Luxury streetwear brand Vetements launched a pair of foam flip flops for those that are prepared to travel and enjoy the sunny weather away from the cold. The shoes arrive in the options of a bold neon yellow or black and the most notable component of the design is the shape of the sandal.
For the most part, the flip flops are similar to the familiarized versions, but this iteration highlights the toe area as it is cut in an anatomic silhouette. There are five edges cut out around the front to imitate the shape of a foot. The outsoles are made from rubber as well to add some traction along with debossed branding accents. The side strap features the brand's name in a contrasting hue dependant on the colorway.
