SneakersBR, a footwear brand that's based in Brazil, joined with Rider for a collection of slip-on sandals that pay tribute to the the latter brand's roots.
Founded back in 1986, Rider is reported to have a history that goes back further than many of its competing brands, at least in terms of manufacturing sleek slip-on sandals. In order commemorate this, the collaborative collection models each design on a different decade.
The 'OG' slip-on sandals therefore aims to revitalize Rider's first release -- with the vintage aesthetic complemented by red and blue designs on a white upper. Also included are a pair of 1990s-inspired slip-on sandals that are made with mesh and suede material along with a Velcro accent. A pair that honors the current decade meanwhile speaks to the minimalist look that continues to be popular.
