Aero Slide was born from a concept of research around the fundamentals of recovery for the feet, exploring how printed and conventional materials are harmonized in an ultra lightweight, comfortable, future facing packing. An all in one midsole/outsole base incorporates tune-able lattice for customized underfoot cushioning, and a parametrically integrated outsole designed for flex and durability. Paired with plenty of optionality from printed upper bands to dual layer synthetic and sandwich mesh options and even the ability to swap silhouette top-lines from a simple slide to a mule, Aero Slide forms the foundation of a breathable and cozy modularity
BEHIND THE DESIGN
DETAILS
Footbed Sculpting
Ergonomically contoured to cradle the foot, the printed footbed offers anatomical support that adapts with every step.
Midsole Cushioning
A single printed midsole unit integrates tunable lattice zones, delivering responsive, targeted cushioning where it’s needed most.
Piston Outsole
The parametrically designed outsole features micro-piston structures for flexible movement and durable ground contact.
“The Aero Slide pushed us to explore the full range of what Interplay could enable—from parametrically tuning cushion zones to testing modular components in real time. It became a way to understand how designers think across comfort, performance, and customization—not just how they sketch.”
