a hot comeback

Whether you’re a ’90s kid or a kid born in the ’90s, there is no other era more exciting than the one we grew up in. From mixed-tapes in actual tapes, largerthan-life gaming consoles, to all things glow in the dark, we all love looking back at these in nostalgia. Make Your Own Havaianas brings back this iconic decade at this year’s Make Your Own Havaianas (MYOH).

In the past years, Havaianas took everyone to colorful Brazil, sunny Hawaii, and kawaii Japan. This time around, they take us down memory lane in their 90s-themed MYOH. Iconic figures such as the TV, cassette tapes, and the boom box can adorn Havaianas’ black sole pair with pixels inspired from 8-bit video games. Glow-in-the-dark pins also celebrate the unabashed color of the era with lightning bolts, smileys, stars, lips, and M-Y-O-H letters available in all their vibrant glory. For those who want to customize their pairs with unique references, Havaianas will use 3D printing technology for you to create your very own pin design.
