I think I speak for everyone when I say the shoe that’s taken the fashion world by storm is the once-cringey flip-flop. It started bubbling up last year, and not gonna lie, I was skeptical about its comeback. But in 2026—especially heading into summer—I’m officially obsessed, and so is everyone else. There are so many versions now, from barely-there-thin styles to chunky platforms and even kitten-heeled designs (cosigned by Hailey Bieber). And if you needed further proof that flip-flops have crossed into official fashion territory, today's newly launched Isabel Marant x Havaianas collab is it.

The luxury fashion house and the accessible sandal brand have joined forces to create two insanely chic styles that give this warm-weather staple a seriously elevated update. One leans into the maximalist energy that’s everywhere right now, while the other is more laid-back and gives that low-key, beachy vibe—closer to the classic, easygoing Havaianas aesthetic.

They’ve come together to reimagine flip-flops, using Isabel Marant’s signature prints and embellishments with Havaianas’ iconic silhouettes. If you lean more glamorous or want something a little bolder, the puffed sandals—a first for Havaianas—stand out with their studded, textured finishes. And for something a bit more understated, the classic rubber styles with bright tie-dye prints still feel true to Havaianas, but with a subtle, playful twist.

The buzz around these has been hot ever since the collaboration was announced, so it’s more than likely they’ll sell out fast (honestly, in minutes). In other words, I wouldn’t overthink it—if you’re eyeing a pair, just go for it. The collection is now available to shop on Nordstrom.com.
