Introducing the Slawn “Shapes” Slide, the latest venture by renowned Nigerian artist Olaolu Slawn. Known for his boundary-pushing artistry and collaborations with cultural icons like SZA, Beyoncé, and A$AP Rocky, Slawn brings his unique art to the world of slides. Set to launch on October 22nd, these exclusive sliders will be available in multiple colourways through the artist’s website, priced at £69.99 for a single pair or £110 for two.
Crafted in collaboration with Shape Shoes, a specialist footwear team, the sliders feature Slawn’s signature caricature-inspired designs, with a distinct facial motif that forms the shoe’s structure. These closed-toe sliders stand out for their bold tagline, “Fuck Crusty Toes,” blending style and comfort through innovative rubber material and a meticulously designed tread that leaves an artistic footprint.
At just 23, Slawn’s meteoric rise across art, fashion, and design is evident. From being the youngest artist to design the Brit Award in 2023 to co-founding Lagos streetwear brand Motherlan, his influence is undeniable. This collection marks another chapter in Slawn’s multifaceted career, cementing his status as a true creative force.
