Cool-Down Is Just as Important as the Warm-Up

There’s so much to be said about post-game care — how do athletes relax after an exhausting workout or a head-to-head game? The cool-down period is just as important as the warm-up, and with the perfect pair of sandals, any athlete can power down and take a load off.

Athletic brands pride themselves in curating the ideal slide for any hardworking athlete looking for comfort but also protection. Big-name brands like Nike, Champion, adidas, Jordan, FILA, and Under Armour have even modeled some of the most innovative slides after their best-selling sneakers.

Sneakers Transformed into Slides

Jordan and Nike have transformed some of their most popular sneakers into must-have slides. Shoes like the Air Jordan 11 have been used as the model for the super dynamic Jordan Retro 11 Hydro slide. With its plush footbed and adjustable midfoot strap, this slide is essential for any Air Jordan lover. The Retro 11 Hydro maintains the same AJ 11 silhouette and design that demands attention.

The Nike Air Max Camden Slide takes after the original Nike Air Max Invigor model. The slide contains the same powerful Max Air unit that guarantees all-day support and outsole grooves that make sure your foot doesn’t slip. An athlete can easily step into these slides after taking off a pair of their game shoes and not miss a moment with that soft, cushiony feel.

Comfort Maintains Performance

Slides have become the ultimate multipurpose shoe — they’re much more than easy, casual footwear. With a shoe like the Champion IPO Slide, the possibilities are endless. This slide will last long, making it a classic, post-workout essential that can be slipped on without hassle. The IPO Slide contains a polyurethane upper that secures the foot while remaining tough and sturdy. It also has an EVA midsole that softens each step and protects an already-tired foot from further discomfort.

Under Armour has entered the slide game with its innovative Ignite V Slide. This soft, slip-on shoe contains EVA technology that offers a comforting outer sole and shock absorption. Every athlete needs extra padding, especially after making fierce jumps on the court or sprinting around the track, and these slides don’t disappoint.
