Do you kind of hate sandals? You're not alone. 

There are folks who champion Jordan Brand sandals year-round, but Nike, thanks to a collaboration with Fragment Design, has just designed possibly the coolest sandal on the market.

The 21 Mercer Instagram account just announced that Fragment, which is headed by Hiroshi Fujiwara, has worked on a Benassi Slide and it has taken the $22 sandal and made it something new.

For starters, the strap has hairy suede with no Nike branding. According to Nike, the sandal is "A textural take on the trademark slip-on Meet the Nike Benassi Fragment Slide SP, a textural take on the trademark slip-on silhouette."

That's a lot of textural things.

The release date is this Saturday, April 12, and will be available at 21 Mercer and Dover Street Market in New York City.
