Japanese footwear brand grounds has taken a bold step into the global spotlight by partnering with Grammy-nominated musician Camila Cabello for its first-ever talent collaboration. Together, they’ve created the limited-edition, made-to-order 'Moopie x Camila Cabello,' a reimagining of grounds’ signature Moopie trainer. Known for its iconic bubbly, chunky soles, this version is elevated with a dreamy 'Blue Hour' colorway, handpicked by Camila herself.
The collaboration celebrates Camila’s connection to the brand and her love for the Moopie design, a staple in her wardrobe. The 'Blue Hour' shade takes inspiration from her fourth studio album, C, XOXO, which focuses on Cabello's Miami upbringing. The album title is featured on the insole and heel tab.
The 'Moopie x Camila Cabello' is available for pre-order exclusively on the grounds website, and the collection is set to ship in Spring 2025.
