RIPNDIP, a streetwear label that's based out of Los Angeles, recently updated its selection of offerings with two new variations of pool slide sandals, which make use of its now iconic cat illustration.
On the thick straps of the sandals, the cat illustration is shown giving the middle finger with each paw, while it boasts a smug little smile. On both the pink and white colorways, the cat is colored white and outlined in black, while pink accents mark the interior of its ears and its nose.
As the uppers of the new RIPNDIP sandals are constructed from leather, and the soles are made from thick rubber, they have a durable design that enables them to be worn everywhere from the beach to the sidewalk.
