The new slide boasts a chunky brick-printed sole with "ACP" branding and text that reads "THIS IS NOT YOUR USUAL SH*TTY SLIDE." The upper strap is made from nubuck, nylon, mesh, and rubber, and features a flame print across the top. The slide arrives in nine unique colorways, including fuchsia/green, red/blue, brown/pink, and more.
