It seems that since last year's summertime, Sandal has become somewhat popular in the style game, and I don't think it will go anywhere anytime soon. We're not talking flip-flops or beach sandal kinda thing, we're talking about these "Sandal Gunung" & Grandpa Style thing. Today, many designers are using sandals as their key elements in style. From luxury brands, high street & niche labels, fashion retail giants, to designers, all got their own pair of sandal. Givenchy, Celine, Margaret Howell, Zara, H&M, A Bathing Ape, Neighborhood, Mastermind JAPAN, you name it.
In Japan, the sandal game is always on. They have been incorporating sandals as their element of style on their everyday outfit since long time ago. There' a reason why the birkenstock always has wonderful selection in Japan & better than any other country in Asia.
Looking at online shops all over the world, people tend to search for sandals from Birkenstock, Teva, Suicoke, or Chaco. But, aside from those nice brands, you can actually find some good quality sandals from less popular brand in menswear/streetwear genre, and of those brands is FitFlop, or Camper. Yes the two are example of footwear brands that got some good sandals.
Today, even the locals here in Indonesia has start challenging themselves in this game, one example is this new brand, Hijack. While some others are more focused on the leather boots and some shift to the premium leather kicks, Hijack is one of the brand that is more focused on developing a high quality sandal. Still taking inspirations from other brand, but at least they are start designing their own and that is good. I'm looking forward to see more from this Hijack brand. Here are some of their products available right now.
How long will this Sandal thing going on? We'll see. Here are some of my likings when it comes to sandals, these are from Teva, Suicoke, Mephisto, Visvim, Givenchy, Chaco, Triop, and Birkenstock.

I think sandals only looks good when you're wearing shorts, and in my opinion, wearing it with socks is not a good combination. xD
