Sportswear label FILA introduces the Disruptor Strappy Sandals that is directly modeled after its Disrupter Sneakers as the summer season quickly approaches. The bulky structure of the silhouette is retained, cut out in areas throughout the uppers to transform it from a sneaker to a sandals design.
The forefoot is changed to have a normal tread around the heel area and is complete in the traditional FILA colorway of white, red, and blue. The Disruptor Strappy Sandals sit on top of a chunky sole unit constructed from rubber materials, replicating the original sneaker. The modifications are found at the uppers, where the construction features materials such as white mesh materials accented with a hook and loop fastening enclosure wrapping around the forefoot in the colors red and white for contrast. rounding out the entire sandals is a heel strap for additional security accented with FILA branding.
