Wow!! How cool are those Espadrilles ??! Since I am  from the Basque Country, I wear them all the time.  I also designed Espadrilles collection for my Danish Friend Rubber Duck. French brand String Republic came up with their Bsided collection of ‘Faux sneakers design’ called The Artificial Sneaker and they look really good ! They are made n the Basque Country ( Gorra Euskadi).  Bsided is between the traditional rope-soled sandals and have more trendy and fashion touch with the sportswear side of the sneaker. These are definitely some dope sneakers thatI need to put my hands (feet) on !! Not on sale (yet) in the US but you can purchase them from their online store
