01 / two types of people

There's the Rainbows guy. And the Havaianas guy.

Or girl, obviously. Tap yours.

There's about to be a third kind.

Get on the list

02 / what we're fixing

Three things. That's the whole brief.

  1. 01

    Dries fast.

    Dry on the walk back from the sand. Not by next summer.

  2. 02

    Strap stays.

    Anchored so it never pulls through the sole. The thing that kills every pair you've owned.

  3. 03

    Feet breathe.

    A footbed that doesn't turn into a sauna by noon.

03 / how this goes

Three steps. You're on the first one.

  2. 02

    The founding run.

    Small on purpose. Newport first.

  3. 03

    Your door.

    the balboa or the lido, whichever one you tapped.

04 / from here

Born in Newport. Built by people who live here.

Four of us, all from here, all with real jobs, all wearing the same two flip flops as everyone else on the peninsula and all tired of it.

The unfair part: we already make physical products for a living, in a factory we work with every day. We can actually make the thing, not just post about it.
