The new iteration, which is primarily dominated by a bold shade of orange, features the silhouette's iconic debossed Swooshes, ridged footbed and outsole, and a smooth-grained texture on its exterior. The slide spotlights a Nike Swoosh across the upper and on the insole, providing a minimalistic touch to the otherwise plain shoe. The Calm Slide has already debuted in 'Black,' 'Sail,' 'Sesame,' '[Jade](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyber-jade) Ice,' and 'Geode Teal,' making 'Orange' the seventh iteration of the recently launched design. Each colorway is priced at $50 USD and can be found on the Nike website and at select retailers.
