Nike Continues to Offer Summer Footwear with the Asuna Slide

— April 22, 2020 — Fashion
Nike Sportswear prepares for the summer season in a variety of ways, including the recent launch of the new Asuna Slide sandals. The silhouette will contribute to the brand's sandal roster, joining signature models such as the Air Max 90 Slide, the Canyon sandal, the Benassi, and more.

The Asuna is offered in three new colorways at its debut this year, with the options of either Triple Black, University Red, or Black and White. The main component that makes the Asuna slide stand out is the strap, which boasts a ridged texture due to the molded construction. It is also accompanied by a dual-layer design with a notable toggle lacing system in an asymmetrical manner for custom fitted comfort.
