It has reached the point of bold status affirmation and this is a place many brands seek to be. The newest release of Virgil Abloh’s largely successful label is the Off-White Industrial Flip-Flops which fully borrow the aesthetic of the incredibly popular Industrial Belt. The summery footwear boasts an [EVA base](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-flip-flops) that is supportive and durable. The iconic Off-White design is communicated with arrow motifs at the heel, as well as “the same notation print found on the belt.” The Industrial Flip-Flops are made available in three color combinations – Yellow/Black, Black/White, and Beige/Black. They retail for $150 USD on [SSENSE](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1906r-sneaker-3).
