How does the Benassi JDI differ from the Benassi Duo Ultra?

The JDI is a single-density foam slide with a plain strap. The Duo Ultra adds a softer dual-density midsole and a synthetic leather strap, so it feels plusher but costs more.

Is it good for the pool or beach?

Yes. The foam upper and footbed are easy to rinse and dry quickly, which is why owners use it as a poolside and shower slide.

Does it have arch support?

Only minimal. The footbed is fairly flat, so it suits short wear rather than long walks or standing all day.

How does the sizing run?

The Benassi JDI generally runs true to size for most wearers. If you are between sizes or have a wide foot, consider going up.

Will the strap stretch out?

The synthetic strap softens with wear but does not stretch much. It should feel snug but not tight when new.

One pair of slides. No socks, bag or extra insoles are included.

Our take on the Benassi JDI Athletic Slide

The Nike Benassi JDI is a one-piece foam slide with a wide synthetic strap and a textured footbed. It is the entry point of Nike's slide line: simpler than the Benassi Duo Ultra, which adds a softer dual-density midsole, and plainer than the Victori One, which has a contoured footbed and a padded strap. Owners treat it as a poolside, locker-room and errand sandal, and many say the strap and footbed soften after a few wears. The common complaints are a stiff, flat feel at first and a footbed that gets slick when wet.
