Italian luxury fashion house Prada introduces its latest footwear silhouette to join its roster with the new series of Foam Rubber Booties. The shoes come in the colorway options of either muted black or bolder iterations of red and Light Blue. It has a rubber look throughout the silhouette that builds up to the calf section, resembling the base of the house's previously launched mule.
On the side of the shoe is some branding in the form of the embossed triangle logo on the lateral side of the shoe. It sits on top of a chunky rubber sole unit and overall boasts a single-tone upper construction. Rounding out the shoe is some slight contouring around the front and branding at the heel.
