Tonal Contrast Cozy Slides

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The North Face Drops the EQBC Slides in a Black and White Colorway

— February 17, 2021 — Fashion
The North Face unveils the new EQBC sandal design that boasts a minimal look this time around, offering a black and white colorway. The comfortable silhouette readies for the warmer seasons of the year in a versatile tonal palette, done in a contrasting manner.

The outsole is made from rubber materials to offer some durability and has the wearer's foot rest on top of a soft foot bed foundation. The upper is made from mesh materials for breathability blended with ripstop materials, held together with a velcro strap over the forefoot. Additional security is offered with a buckle detailing to allow wearers to adjust the fit of the sandal to their liking. The sole is done in black and the forefoot in white.
