For those who love the minimal look of the Nike Benassi but want a little more cushioning, there's the Benassi Solarsoft. It's essentially the same sandal but with a bed of Solarsoft cushioning. It's also available in an array of colors, but we suggest you stick with the murdered-out option.

If your team has made an early exit from the World Cup, or didn't make the field at all, you might need some new soccer gear. Nike's fictional soccer club, F.C. Real Bristol, has put their imprint on a pack of Benassi Solarsoft slides. Each pair comes in a different camo print. But if we had a choice, we'd go with the traditional woodland camo print.

The move this summer is to take the sandal back to basics. Don't get a pair with an Air bubble on it or crazy branding. Just keep it simple. And it doesn't get any more O.G. than a pair of adidas Adilettes. If you're looking for inspiration on how to sport your pair, take notes from Dom Kennedy: high socks and ball shorts. The classic black pair with white stripes is always a winner, but you can also get a custom set from miadidas and get a coked-out or all-red pair, too.
