Suicoke works in collaboration with GOOPiMADE on a new iteration of Suicoke's own BITA-V sandal silhouette. This time around the two draw inspiration from Greek mythology and the unique silhouette of the model is spotlighted by the closed-toe design.
There are two colorway options that launch in the new update -- there are the options of either an all-black or an earthy palette. The all-black colorway is designed to reflect the "chaos of ancient times" and the earthy tonal palette is meant to capture nature itself. The top of the piece features two ballistic nylon straps to hold it in place at the heel and the ankle. This wraps around soft neoprene paneling and features a molded split-toe tabi makeup.
