KIONÉ SANDAL "MA"
KIONÉ SANDAL "MA"
The Story
Every day has a moment when work ends —
but your mind doesn’t.
You close the laptop.
Step outside.
Yet you’re still carrying the day with you.
MA begins
there.
Not as another pair of sandals.
As a small ritual that quietly tells your mind:
“You’re home now.”
Inspired by the Japanese custom of changing shoes at the entrance, MA marks the transition between the outside world and your own.
The Product
A traditional
Japanese sandal.
For the walk to the mailbox, coffee outside, the dog around the block — and the quiet minutes in between.
Not performance footwear.
A uniform for slowing down.
The Ritual
Leave work behind.
Take off the shoes that carried your responsibilities.
Step into MA.
A different pair.
A different pace.
A different state of mind.
Slow down.
Walk the dog. Make coffee. Check the mailbox. Sit outside.
The ritual is small.
That’s why it works.
Why “MA”?
In Japanese culture, Ma is the space between two moments.
The pause before movement.
The silence between sounds.
The distance between work and home.
KIONÉ SANDAL “MA” belongs in that space.
Not to take you somewhere.
To bring you back.
The Design
A traditional Japanese sandal known as setta, selected in Japan and presented for modern everyday wear.
Size & Fit
MA follows a traditional Japanese sandal fit. Your heel may extend slightly beyond the back edge. This is intentional and does not mean the sandal is too small.
Measure from the back of your heel to the tip of your longest toe. US sizing is approximate and may vary by brand.
At exactly 27 cm, choose S for a closer traditional fit, or M if you prefer more room.
