Material: Mylea™
Collaborator: Hijack Sandals
After almost a year, through rapid prototyping, rigorous testing, and collaboration processes. Mylea and Hijack are proud to present to the audience a future sandal that you can see firsthand.
Mimic Mylea™️ inspired by Homo Sapiens, an abundant and widespread primate species. With extensive and complex brains enabling the development of advanced tools, homo sapiens can create a civilization. When technology tools have become ubiquitous and more advanced comes more enormous responsibilities for us toward our surroundings. More specifically, our nature and environment for the next generations.
To be able to reach the future that we strive for, there is no other way than to start creating the future itself. Thus, we introduce you to Mimic Mylea™️. Hijack Sandals’ first sandal was crafted with Mylea™️ mycelium leather engineered by Mycotech Lab.
Mimic Mylea™️ is enhanced with environmentally friendly Mylea™️ leather for the primary upper material. Hi-Flex insole for comfort and long-lasting cushioning with arch support. Available in two colors – Mylea & Blach and two outsoles: Hi-Tact & VIBRAM®️ Ripple outsole for extra grip and comfort. Exclusively released in Indonesia and Japan, Mimic Mylea is only available in limited quantities.
Take a deep insight into Mylea™ and discover how this specific material is the answer for the future. We believe that to walk toward the future, responsibility is the key.
