Step Onto Comfort and Tradition with Higashi Brand Tatami Sandals

For judoka and martial artists, the journey extends far beyond the tatami. Whether you’re cooling down after an intense training session, walking through your dojo’s hallways, or simply enjoying summer days, your footwear says a lot about who you are—and how you honor your craft.

Enter the Higashi Brand Tatami Sandals: a perfect blend of tradition, comfort, and versatile style that lets you carry the spirit of the dojo everywhere you go.

Inspired by Authentic Japanese Tatami

Tatami mats are the heart of every dojo. The subtle texture of their woven straw surface is iconic—a symbol of respect, discipline, and martial heritage. Higashi Brand’s newest sandals pay homage to this tradition with an exclusive tatami-inspired print that wraps your feet in craftsmanship and culture.

Every step looks and feels like you're still connected to the mats, whether you’re at the pool, beach, gym, or simply stepping out in style.

Designed for Durability and Comfort

More than just visually striking, these sandals bring serious function to your everyday rhythm:

  • Lightweight yet Robust: The high-quality rubber sole offers solid grip and endurance for both indoor and outdoor use.

  • Supportive Strap: The classic Y-shaped strap fit securely while complementing the minimalistic aesthetic.

  • Perfect for Training Days: Easy to slip on and off, they transition seamlessly from training sessions to showers and social time.

  • Unisex Sizes: Available in multiple sizes to fit all athletes who cherish quality and tradition.
