Summer-ready pool slides are this season's must-have footwear offering and Nike's Benussi Slides, which arrive in a myriad of designs and colors are sure to offer something that suits everyone's unique style. The most recent Benassi slide offering from the sportswear brand features the classic silhouette with an updated "Vachetta Tan/Light Bone" colorway. This particular palette is perfect for any minimalist, or for someone looking to make a more subtle footwear statement.

The strap of the slides arrives in a tan colouring and features the brand's graphic logo printed boldly across the top. The sole of the shoe arrives in a crisp white colouring and promises to offer the wear both comfort and style.
