Havaianas Unveils Sandals That Change Color According To The Temperature
By Alexa Heah, 15 Aug 2022
Are these the hottest sandals you’ll ever wear?
Flip-flop brand Havaianas has teamed up with Los Angeles-based streetwear label MARKET to design thermo-reactive sandals that change color according to the temperature.
Featured in the Brazilian label’s Top and Tradi Zori models, this interesting technology goes from black to red when it’s exposed to heat, with the footbeds cheekily warning wearers “caution: hot sandal.”
According to Hypebeast, MARKET founder Mike Sherman was inspired by how hot the stand could get on Brazil’s beaches, leading him to work with the firm to co-create the dynamic design to communicate the idea to consumers.
It was “a dream” to be able to bring “a twist and exciting energy” to an already well-known product, Sherman adds.
The summer-ready sandals are now available to shop on the Havaianas website and MARKET online store, starting from US$55.
