Today’s Yeezy Slides drops could have gone better, but before you pay resell, here are the best alternatives for your go-to summer sandal:
Birkenstock Boston
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, this has been Instagram’s most popular slip-on. All the moodboarders fought over the Stussy collaboration but the OG Taupe colorway is just as good and is readily available.
Suicoke Kaw-Cab
The more affordable Visvim Christo. Suicoke has established itself as the go-to sandal brand out of Japan. With a range of models, the Kaw-Cab is a personal favorite due to the upper construction. The sandals are also outfitted with Vibram soles. They’re on sale via SSENSE with the SHOP15 code.
Nike Asuna Crater Slide
Nike’s newest sandal features 20% recycled materials by weight. The Crater Foam also offers great cushioning and comfort to go along with a nice design.
adidas Adilette Boost Slide
Perhaps the go-to post-game footwear for most, the adilette slides have been a staple with athletes. Add the extra boost cushioning and you have a guaranteed winner from adidas here.
Merrell Hydro Moc
If you thought you could get through another day without hearing me talk about these, you were wrong. That being said, the Hydro Moc is now being picked up by global retailers like SSENSE. It’s only a matter of time before the rest of the public catches on. Sharing the same DNA as the Foam Runners and Crocs, these will undoubtedly be the sandal of the summer.
