NEEDLES is much more than just tracksuits and loungewear. The NEPENTHES family member repurposes a host of traditional Japanese clothing into its collections, ranging from samue jackets to trousers inspired by bukabuka zubon, the Japanese reinterpretation of American knickerbocker work pants. For Spring/Summer 2018, the brand reintroduces its geta-inspired thong sandals, complete with thick cloth strap, wooden base and rubber outsole. Naturally if you’re going to wear traditional-inspired sandals, you need the appropriate socks. NEEDLES has you covered there as well, with a pair of tie-dyed tabi socks, which boast a separated portion for the big toe, and textured sole allowing for traction while wearing in the house.

Shop the colorful tabi socks and hefty geta sandals now.

Most recently, NEEDLES featured in editorials from HAVEN and Goodhood.
