Luxury fashion house Prada introduces its latest Nappa sandal silhouette that was designed by none other than Raf Simons and Miuccia Prada together. The joint creatives delivered a design that has sports sensibilities in mind, dropping two sets of sandals in total.
The first of the two is made from padded Nappa leather material and the second takes on a stronger sports mindset with a blend of leather and nylon tape. The Nappa designs come in white or black colorway options and have subtle branding details, which can be seen at the insole and the lateral side of the front-quarter strap. The sporty version has details including the signature metal clip and the nylon straps with branding at the insole.
