If you watched the Brandy and Monica Verzuz battle, then you most likely saw the simple and classic mules Brandy paired with her eclectic outfit. We certainly did and we loved them. While we're sure they were designer, we're just not sure that is was the stunning Bottega Veneta Puffy Intreccio Square Mules you see above. In all honesty, we love these more than the ones Brandy wore because of its intricate and beautiful details.

These darling slides are anything but simple. These beauties boast a leather upper, woven into squares. It also features an elongated square open toe, a single-band vamp, and a 3 1/2" covered heel.

Much like the air we breathe, the sun is essential to life on Earth. It gives energy to us and plant life, warms the atmosphere and our bodies of water, and without the energy of the sun, the planet would be a giant iced over rock. Thankfully there are footwear brands that believe people should enjoy fashion and help the Earth at the same time. It is our pleasure to introduce you to SUNS Shoes and their new line of UVcolor-changing sneakers that celebrates the joy of fashion and helps the planet.


At first glance, the classic cotton twill sneakers look just like your typical canvas shoe, but when you walk from indoors to a sunny day outdoors, you'll realize there's nothing typical about them. Launched on Kickstarter on May 27th, ​SUNS Shoes​ is an affordable way to help the planet and brighten up your footwear options. The line of color-changing shoes for women harnesses the power of the sun to create vibrant colors and patterns that change right before your eyes. What’s more, the brand is committed to giving back to the planet by planting trees for every pair sold. Check out how ours went from white to blue in our Shoeography Instagram video and see some of the color-changes highlighted below:


With fun designs including polka dot, tie-dye, stars, camouflage and zebra print, SUNS Shoesare fun fashion for feet. Available in three footwear styles, including lace-up and slip-ons, SUNS Shoes are available in 19 color-changing designs. On some styles, it's not just the cotton twill upper that changes color. On many, the laces and even the rubber sole. Available at a more affordable price point than other eco-conscious brands, SUNS Shoes are designed with comfort and durability in mind.


But these eco-friendly, UV color-changing shoes are also committed to helping our planet. For every pair that is sold, SUNS Shoes, in partnership with Trees for the Future, will plant 10 trees around the world. Every pair of SUNS Shoes also comes in recycled packaging with plant-based ink. A “thank you” note, made of seed paper to encourage customers to plant and grow something on their own, is in every shoe box.

“Environmentally friendly brands are notorious for being too expensive for average consumers to afford,” said George Beall, CEO of SUNS Shoes. “The color-changing effect of SUNS Shoes is magical when you see it happen before your eyes. We wanted to bring that joy to people, and use a budget- and eco-friendly business model to do it.”


SUNS Shoes are available in U.S. women’s sizes 4-11, including half-sizes. To pre-order your favorite color or pattern, visit their Kickstarter campaign on ​pr.go2.fund/suns​.

The days are staring to roll into one another but some days are getting better and warmer than most. While we're still getting a few cold snaps here and there, we find ourselves looking for more playful things. Once such joy is this quirky shoe, the MCM Hide and Seek Rabbit Slip-On Sneakers. These delightful shoes are crafted with MCM's iconic monogram leather upper, rounded toe silhouette, a slip-on construction for on-the-go style, and eye-catching rabbit graphics across the vamp.

New York City-based footwear brand, Muvez just launched a new range of convertible house slippers, the 3:AMs, on Kickstarter. The interchangeable slides blend the aesthetic and functionality of an athletic shoe with the comfort and ease of a casual house slipper. With a breathable knit, zero gravity cushion insole and neoprene heel, you will want to keep the 3:AMs on your feet all day.


The 3:AMs feature dual sole technology that allows you to easily slip out of their lightweight outsoles and enjoy the comfort of breathable indoor slippers comfortably without tracking in dirt and bacteria from outside. If you have to head back outside, Muvez's patent pending heel security technology enables you to effortlessly slip back into the outsoles. These outsoles are specifically designed to not only provide protection and extra shock absorption, but deliver unmatched comfort.


“We are dedicated to reinventing traditional footwear by integrating modern design and functionality,” said Eric Cruz, Muvez Co-Founder and CEO. “We modeled the 3:AMs to be innovative, convenient and comfortable for anyone on the move.”

With the 3:AMs, you can easily transition from outdoors to indoors thanks to its detachable sole technology. Made of rubber-like EVA material, the outsole provides protection, extra shock-absorbency and an unparalleled level of comfort. If the outsole gets dirty, simply throw it in the washing machine. Once inside, the stretchy, breathable knit slipper protects against stepping on sharp objects, slipping on wet surfaces or accidentally sliding down stairs. The insole is safe to wear inside, leaving dirt and bacteria outside.


How exactly does it work? The collapsible neoprene heel is responsive for easy accessibility. This feature allows you to easily slip on your 3:AMs to either wear them as slides or sneakers. The heel is more secure and raised than the original version and the breathable knit upper is made out of elastic materials to provide a comfortable, secure fit that will hold tight during movement.



The 3:AMs’ insoles are offered in four colorways: vanta black, rose red, stone grey and maverick blue across sizes 5-13. The outsoles are available in black and white, and are interchangeable, giving you an opportunity to mix and match different color outsoles and insoles.



The 3:AMs are now available for preorder on Kickstarter for $79.00, nearly 40% off the retail value. For more information about the campaign or to place a preorder your own 3:AMs, visit pr.go2.fund/3am.
