Runner-Inspired Sandal Hybrids

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Onitsuka Tiger's REBILAC Sandal Comes in Two Colorways

— June 28, 2022 — Fashion
An interesting sandal hybrid is offered by footwear brand Onitsuka Tiger at an affordable price. The silhouette has an interesting aesthetic that, in the landscape of contemporary footwear design makes it noteworthy, and is optimized to bring the utmost comfort to the wearer. The style of this sandal hybrid—the model is officially named the Rebilac Sandal—takes cues from Onitsuka Tiger's signature REBILAC™ RUNNER which is the brand's "modern interpretation of running shoes from [its] archives."

The sandal hybrid is equipped with an open mesh upper that guarantees optimal breathability and less overheating. The silhouette design also features hook-and-loop straps, as well as elastic heel bands. This allows for the sandal hybrid to fit securely while also ensuring an easy on-and-off experience.
