We like to consider ourselves flat-shoe aficionados with a specialty in hunting down the coolest sneakers that can easily finish every outfit. Not all shoes are created equal, and every now and then, a new pair comes along that manages to capture the hearts (and closets) of fashion people across the globe. One such gem has been delivered recently by Jimmy Choo: the Diamond Light Maxi.
You may think of Jimmy Choo and instantly envision incredible stilettos, sassy sandals, and killer boots—and yes, it has all of the above in abundance—but there's a lot more to this beloved brand. Its latest foray into the world of sneakers is delivering the kind of off-duty luxury that many of us want to weave into our casual days. The Diamond Light Maxi features a comfy, stacked rubber sole that provides bounce and a very welcome lift. With all the benefits of a platform sneaker, this new silhouette is still classic and elegant from the front, so you have the best of both worlds: sporty and polished.
It's proving to be one of the brand's most buzzed-about styles as we head into fall, and that's because it's the kind of versatile sneaker you can wear throughout the year with ease. For heel lovers, these shoes still provide sass, and for sneakerheads, the elevated finish and small details make for quite the sought-after collection. Have you noticed the diamond-like facets of the sole or the starburst-like seams across the side panels? In white Nappa leather, these are a delight. But you'll find the style landing in a range of colors and finishes: metallic silver, candy pink, and soft yellow are more adventurous options for those who like their sneakers to come with a statement. The silver, in particular, would make for the perfect after-dark companion, instantly adding a "wow" factor to a little black dress and allowing you to party all night without sacrificing style.
Which pair will you choose? Now, that's the hard part. Keep scrolling to see more of the Diamond Light Maxi sneakers and Jimmy Choo's other fantastic flats and fall-ready boots.
