Whether we want to admit it or not, summer has said goodbye and fall has arrived like a diva. The crisp, cool air doesn’t allow us to run around in flashy little flip flops anymore, but that’s ok! The Flips store at Mall of America has brought tube flops to town. Created by the funky footwear company called Sanük, tube flops are simply flip flops connected to those crazy leg warmers you see in all the 80s movies. But they’re not so crazy anymore because 80s fashion is the “it” thing this fall. While the ground is still snow free, tube flops are an innovative way to keep wearing your flip flops a little longer. And they’re perfect for hanging out in those chilly dorm rooms while lounging in your favorite pajamas. Flips is located on level 1, South.

The Flips store at Mall of America has the answer. Flip flops aren’t just for simmering summer days at the beach anymore.
