Miu Miu works in collaboration with New Balance to elevate a pair of its shoes to present the new New Balance 530 mules. The base of the silhouette retains most of the original design with a new touch in the form of its premium materials and summer-ready transformation.
The new collaborative project comprises a low-cut design and cuts off the heel so that it is a hybrid sneaker and mule structure. Miu Miu alters the shoes in two colorway options starting with an aged black leather finish for a stealthy look followed by a faded suede in a light brown. It is priced at $1,170 and is now available to shop online on Miu Miu.
