Retro Jelly Sandals

Acne Studio's Hybrid Sandals are a Throwback to Classic Jelly Sandals

— January 17, 2018 — Fashion
Stockholm-based fashion house Acne Studio is bringing retro jelly sandals back in style with its latest shoe release.

Known for its fashion-forward clothing, shoes and accessories, Acne Studio brought forward the latest edgy version of the well-known childhood style. These classic shoes are available in two colorways: gray and gold or pink and brown. The footwear features a rubber foam sole for maximum comfort, metal clasps and a flashy sparkle-filled rubber exterior. Inspired by a minimalist Scandinavian style that began in the 80s, these retro jelly sandals fit in with the rest of the brand's offerings by being contemporary and architecturally inspired.

The attention to detail on these new sandals is evidently shown by mixing comfort with style. Retro jelly sandals are officially back in style with Acne Studio's modern take.
