Korean streetwear mainstay thisisneverthat is back with another buzz-worthy collaboration—this time teaming up with Japanese cult favorite SUICOKE to rework what a summer slide should look and feel like. Meet the TNT-DECO-Cab, a stripped-down, suede-up remix of SUICOKE’s iconic MOTO-Cab silhouette.
Launching globally on June 20, 2025, their drop isn’t just a sandal—it’s a refined flex. Think premium materials, clean lines, and a less-is-more aesthetic that still turns heads. Whether you’re deep in the thisisneverthat camp or just now catching the SUICOKE wave, this drop nails that balance of streetwear superb and everyday comfort.
1. A Minimalist Take on a Streetwear Classic
At the core of the collab is SUICOKE’s MOTO-Cab, a chunky, padded slide with utilitarian roots. It has become a staple in the wardrobes of sneakerheads and normcore fans alike, praised for its comfort-first design and distinctive silhouette. But thisisneverthat isn’t known for playing it safe—they’ve given the MOTO-Cab a complete aesthetic reset.
Gone are the thick velcro straps and overt tech detailing. In their place: smooth cow suede uppers, soft tonal colors, and a clean-lined profile that brings a luxe sensibility to a sandal made initially for the outdoors. Available in Soft Beige and Deep Navy, the TNT-DECO-Cab delivers wearable minimalism at its peak.
This isn’t just about dialing back the visuals—it’s about evolving the form. By rethinking how the MOTO-Cab fits into a city-ready wardrobe, thisisneverthat has taken a silhouette born from function and turned it into a versatile style piece. Whether you pair them with oversized cargos, cropped trousers, or even relaxed tailoring, these slides pull the entire look together without screaming for attention.
2. Performance Comfort, Everyday Wear
Apart from its looks, the TNT-DECO-Cab brings serious substance. It’s built for movement, extended wear, and hot-weather endurance. At its base is a cushioned EVA footbed, delivering that signature SUICOKE step-in comfort that fans swear by. It molds to your foot over time, giving you that broken-in feel from the start.
Underneath, a lightweight yet durable rubber outsole grips well on a variety of surfaces—whether you’re navigating airport terminals, hopping city curbs, or heading from brunch to the beach. This slide isn’t afraid to go the distance.
What’s key here is balance: the TNT-DECO-Cab manages to stay featherlight while maintaining structural integrity. That’s not easy to pull off in a silhouette this clean. No bulk. No extra weight. Just easy, breathable comfort that feels as good as it looks.
3. Branding That Whispers, Not Shouts
In an era where logos often take center stage, thisisneverthat takes a quieter route—and it’s a smart move. Instead of large prints or loud co-branding, the TNT-DECO-Cab opts for debossed logos on the upper. It’s a nod to both brands that only the real ones will notice—and that’s the point.
The result is a sandal that feels elevated and understated at the same time. It’s the kind of piece that doesn’t chase attention but earns it anyway. For those into stealth wealth, clean design, and brand storytelling through subtlety, this drop hits all the right notes.
And let’s be real: streetwear is growing up. The aesthetic is shifting toward thoughtful design, premium builds, and timeless fits. This collaboration is part of that movement—proof that hype doesn’t have to be loud to hit hard.
thisisneverthat‘s TNT-DECO-Cab is available online on the brand’s official website and in select stores starting June 20, 2025. Quantities are limited, and judging by how fast their recent drops have vanished, you’ll want to be ready.
The Korean streetwear brand thisisneverthat has a track record of turning subtle collabs into cult pieces—see their past link-ups with New Balance, GORE-TEX, and CASETiFY. With SUICOKE, they’re not reinventing the wheel—they’re refining it. By toning down the tech and leaning into form, the TNT-DECO-Cab becomes more wearable, more versatile, and way more elevated.
This exclusive drop features the slide you’ll actually want to wear. It’s sleek, functional, and quietly flex-worthy—the kind of summer essential you’ll keep in rotation long after the season ends.
