While retro trainers still remain a premium product, there seems to be a big shift into a post-sneaker world, with everything from loafers to Crocs becoming formidable forces. Of course, this move can be pinned back to Salehe Bembury and his old boss Kanye West, who have shaped the market’s desires into minimal, mostly one-piece and one-material slip-ons. Jerry Lorenzo and his Fear of God imprint was quick to follow, but now it seems that more are emerging. Jordan Brand is dabbling in a two-piece clog, whilst AMBUSH just revealed a brand-new clog, too. Now, long-time Nike collaborator Matthew M Williams joins the pack by putting his own spin on the category with the Matthew M Williams x Nike 005 Slide
Though it absolutely borrows from the category’s pioneers, the ALYX head has engrained the DNA seen in his past Nike collaborations, like boxy toes and sleek, almost sportscar-like perforations and panels that flow back to a pronounced heel.
After surfacing in its Volt/Black design late last year, official images of a second "Dark Khaki" colorway have emerged, both now confirmed for a Nike.com release on June 9th.
Pairs will retail for $190 each.
