"Light Grey" Outfits the Nike MMW 005 Slide
The hole-covered clog is returning in 2023.
In June, Matthew M Williams took the slip-on trend in a new direction with the reveal of his next Nike project. Continuing his series of experimental footwear offerings with the Swoosh, the hole-covered Nike MMW 005 Slide surfaced. Previously launching in “Light Bone” and triple black — with a “Volt/Black” pair to come — the unique clog has now been prepared in “Light Grey” for 2023.
Joining the slip-on movement earlier this year, Williams’ knack for boundary-pushing design provided another contender in the market of premium laceless footwear. Its perforated upper may trigger trypophobia with its clusters of holes throughout the shoe. Tonal co-branding arrives front and center with a Swoosh joined by “MMW” text while larger openings in the foam shell can be spotted just above the lateral’s midsole. A dual-foam outsole is backed by a metallic silver stability plate that shines between the “Light Grey” upper and white sole. A special collaborative dustbag for pairs has been prepared as well.
Currently, Nike has yet to share any release information for the upcoming MMW 005 Slide “Light Grey.” Expect it to hit shelves early next year via Nike, 1017 ALYX 9SM and select retailers worldwide at a price of $190 USD.
In other footwear news, the Nike Shox TL will be stepping into 2023 in black and white colorways that emphasize its unique shape.
