Slides have always been part of the summer uniform, but their popularity has certainly increased following the “mulement” that escalated last year. Heatwave or not, consumers are looking to bear it all — foot-wise at least — in the open-toed, backless footwear. Trendy options include the Adidas Adilette and Yeezy Slide, both of which have been praised for their comfort and style.
Asics, however, is looking to reupholster the slide with a more supportive build for athletes. The running-focused brand debuted its latest slip-on sandal, dubbed the Actibreeze 3D, which features a breathable 3D-printed honeycomb construction. The initial offering boasts a thick sole and rounded edges, similar to Yeezy’s own slide, and comes dressed in all black.
