SLYPERS: XXX

The expedient sole for the deviant soul; the quiet slipper for the gentleman trickster…the brothel creeper.

Slypers is an irreverent shoe brand that is shameless about nodding to its prostitutional roots (the name itself comes from the Dutch term bordeelsluipers, a compound of bordeel (“brothel”) +‎ sluiper (“sneak, someone who sneaks”)), whose interior prints supply a little wink to the wearer. Their brand and site takes a brutalist approach in order for the ladies to remain the star of the shoe.
