Preview Of Yeezy Season 6 Sneaker Shows Embrace Of Chunky Sneaker Trend

June 2, 2017. Leave a Comment

Kanye West barber Ibn Jasper has posted preview images of a Yeezy sneaker from the Season 6 collection. Flying in the face of the high-tech, sleek look of Yeezy Boost sneakers, social media has been full of jokes roasting the shoe for its chunky and orthopedic appearance.

At the same time, the shoe has been compared to inspired by Balenciaga‘s Triple-S, as well as Adidas by Raf Simons Ozweego.

While the shoe is being described as part of Season 6, a prototype of the shoe was first shown on the Yeezy Season 5 runway presentation during New York Fashion Week in February.

West has also been spotted out and about in a version of the shoe as well. If Season 6 is shown on a runway, it would be a part of spring 2018 presentations, held in September 2017.

As for the chunky trend, it’s an interesting dynamic. While on the one hand the masses have stepped back from shoes featuring heavier uppers, a trend that’s had a negative impact on Nike‘s basketball sales, the tip-of-the pyramid customer is showing a renewed interest in the trend.

Hand in hand with the chunky sneaker trend, one has to assume denim cuts will move away from the tapered jogger silhouette to one that has a more open ankle, creating a more balanced leg silhouette.

The GOAT Serena Williams says farewell to her care The GOAT Serena Williams says farewell to her career as a professional tennis player in the September issue of American Vogue.

In the cover story, which is a must read, Williams shares some thoughts on her evolution away from tennis and says,"Believe me, I never wanted to have to choose between tennis and a family. I don’t think it’s fair. If I were a guy, I wouldn’t be writing this because I’d be out there playing and winning while my wife was doing the physical labor of expanding our family. Maybe I’d be more of a Tom Brady if I had that opportunity. Don’t get me wrong: I love being a woman, and I loved every second of being pregnant with Olympia. I was one of those annoying women who adored being pregnant and was working until the day I had to report to the hospital—although things got super complicated on the other side. And I almost did do the impossible: A lot of people don’t realize that I was two months pregnant when I won the Australian Open in 2017."

The cover editorial was styled by Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, who in 2020 became the first black woman to style a U.S. Vogue cover.

This cover was also one of the last projects hairstylist #LatishaChong worked on before  she sadly passed away in July this year.

Make-up by Raisa Flowers, nails by Dawn Sterling, and photography by Luis Alberto Rodriguez.

After The Cut published a story titled "Our Condolences To The Birkin" the internet got into their feelings.

Eschewing a classust view on fashion, in another exchange, he said, "What I wanted to make wasn’t clothes that were only for people with money. It was things like jeans and t-shirts, things that were familiar to lots of people, easy to wash and easy to use."
