Italian luxury fashion house Prada introduces a new set of its foam rubber mules that are perfect for the warmer seasons of the year. It is made for lounging around or simply heading out to run errands -- there are three colorways that launch. This includes a bright red iteration, a light blue, or a muted black palette, which offers an alternative option to its suede or leather options.

It is entirely made from foam rubber materials in a seamless silhouette. At the top of the shoe, there is a touch of branding in the form of the Prada triangle log embossed on top. Additional details include the side cutouts for breathability and a chunky sole unit.
