The strappy sandals resembling bare feet in Chanel's new collection have left people baffled. Consisting only of a heel and priced at 90,000 TL in Turkey, the design has become a topic of discussion. Users commented with remarks like, 'What supply and demand is this nonsense,' 'Nice but where's the rest?' and 'This needs a thousand witnesses to be called a shoe.'
Chanel, one of the most established brands in the fashion world, shocked onlookers with the barefoot-looking sandals featured in its new collection. The brand, which has set trends in the luxury segment for years, was this time discussed not for its bold design but for a design that is almost nonexistent.
PRICE IN TURKEY IS 90 THOUSAND TL
The lace-up sandals, reportedly priced at 90 thousand lira in Turkey, quickly became a talking point among social media users. While the design was found "bold and minimalist" by some, many users highlighted the gap between the shoe's price and its appearance.
A DESIGN THAT OVERSHADOWED FAMOUS NAMES
Chanel introduced its 2026/2027 Spring/Summer collection at a special event attended by numerous famous names, including Nicole Kidman. However, the celebrity names sitting in the front row of the runway did not receive the expected attention on social media after the show.
The most talked-about piece of the collection was the sandals worn by models on the runway, which gave the appearance of bare feet. This design, seen on the feet of many models during the French shows, quickly overshadowed the rest of the collection.
"BAREFOOT SHOES"
The design of the sandals features no striking details other than a thin platform at the heel and straps around the ankle. While the toes, sole, and heel are largely exposed, the design's almost "shoe-without-shoes" appearance has drawn criticism.
Although simplicity is often accepted as a powerful form of expression in the fashion world, Chanel's design was discussed on social media more in terms of "the limits of luxury." Users reacted not to the minimal lines of the shoe but to its coming to the forefront with a 90 thousand lira price tag.
BEARS THE SIGNATURE OF MATTHIEU BLAZY
The unusual sandal design bears the signature of Matthieu Blazy. Blazy's simple yet striking touch found a highly controversial interpretation on the Chanel runway this time.
"WHAT DEMAND IS THIS FOR"
This extraordinary design became a hot topic on social media. Users made the following comments about the shoe.
- This needs a thousand witnesses to be called a shoe.
- Fine and good, but where is the rest?
- What nonsense demand is this for?
- Are people this stupid or are brands this cunning?
- The heel part was a bother.
- How will we wear this on the beach? Our feet will burn.
- Outrageous. Where will we wear this?
