Considering all the bulky shoe styles that have taken over the fashion industry lately, this colourful capsule collection is the one that you should be most excited about – it’s one of those trend comers, whom you may choose to hate or love, but staying oblivious to them is so not the option owing to the nostalgia that oozes out of its iconic high-school style.
A neon twist to the tale
“Since the very beginning, it’s been all about platforms for us. We figured now was the perfect time to re-invent these styles in a fun and exciting way and there wasn’t a better partner than Urban Outfitters.” – as quoted by Steve Madden at the launch.

The shoes, that debuted in 1994 as classic black pieces, are not only available in two styles but in a jaw-dropping neon colour range – the ugly fashion inspired platform sandals and the sporty thong sandals. The Platform thong sandals feature net straps and a lightweight 2-inch foam sole for a sportier feel (available in black, bright orange, and silver); whereas the slinky platform sandal is a slide-on that features a stretchy, elastic-like band across the top and a thick 1.5-inch sloped rubber sole (available in neon pink and lime green).
