Walking on Jewels
The thick, transparent soles—reminiscent of gemstones—draw attention to the wearer’s feet, turning each step into a statement.
Each spherical unit in the sole is designed to move gently with the foot, providing a distinct sense of motion and grip. The softness of the material is finely tuned to deliver a floating, cushioned sensation when worn—something that can't be fully appreciated just by touch.
Encased within the outsole are tiny, candy-shaped colorful pieces that sway with every step. The upper features a soft knit sock, accented with a playful ribbon detail bearing the logo around the ankle.
Despite the voluminous silhouette, the clear sole helps maintain a visually light impression. All sizes feature a heel height of approximately 5 cm.
