Fendi has released cloud-inspired rubber slides called the Fendi Cloud Slides for the upcoming warm summer season. The slides are inspired by the concept of floating clouds and bring a comfort-focused aesthetic to life. The slides are most suitable for poolside wear or the beach as they are an alternative to traditional sandals.
The Fendi Cloud Slides are constructed out of an Italian-made premium rubber material. Consumers can choose from classic black, beige, and orange colorways. The cloud-inspired rubber slides contain the brand's “FF” logo placed all over in a horizontal pattern. The design of the slides is similar to the shape of a bubble as each bump slightly pops out to ensure comfort and to mimic the feeling of a fluffy cloud. The slides are available for $520.
