For the Experimentalist: Slam Jam x 1017 ALYX 9SM
If you want to make an eruption in your wardrobe, look no further. Inspired by the volcano phenomenon, Slam Jam have teamed up with subversive brand ALYX for an exclusive limited edition SS22 capsule collection. The collection features the distinctive ALYX buckle in the form of a necklace, a burnt orange short sleeve t-shirt that reworks the ALYX logo and the star of the show – the iconic ALYX mono slip. Consisting of a singular piece of EVA foam, this shoe is the epitome of comfort and style. Whilst one colourway resembles volcanic earth colours through its black and brown tones, the other boasts burgundy and black to recall the colours of dried out lava.
