Moccasin-Inspired Sneakers

These Vibrantly Colored Pleated Female Kicks are Cruelty-Free

— July 16, 2015 — Fashion
These playful moccasin-inspired shoes are made specifically for females to have a stylish pair of comfy summer sneakers. The idea of a moccasin evokes thoughts of slippers and relaxation, which is exactly what these shoes deliver.

These brightly colored shoes are the second line of footwear created by the collaborative efforts of PLEATS PLEASE Issey Miyake and Native Shoes. The moccasin-inspired kicks are made completely animal cruelty-free, which is a major priority for the design team. The colorful shoes are available in bright colors like yellow, orange and white, but they also come in gray and black.

The colors are all fairly neutral and will aid in the completion of many summery outfits. These shoes are meant to be worn at the beach, on a hike, with a dress or with a pair of casual shorts.
