 2 to 16. Kanye West’s YZY label is known for its low price point, as most items on the fashion brand’s website sell for $20. The release of the SL-01 sneakers comes after the Yeezy pods made appearances in December 2023.

The Yeezy Pods are Kanye West’s first sneaker creations since cutting ties with Adidas. The shoes are shaped like socks and feature rubber pods on the soles. They look like wearable socks and were originally sold for $200 upon their release.

Following the YZY company’s sudden price drop to $20 on February 14, 2024, the Yeezy Pods, like other products from the brand, are sold for $20.
