Off-White Creates the Bold ODSY Sandal
References: brownsfashion & hypebeast
The ODSY Sandal is a product of active deconstruction. Slick, stylish and potentially comfortable, the style takes cues from Off-White’s ODSY-1000 Sneaker, facilitating a relationship between the world of closed-toe footwear and more freeing, summery silhouettes.
The upper is constructed from a two-piece neoprene. A Velcro strap fastening contributes with an edgy, industrial-style look. The partially beige midsole creates a contrasting element that is further extended by the ridged bottom.
Naturally, as most products by Virgil Abloh’s popular Off-White brand, the model is complete with the iconic cross-arrow motif, which appears in white on the footbed at the heel area. For further branding, the designers also add an embossed Off-White on the midsole of the ODSY Sandal.
