Summer is coming to a close, but that shouldn't stop consumers from enjoying every last minute of the warmer weather, and Nike's Kawa slides are hoping they can do so in style.
The practical shoes feature a classic slide silhouette, making for a shoe that can be easily thrown on. The understated colorway makes for a look that's both subtle and elegant, giving consumers the opportunity to piece together a more casual look. Some iterations of this shoe already exist on the market, but this new release is offering both a black and white and a pastel pink iteration.
The shoes are currently retailing online for $26 USD at various stores and online.
