Indonesian artist Alfaz Syam and lifestyle brand Thinking Different have released a collaborative slide collection that includes a pair of 90s-style keyboard slides. Alfaz Syam, also known as skatesuckers, creates fashion items inspired by sustainable keyboard designs made from discarded electronics. The keyboard slides are made to be worn as summer-season footwear.
The keyboard slides are called the CMFRT KEYS slides, and "CMFRT" likely refers to comfort. The keyboard slides are made in cream and green colorways, which are inspired by Apple's M0110 and Platinum keyboards. The keyboard slides contain a rubberized material and feature various alphabetical letters and numerals across the straps. Additionally, the keyboard slides have padded footbeds with Thinking Different's bunny logo. The CMFRT KEYS slides will be available on March 17.
