piéton is an emerging footwear brand based in Seoul, South Korea. The label has launched its first-ever capsule collection dubbed ‘Shape,’ comprised of sandal and mule designs in various color options. The brand’s name translates to “walking person” in French, aiming to reinvent contemporary footwear trends with bold, versatile silhouettes.
Collection highlights include the ‘MALMO’ oblique mule in ‘Classic Gray,’ the ‘FARO’ slingback sandal in ‘White,’ ‘Navy Wool,’ and ‘Prussian Blue.’ For consumers who would like a fuller silhouette, the beige ‘EMDEN’ mesh boots reach the top of the ankle for a sleek, pointed-toe look.
The piéton campaign visuals and products are available on the piéton website for Korean shoppers and W Concept for international purchases.
