Tretorn STRAND ABORRE & STRAND SMöR Slip On Sneakers

Classic slip-ons get a modern new twist in these Tretorn Strand sneakers.
Celebrated on the weekend closest to 24 Jun, Midsummer marks the longest day of the year in Sweden, where the sun never seems to set & many Swedes retreat to the countryside to enjoy the outdoors. The relaxed fun & vitality of spirit this holiday signifies formed the inspiration behind the Strand sneakers. (Strand is the Swedish word for ‘beach’.)
Utilitarian yet stylish, these shoes do away with laces & up the whimsy with bold graphics on the left foot -- a perch, an artichoke, etc. The right side is simply left blank.
Canvas upper provides comfortable durability, too.
117 years old this year, Tretorn is on the up again lately & these unique, unfettered Strands are certainly helping to fuel the brand’s exciting rerising.
