TOKYOMANGO: Slipper Ping Pong Official Racket

Slipper Ping Pong Official Racket

It hasn't been approved for the Olympics yet, but Slipper Ping Pong is an international sport with growing popularity. The game was started in Kahokucho, a small city known for being the #1 slipper manufacturer in the country. As a way to promote tourism—and to get rid of excess slipper materials—they invented this modded sport not so long ago. The most recent championship game attracted competitors from Malaysia and Finland (video here).

Anyway, you can buy the official World Ping Pong Championship slippers on Cataloger's web site.
