The ‘DEPA’ Sandal references the partnership between Suicoke and NEIGHBORHOOD, spotlighting the brand’s catchphrase "CRAFT WITH PRIDE" on jacquard straps around the shoe. After multiple successful collaborations, the Japanese powerhouse is back with a follow-up collaboration to their ‘MOTO Sandal’ from 2021, tapping NEIGHBOURHOOD for the unique silhouette. The shoe comes in two black and gray colorways and uses neutral text on both iterations to contrast its dark palette. The ‘DEPA’ sandal launches June 4 via Suicoke, NEIGHBORHOOD, and select retailers.
Suicoke has garnered a lot of social media attention due to its unique sandal offerings that compliment various styles and aesthetics. There has been particular interest in chunky sandals within the streetwear community, and Suicoke’s inventive silhouettes are perfect for any avant-garde or casual outfit.
