Chunky Perforated Summer Sandals

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Y-3 Launches New Colorways of the Notoma Sandal

— April 23, 2021 — Fashion
Y-3 unveils the latest silhouette in time for the warmer season with the Notoma sandal offered in two different colorway options. The shoe is available in either a fusion of black, Chalk White, and red or Clear Brown, red, and black. The Notoma nods to the iconic Torsion-equipped sole unit foundation that made its original debut back in September last year.

The sandals also have a chunky silhouette overall, with a curved look at the top and a large midsole foundation. The upper is constructed from a blend of suede, mesh, and foam that makes up the open sidewall section, the heel area, and the toe box. The laces are a notable component of the silhouette, with laces that run down the padded mesh tongue with straps hold them in place to connect down with the midsole.
