"PRADA" 90’s-00’s Hexagon knight rubber sole polished penny loafer

Based on traditional craftsmanship and elevating intelligence and practicality into an aesthetic, PRADA presents a piece that encapsulates the minimalism proposed by Miuccia Prada at your feet.

This pair, with its elegant Bordeaux gloss, quietly elevates the tone of your outfit.

The upper uses thick and stiff glass leather or polished leather, and the reflection when hit by light is uneven, creating a three-dimensional effect that shows a face beyond mere classic. The parts with creases also do not lose their gloss, and the depth of the leather remains as a quality of time, which is also attractive.

The saddle part of the vamp follows the grammar of penny loafers, with a reverse triangle cut, so even without prominently displaying the logo, the outline of PRADA stands out, creating a subtle yet distinctive balance. The mocha stitching is also neat, and the surface from the toe connects smoothly, preventing the feet from appearing overly pointed and maintaining an elegant finish.

The sole construction is also very interesting. While leaving a leather sole-like expression near the arch, it incorporates rubber into the half-soles, combining the sex appeal of leather with practicality. Moreover, the rubber features a design with a knight motif scattered within hexagons, symbolizing tradition and reinterpreted as a non-slip feature. This physically embodies the fusion of mode and function that PRADA was known for at the time.

Regarding the era, the late 1990s to early 2000s is likely, and the fact that the insole logo is solely labeled PRADA differs from the recent dual markings. Additionally, the hexagon rubber pattern is highly compatible with the high-tech trend of the same period. Furthermore, the depth of the imprint, which is consistent with mold or press origins, indicates a different manufacturing process from later laser-processed items, making it a credible range.

The size is 37 1/2 based on the outsole imprint, and the condition is also easy to handle for those who prioritize the deep cracks characteristic of glass leather, making it a pair that is easy to pick up. The reassurance of rubber supports even on days with lots of daily movement.

Styling-wise, pairing with minimalistic slacks or neat long skirts highlights the shine at the feet, creating an intellectual mood. If inserted as a contrast with high-quality coats or simple jackets, it adds a mode that is not too classical. Also, even with a light outfit layered with soft shirts or knits, the core remains at the feet, allowing you to wear a quiet presence regardless of gender.

Take this opportunity.
