Yeezy, a collaboration between rapper Kanye West’s unique vision and Adidas’s advanced technology, debuted in 2015 and quickly revolutionized the sneaker industry. The Yeezy line is renowned for its innovative designs, limited releases, and cultural impact. And, surprisingly enough, Kanye hit all the checks with the Yeezy slides. It was the best loungewear buddy, the sneaker to get you out of the door in no time, and more.

Take a look at the spacing between the letter „L“, „I“ and „D“. On the authentic box label, you can see that the spacing between each letter is equal. However if you take a look at the replica, you can see that the space between „I“ and „D“ is much greater than between „L“ and „I“. Replica boxes for the Yeezy Slides usually have inconsistencies with font thickness, spacing, and sloppiness.

Adidas has made strides toward sustainability, though Yeezy Slides’ specific eco-friendly attributes are limited.
