Mule Sneakers

Light mule sneakers for casual outfits. This design was inspired by the movement of rice plants in a large field. The neutral tones are from fully ripe rice plants in a large field. The neutral tones are from fully rice plants in Fall ready to be harvested. The frayed edge of the tongue re[resents the plants and their movements in the wind. The aim was to deliver the coexistence of the warmth and coolness of the weather with form, colors, and materials.
