【NEEDLES x PPACO】A functional beauty that defies convention. The jet-black "LUX-2 Needles Edition" is adorned with studs.
This season, the sandal that Arzak Kamakura is most interested in as the "next-generation sandal" is the collaboration between NEEDLES and PPACO.
Going beyond mere sandals, these sandals possess a fashionable appearance and astonishing practicality, making them truly appealing as a "product designed for walking."
1. PPACO's masterpiece "LUX-2": A philosophy that turns common sense on its head.
• Innovative "inverted" structure The straight-line design of the opening allows the sandals to be placed upside down. This prevents rain and dust from accumulating inside when left outdoors, ensuring that your feet are always clean when you put them in.
• New material "High-PerFORM®"
This new material incorporates natural latex, setting it apart from the overly soft cushioning often found in conventional recovery sandals. It offers just the right amount of resilience and firmness, making it comfortable for walking around town and providing stable support.
- Sophisticated design that doesn't look like "bathroom slippers"
This recovery sandal solves the common problems of many other sandals: being "too sporty" or "looking cheap," with its smooth, elegant texture and slim silhouette.
2. Special features unique to the NEEDLES EDITION
This collaboration uses the "LUX-2" as a base, with NEEDLES' signature sleek and sophisticated touch added in.
- Edgy decoration with studs The studs placed along the straight lines of the opening give these minimalist sandals a punkish touch. This particular model features a stud-like design, making it more versatile and sophisticated. The brand's iconic butterfly logo is also included.
- A fashionable silhouette thanks to the platform sole. By increasing the sole thickness compared to the inline model, the volume is emphasized. While further improving cushioning, it creates a voluminous look that won't be overshadowed by wide-leg pants or track pants.
With its sophisticated design, "LUX-2" is perfect not only for bare feet but also for a refined, casual style paired with white socks.
Regarding sizing, since the instep area fits snugly, it is generally recommended to choose the same size as your usual sneakers.
