Why it's worth it

A flip-flop that's also a sculpture.

The Edit

A fully synthetic Melflex® construction gives this thong-strap kitten heel a high-gloss lacquer finish identical across upper, heel, and outsole — no seams, no contrast material breaks. The heel itself flares into a wide, squared base that reads more sculpture than footwear, sitting at roughly 4–5cm. The lightly quilted footbed adds a subtle dimensional detail to an otherwise sealed, monolithic silhouette.

Insider Tip

Melflex® is waterproof — wear these straight into the pool.

Is now a good time?
