Our Favorite Grandpa Sneaker Just Married Our Favorite Jelly Shoe

A match made in heaven

by Jenna Igneri

Ring the alarms: The spring shoe collaboration of our dreams has just arrived. Two of our favorite ugly-cute shoe brands, Melissa and Fila, known for quirky plastic shoes and delightfully chunky grandpa sneakers, respectively, have teamed up for a new '80s- and '90s-inspired capsule.

Melissa x Fila consists of four unisex styles: three new shoe silhouettes and a bag. The first—and foundational—piece of this collab is the rubbery tri-color sneaker, available in four fun colorways and featuring alternating lace colors. The next is a classic pool slide sporting both brand logos, available in four different colorways. The third (and, okay, our favorite) is a chunky Velcro sandal, available in four colorways, which absolutely exudes dad fashion (but also, fashion fashion). The collection also includes Fila's take on Melissa's classic bum bag, available in white and navy colorways. The collection ranges from $79 to $98.

Bring on the slides with socks, because we're not waiting for spring to start rocking these. (Who cares if it's snowing in NYC?)

Purchase this special collaboration in-store at the Soho Galeria Melissa in New York City or online. In the meantime, take a look at the full offering, below.
