Japanese label atmos worked alongside The North Face on its latest collaboration to rework the classic Basecamp Slide 2. The two labels created brand-new colorways for the summer-ready footwear piece. There are three new colorways in total -- a blue-toned camouflage strap with a white base, a monochromatic camouflage strap with a gray base, or a classic green camouflage design with a black base.
The new collaborative Basecamp Slide sandals bring together a TPU strap with a 3D-crafted footbed on top of an EVA midsole. Additionally, there is air mesh lining to trap less moisture, which will be especially practical in the warm weather. The atmos x The North Face sandals will be dropping April 21st at atmos store locations, online, and at Sports Lab by atmos.
