Throughout recent weeks, Nike has been at the top of the laceless footwear game. Beyond the typical releases from the Swoosh, it’s found success with the Calm Slide as a go-to and has since revealed that it has additional iterations of the silhouette on the way. On top of the Slide, flip-flop and mule styles of the Calm family have been revealed.

Now, after officially launching the silhouette this year, the Calm Slide has appeared in a new “Rugged Orange” arrangement that was previously spotted on the new Air Force 1 Wild. Again, a monochromatic makeover has touched down on the slide with an autumnal orange hue reaching from the toe to the heel. Typical debossed branding appears courtesy of Swooshes at the upper, footbed and outsole as the design continues to make appearances in new flavors.

With the Nike Calm Slide having just made its debut, this “Rugged Orange” colorway is expected to land in the next batch of releases for the slip-on silhouette. Nike has yet to disclose a release window, however, it’s likely to arrive in the coming months via the Swoosh and select retailers at a price of $50 USD.
