Adidas Y-3 by Yohji Yamamoto Tabi Sandal and Tabi Wedge

Because of the Nike Gladiateur Mid craze, I have found myself constantly on the lookout for roman sandals with a sporty edge. The style has grown on me and I think it’s a nice different take on the sporty sandal. I’m sure many women out there have also got a thing for tomboyish fashion like myself and also like their sandals to be both comfortable and stylish.

So when I came across the Tabi Sandal and the Tabi Wedge by Adidas Y-3 by Yohji Yamamoto, I had to blog about them here on MyRomanSandals ASAP:

Aren’t they divine? They also come in black (I think you can see the roman sandal origins in the black version more), but these white ones show off the translucent soles and the squared-off heel and toe better.

These wraparound sandals are not cheap by any means (the sandal is $364.00 and the wedge is $404.00) but you can expect only the most fine-tuned style aesthetics from Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto. The Tabi Sandal and the Tabi Wedge look deceptively simple, but their proportions, the thickness of the straps, and even the way the ties wrap around the feet and the ankles are all impeccably designed.

The Adidas Y-3 by Yohji Yamamoto Tabi Sandal and the Tabi Wedge may be expensive compared to other trendy roman sandals, but their timeless look is effortless and will last you open-toe season after open-toe season. Purchase them through Zappos.
