Slick, stylish and potentially comfortable, the style takes cues from Off-White’s ODSY-1000 Sneaker, facilitating a relationship between the world of closed-toe footwear and more freeing, [summery silhouettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandal-designs). The upper is constructed from a two-piece neoprene. A [Velcro strap fastening](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/off-the-grid-pack) contributes with an edgy, industrial-style look. The partially beige midsole creates a contrasting element that is further extended by the ridged bottom. Naturally, as most products by Virgil Abloh’s popular Off-White brand, the model is complete with the iconic cross-arrow motif, which appears in white on the footbed at the heel area. For further branding, the designers also add an embossed Off-White on the midsole of the ODSY Sandal.
