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 trainers are created equal, and every now and then, a new pair comes along that manages to capture the hearts (and wardrobes) 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 envisage incredible stilettos, sassy sandals and killer boots—and yes, it provides all of the above in abundance—but there’s a lot more to this beloved brand. Its latest foray into the world of trainers makes a strong case for the kind of off-duty luxe that many of us want to weave into our casual days. The Diamond Light Maxi features a comfy, 4.5cm stacked rubber sole that provides bounce and a very welcome lift. Delivering 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 the new season, and that’s because it’s the kind of versatile trainer you can wear throughout the year with ease. For heel-lovers, these shoes still provide that 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? Even in white Nappa leather, these delight, but you’ll also find the style landing in a range of colours and finishes: metallic silver, candy pink and soft yellow provide more adventurous options for those who like your 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 spend all night partying without sacrificing on style.
Which pair will you choose? Now, that’s the hard part. Keep scrolling to see more of the Diamond Light Maxi sneakers, as well as Jimmy Choo’s other fantastic flats and alternative trainer styles.
