LA POCHE_AYAH_WHT BRN

AYAH
Gladiator Sandal / White × Brown

A structure found in ancient footwear, designed to bind, wrap, and propel the foot forward.
AYAH is a leather sandal that reconstructs the concepts of Japanese waraji, ancient Roman caligae, and military-derived gladiator sandals.

Despite differences in culture and era, the rationality of keeping the foot close to the ground and lightening the body is common. AYAH has brought this universal structure into modern life.

The generously sized footbed and deliberately asymmetrical outline create a unique presence where ruggedness and elegance coexist. The design, with its ample space, naturally conforms to various foot widths, leading to a comfortable wearing experience that reduces stress during long walks.

Cushioning is built into various points where the foot makes contact. The thong part features a structure where the inside of the bag stitching is turned outwards, so the seam does not directly rub against the foot. This enhances comfort while maintaining a minimalist aesthetic.

The WHT/BRN model uses TOSCANO leather from Tuscany, Italy. Furthermore, the white parts are combined with undyed, white-tanned Italian horse leather. A distinctive feature is the ability to enjoy the natural texture of the materials and their aging process through sun exposure and oxidation.

A sponge is built into the footbed, providing a comfort unique to "growing leather" that molds to the wearer's foot shape over time. The ankle strap is removable, allowing for changes in appearance to match styling or mood.

Vibram soles are used, and the sandals are designed to be re-soled, allowing for long-term wear and care.

AYAH is a pair of sandals that combines the structural beauty of ancient footwear with modern functionality.
It is a sandal that embodies LA POCHE's philosophy of becoming more complete with each wear.

Origin

AYAH (綾) refers to the way threads or lines overlap and intersect to form a single pattern or structure.

Japanese waraji and ancient Roman caligae.
Two types of footwear, born in distant lands, yet existing to propel people forward. We named it AYAH because their shared philosophy and structure intersect and weave together into a single form.

The long-awaited new sandals from LA POCHE have arrived.

LA POCHE is a brand whose designs, even for women, are not overly sweet, making them perfect for the women who visit Spiral.

These sandals can be worn by those with wider feet, and can also be worn casually like flip-flops without the straps.

The design is also suitable for men if the size fits.

A common concern with this type of sandal is discomfort between the toes, but the thong is placed vertically and tension is applied towards the sides, so it is designed to prevent pain.

We believe a wider range of customers will be able to enjoy them.

Please try various ways of wearing them using the straps.
