Tapped In: Fresh Slides Keep Your Fit Drippy
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably seen the new slides from both Friendship CLB and Diamond Supply—two of the hottest brands bringing serious heat this fall.
Diamond Supply: Redefining the Game with Fresh Energy
Let’s kick things off with the new slides that Nicky Diamonds recently unveiled on Instagram. These aren’t your typical slides—Nicky has stepped way outside the box to create something that feels fresh, authentic, and miles away from the sea of Yeezy-inspired lookalikes that have flooded the market. Rather than chase trends, Diamond Supply has created a bold design that’s both stylish and (from what we’ve seen) super comfortable, though we haven’t had a sample in hand just yet.
One of the coolest aspects? The design flows right into the packaging. No detail was overlooked, making these slides feel like a complete package from the moment you unbox them. They’re perfect for anyone tired of the same old slides and ready for something unique.
Friendship CLB: Bold Style with a Story
Now onto the Friendship CLB slides, designed by Chicago’s own Nigel Holt. This isn’t just any brand—Friendship CLB has grown from Nigel’s hard work, grit, and dedication. From the early days of mock-ups and cut-and-sew designs to fully realized products ready for global reach, Nigel’s journey is woven into each pair. Friendship CLB isn’t just a brand—it’s a lifestyle, with supporters around the world in cities like Chicago, Paris, and Tokyo.
These slides embody the global vibe and unique energy that comes from the founder’s travels and connections. They offer a clean, modern design with a heritage feel that makes them instant classics. Friendship CLB’s attention to detail and storytelling is unmatched, blending history and style for a look that feels fresh and timeless.
The Verdict: Which Slides Are For You?
Diamond Supply: If you’re after something bold and entirely new, Diamond Supply’s slides bring a high-quality, fresh look that stands out. Perfect for the trendsetters who want a unique, no-fuss slide.
Friendship CLB: These slides are for those who love a brand with depth and a story. The clean, heritage-inspired design makes them great for expressing personal style and connection to culture.
Both Diamond Supply and Friendship CLB are setting the bar this fall, giving us two options that couldn’t be more different in inspiration but are equally fire. Catch them before they’re gone, because these slides are here to make a statement—and your fit deserves it. Stay fresh, stay drippy.
