Resort Sandals That Uphold "Made In Hawaii"

Island Slipper

Island Slipper boasts enduring popularity thanks to its soft suede uppers and highly cushioned footbeds, offering exceptional comfort. Now an indispensable item for the summer season, they are loved by a wide range of generations. This year, JOURNAL STANDARD offers a rich selection of beach sandals in various colors, as well as wedge-soled sandals for women featuring specially ordered fabrics.

Island Slipper was born on Oahu in 1946, founded by Takeo Nagahata, a Japanese immigrant to Hawaii. Later, his son, Edward Motonaga, used the sandal prototypes created by his father to establish a factory and begin production. In 1986, the company was passed on to the current president, John Carpenter, and Island Slipper grew into a globally renowned sandal manufacturer.

From its inception, the company has adhered to the philosophy of being a "resort sandal manufacturer that handles everything from design to production in Hawaii," maintaining its Made In Hawaii commitment to this day. Materials include traditional Hawaiian print fabrics and carefully selected leather from mainland America. The factory lacks mass-production lines; instead, skilled artisans craft each pair, almost entirely by hand, much as they have for the past 50 years.

Wearing Island Slippers, you'll find even city streets paved with concrete feel comfortable underfoot. They also complement the latest resort styles, allowing you to enjoy fashion while embracing a relaxed mood. If you wish to infuse your summer with a sense of the season from your feet up, start by visiting JOURNAL STANDARD Omotesando.

MENS

The moment you slip them on, you'll feel the smooth touch of the suede. The footbed offers exceptional cushioning for unparalleled comfort. With a wide range of variations, from basic to vibrant, they pair well with everything from denim to slacks. JOURNAL STANDARD has created special orders for these, featuring exquisite combinations of materials and colors.

WOMENS

These models feature wedge heels while maintaining the relaxed feel of beach sandals. The rich array of fabrics, including denim, leopard print, and three-tone suede, are all special orders from JOURNAL STANDARD, offering unique arrangements that enhance a resort style.
