— April 27, 2018 — Fashion
Having a sweet tooth is something nearly any consumer can relate to, and these candy-inspired slides leverage everyone's love of confectionery treats and turn it into a stylish summer accessory.

The shoe collection comes from the Korean footwear brand, Switfish and the entire line will be featured on the brand's popular "dad style" slip-ons. The white, chunky midsole of these shoes offer both comfort and support, helping elevate the slide shoe from a simple footwear alternative to a stylish, day-long look. What really separates these shoes are its leather upper, which have been designed after popular candy bar wrappers and cereal boxes. The collection includes Snickers, Kit-Kat, Twix and Reese's Pieces iterations, offering something for every candy fan.
