Prada's Clear-Soled Derby Shoe Will Add a Touch of Flair to Classic Looks

The derby shoe has had its time in the spotlight this season and Prada is offering up its own edition of the sturdy style in one of its latest releases. Following behind the likes of Balenciaga’s laced green version and a fragment design x Dr. Martens collaboration, the Italian label sticks to the classic side of the equation, strapping the silhouette with a translucent outsole to kick up the modernization.

The pair is crafted in buffed black leather and feature a round toe and tonal laces. A wavy mudguard design adds a unique look along the midsole, which is equipped with a clear window to showcase the support system. Subtle branding nods include an embossed logo on the tongue and a transparent “PRADA” emblem on the heel, rounding the footwear off with more sensible touches.

Prada’s Black Leather Bounce Derbys are priced at $870 USD and available now at SSENSE.
