Ohana Hatake Full-Bloom "Rainbow" is a Floral EVA Slipper

Ohana Hatake Full-Bloom "Rainbow" is a floral EVA slipper designed by Takashi Murakami with the artist's signature multicolor flower motif covering the upper. The slip-on silhouette is molded from an upgraded injected EVA foam compound that provides a lightweight, water-friendly, and easy-to-clean construction for everyday wear. Finished in a vibrant rainbow palette, the slipper pairs its sculptural floral graphics with an ergonomic footbed that delivers cushioning and anatomical support while maintaining a bold visual identity rooted in Murakami's pop-art aesthetic.

The slipper is fitted with a thick textured outsole engineered to provide traction across a variety of indoor and outdoor surfaces. Its one-piece foam construction emphasizes durability and comfort while keeping the overall design lightweight for daily use.
