Minimalist Slide Shoes

Raf Simons Unveiled two Special Edition Astra Slide Shoes

— May 26, 2022 — Fashion
Raf Simons unveiled two special editions of the adidas Astra Slide shoes, titled the Raf Simons Astra Slides. These slides are available in two colorways; black on black and red on black. The black-on-black colorway is entirely black with the exception of the 'Raf Simons' name on the side of the shoe appearing in red, while the red-on-black colorway covers the entire footstrap in a bright, vibrant red.

On the front of the footstrap there is a hanging "R" logo that is intended to symbolize the Raf Simons name. The shoe is minimalist in its entirety with only two visible accents, making it perfect for individuals who want a comfortable slide shoe without unnecessary flare. The Raf Simons Astra Slides retail for $135 USD and are available at Machine-A's online store.
