The Nike Clogposite sneaker model made its first appearance in the early 2000s and it is a silhouette that falls between a sneaker and a slip-on. It is a blend between the Flightposite and the Foamposite models as it was meant to be more of a pair of comfortable slides worn between basketball games -- the other silhouettes were geared to the sport.
The shoes embody a futuristic silhouette with their sleek design, whilst also referencing retro tinges as well for a juxtaposing model. It comes in various colorways but is highlighted by a silver option detailed with grooves along the entire silhouette. For a tonal contrast, it is complete with black accents to round it out.
