Slack is down… to collaborate on these limited-edition sneakers

Shoemaker Cole Haan is collaborating with Slack, everybody’s favourite sometimes offline office messaging service on a brand new pair of limited-edition sneakers. The Slack-branded sneakers are anticipated to be correctly unveiled Wednesday after they’re set to “drop” (am I saying that proper?). But for now Cole Haan has teased the designs in a dimly lit picture posted to its social media channels.

I could reside to remorse saying this however… I truly don’t hate the look of them? Cole Haan is producing 4 totally different variations of the sneaker which every use one in all Slack’s major colours for his or her soles, and so they all have small Slack logos on the heel cap. To be clear, I’m completely not available in the market for a pair of workplace-messaging-app-branded sneakers, however if I have been then these are in all probability those I’d go for.

According to Cole Haan’s touchdown web page for the sneakers, they have been designed “with the Slack crew, over Slack.” It additionally notes that they’re restricted version, so don’t count on them to turn out to be a everlasting fixture in Cole Haan’s shoe lineup. The shoemaker beforehand collaborated with Slack on a promotional video, wherein Cole Haan talked about the way it makes use of the messaging service.

If you’re trying to full your Slack look, then would possibly I counsel additionally investing in a pair of Slack branded socks? They’re accessible in your alternative of cream or purple, and the itemizing advertises that they’re knitted “with care” in North Carolina.

Cole Haan doesn’t seem to have introduced pricing for the Slack sneakers simply but, however they’re unlikely to be as costly as a pair of Apple-branded sneakers which Gizmodo reviews offered for nearly $10,000 at public sale again in March. The sneakers have been made for Apple’s workers again within the early 90s, and have the corporate’s authentic and iconic multi-colored brand. Now there’s a pair of company sneakers I’d truly think about sporting, as long as I might purchase them for $9,950 much less that what they final offered for.
