Japanese imprint Evisen Skateboards works in collaboration with [Suicoke](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suicoke-4) on a new collection that spotlights the signature LETA-AB sandal silhouette. The summer-ready design focuses on function first and foremost, with a minimal design language delivered by the simplistic palette.

It comes in either white or black for a versatile look for the season. It has elements of comfort with the [ergonomic footbed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vivobarefoot-vivobiome-tabi-gen-01-sandal) that is true to Suicoke and delivers cushioning softness with an antibacterial quality to ensure cleanliness. It also features a [Vibram ARCTIC GRIP](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vibram-furoshiki) at the sole unit to ensure that there is more traction with every step. The upper has three layers which use both artificial leather materials with cowhide suede for a premium feel.
