Jacquemus introduces the Spring/Summer 2023 ‘Le Raphia’ Les mules Goia. The new design has a plain upper that wraps around the foot, molding rubberized leather into bulbous and curved forms. The mules come in two variations: contrasting suede or denim uppers. The top construction flows into the shoe's rubberized leather bumper, doubling as a platform sole unit. The outsole features ergonomic detailing for maximum comfort.
These shoes work well with the aesthetics of the summer, providing a classic and polished look that pairs well with cotton trousers, collared shirts, and straw hats. The ‘Les mules Goia’ shoe silhouette is available on the Jacquemus website. The price of the denim colorway is £545 GBP ($660 USD), while the suede version is £580 GBP ($700 USD).
