SHAKA / HIKER SK-101

The iconic sports sandal 'HIKER' from the footwear brand SHAKA features a traditional and trendy design reminiscent of Gurkha sandals that cover the toes to the instep, and is a classic sports sandal for both men and women, highly praised for its shoe-like comfort.
Ideal for day trips, overnight trips, café hopping, shopping, and outdoor activities like festivals and camping.
With unisex sizes, these are popular sandals that both men and women can enjoy.
Design and Functionality
・Following the trend of Gurkha sandals
HIKER, the roots of the footwear brand SHAKA, evokes the latest trends in Gurkha sandal designs. Recommended for city wear, travel, and festivals. A shoe-like model also recommended for those who want to wear sandals in a dressy style.

- Attention to the braided upper
The braided upper adds a visual accent, and the tape texture is carefully considered. From Spring/Summer 2023, we have used a polyester strap made from recycled materials designed for sustainability, pursuing the best balance between strength and comfort, resulting in a cotton-like texture and a natural look.

・Size adjustment available
You can fine-tune the fit at four points: the instep strap and ankle, so it fits snugly to your foot, which is another popular point. The toes and heels are protected with tape, so you can wear them like shoes while wearing them with a sporty sandal, making them great for outdoor and active occasions. * The number of tapes varies depending on the size.
22cm~25cm: 4 horizontal tapes on the instep / 2 tape adjustment parts
26cm~29cm: 5 horizontal tapes on the instep / 2 tape adjustment parts
* Horizontal tape with brand tags on the ankle is excluded from the count.
・High grip and comfortable walking
The outsole uses an original sole shaped like a shark's teeth, symbolizing SHAKA, providing excellent grip both for city wear and outdoor ground. The iconic sole design features a bumper at the toe and arch curve that fits the sole. The midsole uses EVA material with excellent cushioning, making foot movement easier and supporting light, comfortable walking.
Recommended Points
・Color variations
For Spring/Summer 2025, the lineup is unified in a solid color with a single tone matching the sole, featuring chic classic black, earthy and natural taupe, gray that pairs well with modern city looks, and bordeaux, which stands out as a fashion accent. This lineup allows you to enjoy your favorite outfits for both men's and women's looks.
・Comfortable and easy to care for
They are machine washable, so you can always wear them in a clean state.

Styling Suggestions
・Travel outfits
In spring, wear a refreshing shirt or light layer; in summer, wear a light cut-and-sew top. For bottoms, pair with wide, easy-to-move shorts, skirts, bags, or accessories to enhance the outfit.
・Festival Coordination
In spring, brightly colored tops and patterned items are recommended; in summer, prints and colorful T-shirts that lift your spirits pair perfectly with shorts and leggings. Adding large accessories and accented sacoche bags creates a festive atmosphere.
・Camping outfits
In spring, when the temperature difference between day and night is still a concern, try layering with a cut-and-sew top with cardigans or shells; in summer, opt for lightweight overalls or cool tops and easy-to-move bottoms. Adding a hat or accessories for an outdoor feel, or pairing it with a vest, is recommended for a stylish look.
・Casual Coordination
In spring, pair it with a mountain parka, denim jacket, or cardigan; in summer, wear a short-sleeved top with a linen shirt or a lightweight stole for air conditioning protection. Pair it with denim, cargo, or wide pants for a relaxed look. For spring/summer casual styles, SHAKA's sports sandals are a must.
- Elegant outfits
The simple monotone design matches a polished style. It pairs perfectly with slacks, chinos, tight skirts, and elegant dresses. Pairing it with gold and silver metal accessories, basket bags, or leather goods creates a more mature impression.
・Active coordination
It pairs perfectly with sporty tech wear and jersey materials. In summer, keep it light with simple T-shirts, sleeveless tops, or slayered leggings. Pair it with SHAKA sports sandals for both ease of movement and style.
