Futuristic Perforated Grey Slides

The New Nike x 1017 ALYX 9SM's MMW 005 Slides are Futuristic

— January 1, 2023 — Fashion
You can skip 2023 and go straight to the future with the new Nike x 1017 ALYX 9SM's MMW 005 Slides.

Nike is known for creating some of the most comfortable and eye-catching slides and its newest release is no exception. The new MMW 005 Slides were created in collaboration with 1017 ALYX 9SM, which features designs by Matthew Williams. Together, the two brands created a futuristic slide in a monochromatic light grey hue. Perforated holes characterize the upper of the shoe, while a sleek metallic silver plate sits between the upper and white sole to bring the design together and provide extra stability.

The new Nike x 1017 ALYX 9SM's MMW 005 Slides are not yet available to shop, but more information is set to drop soon.
