In 2015, Wakai debuted a go-to sneaker designed to be as easy-to-match as it is comfy. As an upgrade to that design, the brand responds with its latest version, the Wakai “Hashigo.” The new model features a removable cork sole making cleaning easier, while the length of the shoe is supported by a stable rubber outsole which offers extra traction in rainy weather. With a simple slip-on design and specially curated range of neutral colors and patterns, the “Hashigo” takes a lot of stress out of styling for day-to-day. Check out the photos above for a closer look, and grab a pair online here for approximately $50 USD.
