Soulful Summer Slippers

The Filipino Brand Sole Project's Teamba Collection Features Caricatures

— July 4, 2011 — Fashion
The Filipino Brand Sole Project released a new set of flip flops in the most cunningly impressive way. Their Teamba collection features an amazing array of humorous yet intriguing caricatures that makes these slippers all fun to wear.

The Sole Project houses creative designers and collaborators, making their releases a true work of art -- but in a humorous way. Each pair is made out of 100% rubber for that durability, and the paint on every print is lead-free -- they've got the safety of their consumers in mind. Love cheeky, fun designs for your slippers? This could be your best choice! With zaniness merged in at every pair, you'd surely enjoy every step using these droll artworks for soles.

Filipinos have long been acknowledged for their resiliency, and this is one good example of turning current trends and issues into something useful, if not relevant. These Sole Project flip flops generate a sense of carefree humor with every design, as well as the right amount of Pinoy flavor.
