The shoe boasts a 100% leather design that's characterized by a thick sole that creates visual heft for the footwear and allows for a more substantial silhouette. The lower section of the shoe is covered in three rows of metal studs that create a deviation from the otherwise simple leather exterior and elevate it into a footwear option suitable for fans of subculture fashion. The Prada Studded Derby Shoes are priced at $1,060 and speak to a larger movement towards high-end fashion products that draw influence from cultural movements of the past.
