Crocs may have risen in popularity, successfully managing to eclipse their unflattering and atrocious aesthetic, but there are still some holdouts that have not given in to the ugliest of ugly shoes, no matter how comfortable they are.

If you’ve managed to resist the siren song of one of the most unbecoming yet popular shoes around, today you’ve been rewarded with a new release that aims to match the comfort of Crocs, without eliciting sartorial shame every time you step out of the house.

Two pairs of black slip-on shoes with a textured grid pattern, one pair featuring a black and white marbled design, on a brown surface. — The Tenōre x Lusso Scenario Slide bridges the gap between style and comfort.

Walking on a cloud

was inspired by a luxury hotel slipper worn by Justin Bieber‘s habit of wearing luxury hotel slippers in public (and has been worn by celebrities such as Oprah and Leonardo DiCaprio since.)

Today, Lusso Cloud released its first collaboration with Tenōre (the eponymous brand founded by Pat Tenore, who founded Rvca 25 years ago) to release a new take on its popular slide, the Tenōre X Lusso Scenario Slide.

Adventure-ready comfort

The collaboration sees the breathable, lightweight Scenario slide wrapped in a “Swirl Camo” effect, with Tenōre branding at sides and upper.

Pair of black and camouflage sandals with textured soles, one labeled "TENŌRE" and the other "HIGHEST. — The slides feature Tenōre branding on the sides and upper.

There’s also an all-black version, for the more aesthetically conservative customer, also features the same Tenōre branding.

The Tenōre X Lusso Scenario Slide is designed to take on streetstyle with ease, but the slide is also water friendly thanks to its ability to absorb moisture efficiently, dry quickly and resist sand.

Comfort is prioritized, thanks to molded arch support, a textured interior to prevent blisters and an ex-groove outsole, which features a unique tread pattern for traction on wet surfaces.
