After Rihanna reignited the hype surrounding the semi-transparent plastic sandals that were a hit back in the 90s, others have been following suit and releasing their own adaptations of the style, including Urban Outfitters, who recently launched its 'Jelly Pool Slide' sandals.
Urban Outfitters' sandals are offered in three colorways: pink, black, and clear -- with each featuring a heavy dose of sparkle inside of the PVC material that they're made of. Due to their durable build, the Jelly Pool Slides are perfect for the beach or virtually any other occasion that might result in some stains, as they can simply be wiped clean.
Although the Jelly Pool Slides are similar in design to Rihanna's popular sandals, they're just a fraction of the price, with each pair running for $15 USD.
