Tom Sachs unveiled a plethora of goods alongside long-time partner Nike during the 'Tea Ceremony' exhibition, one of which was the Solarsoft sandals. The exhibition was unveiled at the Opera City Art Gallery in Tokyo and the aforementioned sandals gravitated attention with its vibrant yellow hue. It is a Lunarlite-made sandal silhouette and it sits on a ridged footbed foundation.
Additional details include the perforated accents at the toe area which is also seen with an upper strap and an impact absorbing sole area. The entire design is one-piece and branding details are debossed at the midfoot, showcasing the Swoosh and the rear features "NIKE." Rounding out the entire Solarsoft sandals are light brown straps reminiscent of the previous Mars Yard collaboration between the duo.
