Nike’s Chonky Slip-Ons Are Flyknit Pillows for Feet, Basically
Nike's Flyknit Haven shoe is like walking on clouds — or at least, looking like it.
With bubbly uppers and futuristic feels, Nike's Flyknit Haven sneaker brings a fresh breath of puffed-up air to Nike's offerings. Let's cut to the chase: Nike slip-on reimagines the fan-favorite Flyknit material as a pillowy blanket for the feet.
Ultimately, the Nike Havens emerges with fully padded uppers, skipping laces and opting for a single bungee rope pull tab for a secure fit.
Nike's Flyknit Haven shoe debuted earlier this year as part of a renewed Flyknit footwear offering. The spongey sneaker moc was first available in two colorways, and Nike has since expanded its puffy choices in a variety of excellent schemes.
The collection also included the Air Max Flyknit Venture and the Flyknit Bloom, and you can easily see the bubble inspirations shared between the sister styles. Like its siblings, Nike's Haven slip-on is grounded by a chunky sole with even more cloud-like technology.
The Nike Flyknit Haven shoe joins the ever-growing list of impressively great slip-on shoes and clogs with chunked-up upgrades. Outdoor stalwart KEEN recently released a wildly stylish new mule with a thick, high-traction outsole, while adidas is fresh off the reveal of its all-new Seeulater mule, a stocky slip-on version of its classic trail sneaker by the same name.
Although not newbies, Nike has given second lives to its underrated beefy mules, like the ACG Rufus and Nike Clogposite shoes. The Flyknit Haven, on the other hand, is making quiet moves as the new effortless kid on the block.
Brands like Crocs and Birkenstock have been tapping into the easy-on market for years, but Nike is swiftly inching in with its own takes, cozy Haven shoes included.
