A selection of new [Prada](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trail-sneaker-1) sandals were recently released in time for the summer, and their [obscure cartoonish designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freizeit) make them the centerpiece of virtually any seasonal ensemble.

The first of the designs is bright orange, with white, lilac, and sunshine yellow flower embellishments complementing the uppers, as well as the outsoles. Included along with the flowers are bright green leaves as well, which stick out with the rest of the 3D embellishments. Two thick adjustable straps are featured on the ankle and foot of the sandals, which can be loosened and tightened with ease due to the [Velcro](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoka-mafate-three2) adhesives on them. The other sandals are similar in design, but feature a black base instead of orange.

Both Prada sandals are currently available from the designer label's retailers, where they sell for $465 USD a pair.
