Look What Nike Did to the Presto

A slip-on version of the shoe is coming.

The laces on the Nike Air Presto were never super functional in the first place, acting more as a nod to traditional footwear fastening than a functional piece of design. And so, on this upcoming version of the shoe, Nike's removed those altogether in favor of a slip-on build.

The new model, which is being called the Air Presto Slip-On for now, has what appears to be an elastic band instead, which wraps around the midfoot area.

This silhouette also looks to have a new tooling on bottom–look closely and you'll spot siping along the sole that suggests a Natural Motion platform is in place.

There is no sneaker release date info on these Prestos yet, except that they should arrive before the year's end.
