Why it earns the space

Three reasons they get a spot in your bag

Packable shoes only work if you actually pack them. Here is what makes that easy.

the short version

  1. 1

    Folds flat

    One bag. No bulky sneakers hogging the overhead bin.

  2. 2

    Looks like a sneaker

    A normal low-top silhouette. Nothing that reads as a sandal, so you wear it past the gate and into dinner.

  3. 3

    Under $80

    Priced for people who fly often.

Pre-launch: comfort and fold durability are being proven in a sample round first.
