Earlier this month, we sent an eblast talking about why Rainbow was more than a flip flop. We thought we’d post the info here in the event you missed it, because… well, we love the story! And hope you will too.
Here are 5 fun facts we bet you didn’t know:
- Made in a Garage
Loved Worldwide Founder, Jay “Sparky” Longley, started making sandals by hand in Laguna Beach back in 1974. Tired of cheap pairs breaking, he decided to build something better. He still owns the company.
- Built to Go the Distance
Some fans wear their Rainbows for over 10 years! With military-grade materials and a guarantee on the sole, they’re made for the long haul.
And yes, you read that right! If the sole wears out, Rainbow stands behind their product!
- That Rainbow Sticker Means Something
Every pair includes a small rainbow sticker—people collect them like trophies. It’s a little nod to the brand’s cult following.
- Eco-Friendly by Design
Way before “sustainable” was trendy, Rainbow was already reusing materials and reducing waste. Even worn-out sandals are often repurposed.
- A Surf Culture Staple
In Southern California and beyond, well-worn Rainbows are a badge of honor. If you know, you know.
