WACKO MARIA and Filipino sandal brand el Nido flips have unveiled their collaborative new pieces for Spring/Summer 2021.

Offered in either a brown and black or bright pink and black leopard finish, the flip-flops are crafted with high-quality suede leather made from sheep skin. The midsole and outsole for both options arrive in a complementing hue of black, along with visible stitching on the strap and a golden GUILTY PARTIES stamp on the footbed. WACKO MARIA’s signature leopard pattern graces the basic beach sandals of el Nido flips, which are produced at a historic factory in the Philippines that has been manufacturing shoes for about half a century.

The WACKO MARIA x el Nido flips can be found over at the official WACKO MARIA online store, the PARADISE TOKYO / WACKO MARIA brick-and-mortar store and other regular dealers for ¥16,500 JPY (approximately $150 USD).

Elsewhere in footwear, take a look at Soulection’s inaugural Suicoke collab.
