'Vacation Shoes' Special Exhibition Until the 17th
Gwangju Shinsegae Co., Ltd. (CEO Lee Donghoon) announced on July 15 that it is introducing a wide variety of summer sandals that are perfect for vacation season as the full-fledged summer begins.
In particular, at the store, products featuring sneaker-like sandal designs, known as "unsandals," are emerging as a trend, especially when styled with socks in the so-called "socks styling."

The "Newport H2" from KEEN, available at the Raum Edition store on the 3rd floor of the Gwangju Shinsegae main building, is easy to coordinate with various outfits. KEEN is an American urban outdoor shoe brand that has gained popularity by offering a wide range of summer outdoor designs. Notably, the use of water-resistant materials makes the shoes easy to care for, and the three-dimensional molding that fits the shape of the sole provides stable cushioning. In addition, the stopper design allows the laces to be easily tightened and loosened, enhancing convenience.
The "Fayto Sandal V2" from the FILA store located at Play Spot is also a representative unsandal product and has been so popular that it sold out after its release. Its design, which combines a "gorpcore" and cute vibe, has become increasingly sought after as influencer photos featuring the sandals have gained attention.
Fayto, known for its trendy style, provides immediate comfort from the first wear by using a soft-cushioned midsole and a highly resilient outsole.
Alongside this, a "Vacation Shoes" special event will be held at the event hall on the first basement level of the main building from July 11 to 17. Brands such as UGG, Tandy, and Thom McCann will participate, offering a variety of summer products from slippers to sandals at special clearance prices.
Shim Hanseong, head of the accessories team at Gwangju Shinsegae, said, "With the summer vacation season bringing more outdoor activities such as visits to valleys, the sea, and festivals, related items are gaining popularity. We hope customers will try on sneaker-like sandals at Gwangju Shinsegae, which offer a sporty gorpcore mood, trendy style, and stable comfort."
