Transitioning into the warm weather season, UNDERCOVER recently released a trio of Chaos/Balance emblazoned Cowhide Slides. Teaming up with sustainability-focused brand HAYN again, the Jun Takahashi led label created a range of fashionable yet comfortable footwear options.

Available in red, green and black, the Chaos/Balance Cowhide Slides features a dual-injected recycled polyurethane footbed and a natural rubber in the outsole. Providing an unrivaled level of comfort, the neoprene lined premium cowhide strap utilizes a patent-pending expansion joint design to provide a sleek stretch to adjust comfortable and snug fit. While aesthetic detailing comes in the form of contrasting UNDERCOVER “U” logos at the heel of the footbed and the dichotomous “CHAOS/BALANCE” emblazoned respectively on the straps of slides.

Priced at $160 USD, UNDERCOVER’ Chaos/Balance Cowhide Slides are available now at retailers like Feature.

For more UNDERCOVER, the Japanese imprint recently linked up with FULL-BK for a collaborative set of cross-body bags.
