Early 2020s (Modern Y2K revival style)
Material
Synthetic faux leather (polyurethane/PU) with a synthetic rubberized or plastic wedge sole. Low-to-mid cost construction common in fast-fashion footwear.
Condition
Fair to Poor. Significant yellow/brown staining or adhesive bleed on the side of the strap, visible toe imprints on the insole, and scuffing on the toe box. The rubber band suggests it is being sold as a loose thrift pair.
Demand Level
Low. While the style is trendy, the brand is budget-tier and the high visibility of the flaws significantly reduces resale appeal.

$8.00 - $12.00

Comparable Sales
Similar Bamboo slides in 'Good' used condition typically sell for $10-$18 on platforms like Poshmark. This specific pair's damage would likely result in a sale at the bottom end of that range or as part of a bundle.
Description
These white Bamboo platform slides feature a chunky wedge heel and a wide strap for a classic Y2K-inspired look. The minimalist design and square-toed silhouette make them a trendy choice for summer or beach outings.
Key Features
Y2K aesthetic, platform height, square toe shape, neutral white colorway, popular lower-tier brand for budget-conscious shoppers.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Bamboo is a mass-market budget brand with stamped logo consistent with their standard branding. No luxury counterfeiting risk exists for this brand.
Flaws to Note
Major yellowing/discoloration on the side of the strap (possibly glue or permanent staining), significant scuffing on the front edge, and footbed wear/staining. The structure may be compromised by the adhesive failure causing the yellowing.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Mercari, Depop, or Facebook Marketplace. These platforms cater to buyers looking for cheap, trendy summer shoes for festivals or costumes.
Selling Tips
Attempt to clean the yellow staining with 70% isopropyl alcohol or a magic eraser, though it may be permanent adhesive bleed. Price very low (under $15) to move. Use keywords like 'Y2K,' 'Brat,' 'Platform,' and 'Festival.' Only buy if the thrift price is under $2.
