[Salomon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rx-travel-60) presents its new REELAX series of footwear that highlights performance, as per usual. It includes cozy designs in the form of slip-on Mocs along with the slides as well. These are dubbed the [RX MOC 3.0](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rx-moc-30-1) and the RX SLIDE 3.0. It arrives just in time for the summer season ahead and seamlessly fits right on with its slip-on accessibility.

For the SS23 season, there are two seasonal colorways that drop -- both of which are constructed from a seamless fabric that refrains from scratching, rubbing, or chafing. Additionally, it also sits on top of an oversized EVA midsole unit to provide comfort over long periods of time. The slides are detailed with an all-over floral pattern.
