The shape of the slide is meant to mold with your foot as it is

Above are some examples and indicators you’re trying to look for. Authentic Yeezy Slides should be completely clean and stain or mark free on the shoe itself and the box as well. If you compare the legit shoe’s nub to the replica, you can easily see the precision in the cut. Whereas in the fake shoe, it is not a clean cut, which leaves a messy imprint.

Known for their versatility and the ability to complement any outfit, Yeezy Slides have established a distinctive niche in the fashion industry, blending sport, style, and culture seamlessly. It’s not very often and I only really notice it when I’m wearing this shoe barefoot, but that’s just something to keep in mind. The one part of the Yeezy Slides that some people might find not comfortable or less comfortable than the rest of this shoe is the midfoot strap or the midfoot cover. Even though I don’t wear slides that often, I don’t think I’ve ever paid more than $30 for a pair because I grabbed some of my pairs at the outlets. Unfortunately, because it’s a Yeezy shoe and this has become one of the most popular Yeezy shoes, it’s almost impossible to grab a pair for retail. Personally, I love weird-looking footwear especially when it’s minimalistic and almost monolithic.

The black slides go with almost any outfit, and they are made not to really stick out. The shape of the slide is meant to mold with your foot as it is, so the black is meant to almost disguise the fact that you are wearing the slides at all. First revealed in February 2022 at the Donda 2 listening event in Miami, the Adidas Yeezy Slide Onyx features an all-black foam construction with a soft footbed for comfort. At the base, a grooved outsole adds stability and responsiveness.

This is definitely a shoe that I will be keeping in my collection and definitely a shoe that I’m going to have to grab a lot more colorways of. The reason for that is because this part of the shoe is very thick and very wide and so it doesn’t allow your foot to move as much as I think some people might want your foot to be able to move. Once you step into this shoe and feel the squishiness under your foot, you’re going to love it.

Although Mr. West has previewed dozens of hands-free, laceless footwear since joining the Three Stripes in 2013, very few have seen a retail release. The shoes feature just two components – an inflexible, modlded upper and a serrated sole – but have been designed to resemble a one-piece shoe, similar to the Yeezy Foam Runner. Their ultra-minimal, less-conventional aesthetic has led countless spectators to criticize the Yeezys, but the slides have immediately sold out every time they’ve released. A minimalist shoe that’s as versatile as it is modern, the Yeezy Slide Onyx is crafted from a uniquely designed EVA foam. The shoe features meticulously placed grooves that support your foot in all the right places, while a serrated sole ensures grip wherever you decide to wear them. Staying true to Kanye West’s style, branding is kept to a minimum, with a simple adidas Three-Stripe logo stamped on the inside for good measure.

I would definitely size up to the next full size especially if you have wider feet. I would say stick with your true to size or maybe potentially go with size up. This is the one that I thought would fit, but of course, trying it on, it’s definitely a little too small as well. Trying out the Bone colorway in a size 10, these do fit basically the same as the Onyx.
