As much as I love basketball, especially the way the Doves have been playing. When you’re a sneakerhead, a first look at a new sneaker can leave more of an impression. Justin Laboy debuted a new Yzy Knit BSKTBL colorway and at first glimpse these look better than the OG.

Featuring the same build as the Slate Blue. This time the 3D knit comes in a grey with hints of azure blue acting as an underlay making up the abstract design in the knit. The extended sockliner and knit over the foot area comes in a tonal black.

The Slate Azure consists of 3m hits throught out the knitting in that same Blue. The 450 style lacing system with conventional black laces completes the upper. All this is mated to a cream midsole and oversized 3M heel cup. The midsole wraps around drop in full length BOOST™ cushioning for ultimate comfort. The Azure Blue outsole features a herringbone traction pattern giving them optimal grip for the court.

Look for these to launch this June for $300 at your usual Yeezy retailers. Let us know on our socials below your thoughts on these. Be sure to keep it locked to Yeezyinfluence to stay up to date on all Yeezy news and launches.
