In these sandals from Miu Miu, the Prada diffusion brand, the soles are made of rubber as in sneakers. The combination of the driving shoes-like non-slip sole, the plastic heel, and the sneaker-like patent leather detail on the heel create a look that is sporty and casual.
Prada, which started as a luxury bag store, gained instant popularity when it turned the convention of using leather in bags on its head by designing bags made of functional nylon fabric. This product is also a manifestation of the sense of balance achieved by combining innovative and functional material with elegant design.
