Loafers, Ballet & Retro Lows: The Sneakers That Stole Summer
— The Mad Kicks Edit
The Revival of Sophisticated Lows
This summer, it’s all about refined simplicity. While chunky silhouettes take a back seat, low-profile sneakers and loafers are stealing the spotlight. From streetwear fans to luxury lovers, the shift is real — and Mad Kicks has the perfect lineup.
1. Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66: The Sneakerina’s Cult Favorite
With its sleek profile and heritage roots, the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 is the ultimate blend of vintage runner and ballet-core energy. Its slim shape and iconic crossed stripes offer a refined, easy-to-style silhouette that feels light on foot and heavy on style. Whether paired with linen sets or loose cargos, this is the understated low-top of the season.
🛒 Available at Mad Kicks in “Black/Cream”, “Birch Peacoat” & more.
2. Loro Piana Summer Walk: Quiet Luxury in Motion
Nothing says elevated summer style like the Loro Piana Summer Walk Loafer. Crafted in butter-soft suede with a flexible white sole, it brings luxury to laid-back fits. These loafers and slippers are perfect for UAE’s heat—lightweight, breathable, and sleek enough for any occasion.
