What is the inspiration behind the design?
The design is inspired by topographical maps of Mars, featuring undulating lines and a futuristic aesthetic.

What does the 'Grey Five' color refer to?

Troubleshooting
Slides feel too tight or narrow.
The Adilette 22 Slides are designed for a snug fit. If they feel too tight, ensure you have the correct size. Some users find they stretch slightly with wear. Consider trying a half-size up if you have wider feet or prefer a looser fit.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
While designed for traction, the outsole may perform differently on very wet or polished surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean and free of debris. For increased grip on specific surfaces, consider adding sole grips if needed.
Material feels stiff initially.
The bio-based EVA material may feel a bit firm when first worn. Wear them for short periods around the house to break them in. The footbed will contour to your foot with use, improving comfort over time.
Slight color variation from expected.
Color representation can vary based on screen settings and lighting. The 'Grey Five' color is a specific shade of grey with potential subtle undertones. Refer to official product images for the most accurate representation.
