It’s been two years since Ye first showed off a collaboration between Yeezy and New York Knicks player Derrick Rose. Despite little demand for the joint silhouette, it seems the two have continued to refine their project. The slip-on shoes, known only as the “YZY Rose,” were spotted on Rose himself as he walked through Madison Square Garden prior to a Knicks game Wednesday night.
Rose’s off-court look marks a rare appearance for the shoes. Kanye and Rose have sporadically teased prototypes of the YZY Rose online — with the basketball player’s wife Alaina serving as a key model for the ribbed shoes — but no one’s been able to tell how the clogs actually respond to movement until now. Their build, similar to that of the Yeezy Foam Runner, seems ideal for comfort — but not necessarily a fast-paced basketball game, which is what Ye and Rose designed the shoes for.
