Looking for summer-friendly shoes that are a change from leather sandals? Good news, these shoes straight out of our childhood are officially back.
Do you know what Blake Lively and Gigi Hadid have in common? In addition to being true superstars, the two Americans are big fans of the same pair of shoes. On social networks, several content creators who have also fallen under their spell, address their subscribers to give them their “visions“. “With shorts and white socks, it’s magnificent!” enthuses videographer @ingrid_vd. In the comments, fashionistas are also won over. At the center of the conversation, a pair that is over 75 years old, which has long been the subject of debate.
In 1946, these rather unusual sandals were born to cope with post-war shortages. Several decades later, they were found on the feet of all the children running on the beaches of France and Navarre. But in 2024, they have found their place in the wardrobes of fashionistas. Transparent, opaque, colorful, with sequins… There is a pair for every look. The sandals in question are obviously the Sun, more commonly called Méduses, the name of the company that sells them.
So easily recognizable thanks to their plastic material, they were first adopted by the cool kids of Taiwan or Tokyo. But for a few years now, they have become an integral part of the stylish Parisian’s wardrobe. Made in France and Morocco, the Méduses are also made from 100% recyclable PVC.
Sold at 3.2 million copies worldwide, the Méduses have reinvented themselves to stay in fashion. To suit all tastes, the traditional sandal is now available as mules, wedges, ballerinas or even ankle boots… Like the influencers, they can be easily worn on the beach with a swimsuit of course, but in the city, they can also be easily combined with denim mini shorts or a long dress
