The shoe is an updated iteration of the iconic ROOM SHOE by the brand, recognized for its comfort centric design. The slipper silhouette joins the brand's offerings for the Fall/Winter 2020 season and boasts a main update at the sole unit. The foundation of the shoe showcases the Vibram Shark sole in order to give wearers the optimal silhouette for relaxing at home or transitioning to going outdoors. There are two colorway options of the shoe -- this includes an all-black option in corduroy or a brighter option of a checkered patterning blue and green.
