Big W is selling $8 ‘dupes’ of the Yeezy slides

Australian retailer Big W is selling an $8 pair of slides that have been described by fashionistas as a ‘dupe’ of the original Yeezy shoes.

Sydney TikToker Chelsea first spotted the budget buy in stores and shared an Instagram video encouraging followers to buy a pair. 

‘If you love a high-ticket item you bet I’ll track down a dupe version of it and today Big W has the Yeezy slides for $8 in four colour ways!’ she captioned the post.

‘Better run for these ones before they sell out!’

While the Yeezy slides, which were originally designed by Kanye West, aren’t available in Australia, Adidas sell a near-identical version for $350. 

But the affordable Big W ‘Wave Zone’ women’s slides are perfect for those on a budget. 

The ‘no fuss’ moulded design is ideal for summer and features textures soles to make it easy to slip the shoes on and off. 

The product is available in store and online in brown, black, khaki and grey. 

At first glance, there seem to be few design differences between the two shoes besides a variation in the shoe’s sole.  

It’s likely the more expensive shoe would feel more comfortable to wear compared to the cheaper version.

But regardless of this, many said they need the pair from Big W ‘immediately’. 

One person commented: ‘These are insanely cheap and they look heaps better than the Cotton On ones! brb (be right back) running to Big W!’ 

Another added: ‘I want these!’

Last month Chelsea stumbled across another ‘dupe’ of a popular pair of $200 sandals while browsing the aisles of Target. 

She found the the Maia Double Band slides that look near-identical to the Alias Mae Paris sandals. 

At the store Chelsea recorded her excitement and shared footage of the budget shoes in a TikTok video seen by thousands. 

‘I found the best dupes for the the Alias Mae sandals,’ she wrote in the video.

In the comments Chelsea confirmed she bought the Target shoes which are ‘surprisingly comfortable’. 

According to the product description, the sandals are made from soft faux leather and lightly cushioned innersole for comfort.

Both shoes are also available online in sizes five to 10, but the Target sandals would be idea for those on a budget (pictured: model wearing Alias Mae sandals)
