The logic is hard to argue with: at $40 it costs under half what an adidas-era Yeezy Slide fetches on the aftermarket, and with the last of adidas&#8217;s Yeezy inventory now cleared, this is the only way to buy the silhouette new. The unbranded, sculptural minimalism also puts it in the same lane as the Mind 001 further down this list \u2014 quiet, shapeless, and deliberately anonymous.<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6ebe752 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6ebe752\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/novelship.com\/yeezy-yzy-ys-01-black?utm_source=blog&#038;utm_medium=article&#038;utm_content=trending-men-sneakers\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"650\" data-src=\"https:\/\/novelship.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-07-13-095101.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-44742 lazyload\" alt=\"Yeezy YZY YS-01 &#039;Black&#039;\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/novelship.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-07-13-095101.png 1000w, https:\/\/novelship.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-07-13-095101-300x195.png 300w, https:\/\/novelship.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-07-13-095101-768x499.png 768w, https:\/\/novelship.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-07-13-095101-555x360.png 555w, https:\/\/novelship.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot-2026-07-13-095101-360x234.png 360w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/650;\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Shop Yeezy YZY YS-01 'Black' on Novelship!<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-70d897f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"70d897f\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-83e82f6\" data-id=\"83e82f6\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5f61275 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5f61275\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><h2 dir=\"ltr\">2. adidas Samba OG 'White Black Gum'<\/h2><\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b82cd4c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b82cd4c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Key Features:<\/strong> The platonic Samba \u2014 black leather 3-Stripes over a white leather upper, sitting on a gum sole.

The standout detail sits at the heel: <strong>red baseball-seam stitching<\/strong>, replicating the stitching on a ball. A <strong>Wolf Grey<\/strong> Swoosh with white edging breaks up the blue, the white Kobe sheath logo sits on the tongue, and Kobe&#8217;s <strong>8 and 24<\/strong> appear on the inner tongues. Kobe branding on the outsole, his signature on the heel. Style code IO6256-400, $190 retail, released 15 August 2026.<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Why It&#8217;s Trending:<\/strong> The Protro programme has been running for the better part of a decade, and the Dodgers concept is now on its second silhouette. It works because the reference is genuinely personal \u2014 Bryant was given first-pitch honours at Dodger Stadium, and the shirt-to-shoe crossover isn&#8217;t manufactured. Worth knowing: early samples showed Kobe photo insoles, but the retail pair ships with a clean blue insole and Kobe branding instead.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-04c57ab elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"04c57ab\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/novelship.com\/nike-zoom-kobe-5-protro-dodgers-io-6256-400?utm_source=blog&#038;utm_medium=article&#038;utm_content=trending-men-sneakers\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"608\" data-src=\"https:\/\/novelship.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-09-30-144415.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-45476 lazyload\" alt=\"Nike Zoom Kobe 5 Protro &#039;Dodgers&#039; IO6256-400\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/novelship.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-09-30-144415.png 940w, https:\/\/novelship.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-09-30-144415-300x194.png 300w, https:\/\/novelship.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-09-30-144415-768x497.png 768w, https:\/\/novelship.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-09-30-144415-555x360.png 555w, https:\/\/novelship.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-09-30-144415-360x233.png 360w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 940px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 940\/608;\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Shop Nike Zoom Kobe 5 Protro 'Dodgers' on Novelship<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-dd8e7cc elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"dd8e7cc\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f2c37bc\" data-id=\"f2c37bc\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7c50ed8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7c50ed8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">9.
