Yeezy BSKTBL Knit Slate Onyx

Ye's foray into basketball shoes hasn't been without its fair share of controversy, but that hasn't deterred the creative powerhouse from continuing to put out court-inspired sneakers. When his original basketball-inspired design didn't quite stack up to NBA standards thanks to its reflective look, Ye turned his attention to the Yeezy BSKTBL Knit, a sneaker that prioritised the design elements over any practical sports-ready features, but one that's still perfect for lifestyle wear.

As the name suggests, the Yeezy BSKTBL KNT "Slate Onyx" arrives in a tonal grey and black knit, with a weave pattern similar to that seen on the Yeezy Boost 350 CMPCT. The sock-like sneaker then extends above the ankle, where a ribbed knit provides a secure fit. Ye then brings back the reflective elements that originally got him into trouble by adding a reflective heel cup, and silver woven details at the forefoot look like they could provide a hint of 3M. This all sits atop a comfy adidas Boost sole unit for added cushioning and bounce.
