The idea was born in Japan – a country where sandals are far more than just shoes. They’re a centuries-old tradition. An inextricable part of a kimono outfit. The footgear of Buddhist monks on their spiritual journey, and a symbol of freedom to go wherever you like.​ Founded in 2016, Tokyo-based SUBU take sandals to a whole new level by bringing to the equation an unexpected level of warmth and comfort. The SUBU collection blends minimalistic original design and premium tech wear fabrics to create contemporary designs that can be worn indoors, outdoors, for travel and camping. Functionality and design come together in a previously unknown category of footwear – SUBU.
