A Nike spokesperson confirmed for Yahoo Lifestyle that the slides are indeed launching but could not yet share additional details.
And while you might think we’d be used to weird hybrid items by now — like the Helmut Lang leather bra bag, the Vetements “Lighter Heels,” or the Maison Margiela Glam Slam bag that resembles a quilt pillow — there’s still always the initial reaction or tweet that questions whether or not these major companies have run out of ideas and are simply playing with their customers.

At least the zippered-pouch feature on this latest creation serves a purpose that may, for some, transcend aesthetics. Plus, as the utilitarian trend (the more pockets the better) is one to be watching this summer, these Nike slides are sure to give it an athleisure twist. And we’re oddly here for it.
So now we just have to wait until they drop. According to Hypebeast, the slides will “hit retailers soon,” and we hope it’ s sooner rather than later — before we change our minds.
