Summer-Ready Statement Slides

Nike's New City Slides Come in Bold Black and Red Colorways

With summer just around the corner, Nike has debuted new City Slides in two bold hues.

Though Nike is known for its sneakers, the brand also offers some great options when it comes to sandals. The new City Slides are a pair of statement slides that are both stylish and comfy. The new sandals feature foam cushioning on the sole for maximum comfort, and a rugged outsole that improves traction and prevents you from slipping. The upper is made from a soft mesh with a quilted overlay design and sports lacing detail that can be adjusted for the perfect fit. Best of all, the City Slides come in two striking colorways: 'Black' and 'University Red.'
