Yeezy Slides, launched by Kanye West’s Yeezy brand in collaboration with Adidas, became an instant internet sensation due to their unconventional, chunky, and minimalist aesthetic. Critics frequently compare the footwear to prison slippers, LEGO bricks, or even pieces of bread, while enthusiasts praise their comfort and brutalist design language. The meme culture surrounding Yeezy Slides typically centers on the irony of paying high retail and resale prices for what is essentially a single piece of molded EVA foam. These memes are popular in streetwear circles to highlight the absurdity of hypebeast culture and the polarizing nature of modern luxury fashion.
