Craig Green works together with adidas on a special hybrid silhouette in the form of the RETROPY SANDALS. The shoes are designed with elements of a sneakers and sandals for the summer season. It boasts a ropey structure with inspiration from 80s running shoes.
As a result, the RETROPY SANDALS features cutout accents along the sidewalls and heels. It blends various textures over the upper with smoother details in the form of the woven accents. Craig Green secures the shoe with a bungee rope, which loops through the eyelets in a silver tone with branded toggles nodding to the designer. It is rounded out by Boost cushioning pumps at the soles which add a comfortable step.
