Thought you could make it through summer without donning a single fanny pack? Nike thinks they can make you think again.
Nike seems to know something we didn’t – until now. Apparently, what’s missing from your current beach look is the ability to keep life’s little essentials in a pouch on your shoe. Not only that but one that resembles the neon fanny packs that dominated movies in the 1980s, beaches in the 1990s, and malls across America today. Who are we to argue with such bold logic?

Nike has reinvented its Benassi slides with the addition of said pouch – one for each slip on – as well as new pink and green colour palettes that make them visible from space.
With a textured, molded footbed that’s going to be heavy after summers spent hopping and puffing across the hot sand, each sandal features a zippered pouch set within the foot strap, ideal for cards and loose cash, in the (apparently) natural evolution to thongs with bottle openers in the soles.
