The Michael Silhouette by Paraboot Gets a New Slip-On Transformation
References: highsnobiety
Paraboot transforms the iconic Michael silhouette into a slip-on and was first seen at Pitti Uomo 104. The signature shoe has been sliced up and turned into a mule hybrid. At the front of the silhouette, it appears to be a classic loafer with contrast stitching details. It also features a lace enclosure over the forefoot and a branding tab along the lateral side of the shoe.
It all rests on top of a rugged sole unit foundation in black to add some tonal contrast. When looking at the shoe from the back, it features a strap with a buckled detail in silver for an easily accessible look. It provides a more causal look for the warmer seasons of the year.
