Lịch sử thời trang
Established in Tokyo in 2016, Subu introduced the concept of the winter sandal to the global market. The brand emerged from a Japanese design philosophy focused on streamlining daily transitions between domestic and public spaces. Its cultural significance lies in the popularization of hybrid footwear that combines the warmth of a puffer jacket with the structure of a shoe. This development contributed to the broader rise of functional, comfort-oriented fashion in the late 2010s.
