The Street Slip is a style of laced footwear characterized by its larger than usual opening. Street Slips aesthetically, are built to take the form of Oxfords, Brogues, Derbies and recently, Sneakers. Street Slips originate from Melbourne, Australia. The idea was launched in October 2013 as part of HeavyTaste. The Street Slip is currently only available in Australia. On 7th February 2014, a crowd-funding campaign was launched on Kickstarter to raise funds for the product to be made globally available. The term Street Slip, comes from the habit of naming shoes after Australian streets. A 2014 collection Derby designed Street Slip was named after Collins Street in Melbourne. The collection to date comprises 9 designs.
