First Look: Miu Miu x New Balance 530 Mule
Further blurring the lines between high fashion and athletic heritage.
Miu Miu, the brainchild of the enigmatic Miuccia Prada, continues to enthrall the fashion world with its distinctive blend of luxury and playful subversion. As evidenced by a recent surge in sales, the brand’s influence extends beyond apparel, with its footwear collaborations with New Balance consistently generating excitement and rapid sell-outs.
Earlier this year, Miu Miu and New Balance reimagined the classic 530 with the introduction of the 530SL, a “super light” iteration. Now, a tantalizing glimpse into their next project has emerged: a captivating mule interpretation of the aforementioned.
The “Cinnamon” brown hue, a hallmark of their original collaboration, makes a welcome return alongside a pristine white option. Both pairs retain the captivating blend of luxurious leather and utilitarian cotton laces.
The defining feature, however, lies in the transformation of the 530 into a slip-on silhouette. The rear section has been removed, and the footbed meticulously adjusted to seamlessly accommodate the mule design.
While official release details remain undisclosed, the overhauled Miu Miu x New Balance 530 is purported to arrive sometime in 2025. Expect them to be exclusive to Miu Miu boutiques, with a price tag likely exceeding US$1,000, aligning with prior collaborations.
