Marc by Marc Jacobs : Looking Modern with Ancient Gladiator Flair

August 2nd, 2009 by Pompeia

The tough, punk chic look meets the classic gladiator design in this radical hybrid sandal simply named Marc by Marc Jacobs. Looking ravishingly regal while maintaining the classic appeal of gladiator sandals, the desirably decorated patent leather upper and gorgeous graphics of colorful diamond shapes accentuate the stylish straps in a combination that definitely won’t be seen elsewhere.

The metal, diamond shaped details are a stunning twist of an addition to the usual, gladiator inspired construction of matte leather straps, and I know you agree with me that such a clever feature is brilliantly done and painful for us sandal lovers to ignore. This type of footwear is one of the rare ones that actually gets stuck in people’s minds after seeing it for only once, and that’s one trait that we fashionistas truly adore – making this sandal a must have to our sandal collection. Available at Zappos.com, this bold, assertive and cutting edge sandal is not only about design and grace, but also of easy instep access and comfort, thanks to its soft patent leather upper and cushy leathery insole. With its sizzling popularity, I’m hopeful that Marc Jacobs would consider making an elevated version of this adorable, hybrid footwear.
