Streetwear imprint BAPE works in collaboration with Suicoke on the notable DAO sandal and the MOTO-2 silhouette set to launch exclusively online at Suicoke, and in Canada and America. The slide sandals are chunky and prepare for the warmer seasons.
The DAO sandal arrives in two options, both of which rest on an EVA footbed and rippled soles accompanied by an adjustable lacing system that allows wearers to righten the forefoot strap simply. All of the sandals boast BAPE's signature FIRST CAMO print over the straps. The two tonal options of the Dao sandals include all-black or red, white, and blue. The MOTO-2 is exclusively available in children's sizing and feature the same camo print over the velcro straps, finished in earthy tones contrasted by a white outsole.
