Just in time for the Spring/Summer 2022 season, Carhartt WIP and Suicoke join forces on new sandal designs for the season, designed with inspiration from the iconic Detroit Jacket by Carhartt. The two deliver the silhouettes of the MOTO and the DEPA as the base foundation of the range.
The Japanese footwear label draws inspiration from the apparel brand as it highlights the jacket's construction. It uses both canvas and corduroy across the shoe in a Hamilton Brown and black colorway paletet. The MOTO slide is made with a blended fabric throughout the upper using Dearborn canvas along with corduroy and held together with nylon straps at the top. It is also complete with the antibacterial EVA footbed in brown.
