This conceptual design is a refreshing take on “novel footwear” that are worn like sandals and created by refashioning traditional Japanese “geta” flipflopss inherited from ancient times through the use of EVA materials. It was awarded the Fumie Shibata (Good Design Award Judging Panel Chairperson) Prize at Japan’s largest design award “TOKYO MIDTOWN AWARD.”Commercialization efforts in collaboration with Calen Blosso, a well-established sandals brand founded in 1926, are underway.
