Ferrari has just launched its new Slide Loafers which is a hybrid model that blends the sleek structure of a classic leather loafer with the breathability of slides. It is made in Italy and the summer-ready models are complete in a brushed calf leather material at the upper, complete with topstitching and the signature Prancing Horse motif nodding to Ferrari.
It has a subtle embossed application on the sole unit. At the inside section, it has a red leather lining which adds a nod to the brand's heritage. The padded insole adds a comfortable touch to the model in a seamless way and the soles are notably built for grip with the intention of a cozy stroll.
