By Walid is often recognized for adorning his fashion designs in textiles that reference ancient Chinese traditions -- the latest drop is the Felix sandals and it follows the same suit. The footwear model boasts a plush texture throughout the silhouette.
This time around, the construction is highlighted by a series of 17th century tapestry that serves as the toe straps. The insoles are similar as it is defined by soft shearling materials serving as the footbed, delivered in a light gray hue. The strap enclosure that holds the foot secure is decorated in beige and held together with velcro materials around the back heel section. The footwear is rounded out with a black rubber material making up the black outsole.
