Conceived to help hoopers reach new heights, the recovery footwear genre has gone from non-existent to absolutely essential in what feels like the blink of an eye. Look around and you’ll see every brand chasing its slice of the pie, packing top-tier tech into slip-ons built to keep your feet ready for whatever’s next. You’ve likely got a few in mind, but we can guarantee none stand out quite like what basketball upstart EQLZ has in store.

Enter the EQLZ 101 Slide, a brand new slip-on that blends comfort, traction, and recovery tech in a way unlike anything we’ve seen thus far. Operating in a lane typically dominated by EVA foam, EQLZ takes a different approach with dense fleece on the upper and footbed, keeping feet cozy and warm in cold conditions. No need to worry about sweat either, as the material’s moisture-handling properties help it evaporate quickly after training.

Underfoot, a distinctive “Tank Waffle” lug pattern promises reliable traction on any terrain and the kind of longevity that won’t have you needing a re-up anytime soon. As for what you can’t see, the 101 Slide features EQLZ’s proprietary ActiveRecovery material, a high-elastic compound designed for top-tier pressure absorption.

EQLZ has teamed up with Florida Gators guard and NYC native Boogie Fland to launch the model. “Your feet take a beating all season,” he says. “I wanted something I can throw on right after I hoop, but still rock outside, anywhere.”

The EQLZ 101 Slide releases February 12th, 2026 via EQLZ.com in multiple colorways: camo, grey, and black. Retail is set at just $60 USD.
