Kanye West’s New Yeezy SLPR Slipper is Available For Pre-Order

Whenever Kanye West, who now goes by Ye, has a new album on the way, he typically hits social media with rants and promotion of new merch. Ye began posting about Bully, his upcoming album, again on his Instagram, promoted his new clothing drop, and updated the Yeezy website. In typical fashion, he ranted about his former partner in footwear, adidas, upset that his new Yeezy website was not being promoted above the German sportswear brand’s website even with the partnership being over for two years.

All these eyes of Ye have led him to drop his second-ever independent footwear release since leaving adidas — the Yeezy SLPR. Soon after this teaser of a single all-black colorway, Ye posted an image featuring a Cream and Grey rendition of the SL-01 SLPR.

On the site, the SLPR, a Yeezy-fication of the word slipper, is decidedly different from his first independent release, the Yeezy Pod sock shoe. Unlike the predecessor, this new model takes on a low-cut design that appears to be a one-piece EVA injection molded slipper, indicated by the small circular cutout near the toe of the outsole. Famously, Ye helped popularize this footwear design with the adidas Yeezy Slide and adidas Yeezy Foam RNNR.
