Step Off the Mats in Style: Meet the New Higashi Brand Tatami Sandals
Every judoka knows that feeling—transitioning from the hard work and discipline of the tatami mats into everyday life. But what if you could take a piece of the dojo spirit with you, wherever you go? Introducing the all-new Higashi Brand Tatami Sandals, designed for martial artists and anyone who appreciates comfort, tradition, and signature style.
Tradition Meets Everyday Function
Inspired by the authentic tatami flooring found in dojos across Japan, these sandals bring classic vibes to modern footwear. Whether you’re headed to the gym, cooling down after an intense randori, or just making a quick run to the store, you can now “take the tatami” with you every step of the way.
The signature tatami print evokes dojo culture, turning heads and sparking conversations—on the sand, on the street, or in the locker room.

Tatami-Inspired Print: Instantly recognizable all-over pattern, channeling traditional Japanese aesthetics.
Durable Rubber Soles: Built to take a beating, whether you’re headed to training or just keeping your feet clean at the pool.

Why We Made Them
