Standing on a 3 3/4" heel and a 1 1/2" platform, this shoe also features metallic gold detailing and a lug sole that allows for extra traction and stability.
Akira's Privileged Captain Mary Jane is an affordable take on Prada's runway designs that remix retro styling for a new generation of fashion lovers. The shoes are crafted from vegan materials that are all man-made and are a vibrant statement piece that can be worn at any occasion.
