Making a strong opening statement is Aqua, a new line of platform boots and cross-strap pumps that embody a fun circus spirit with their unique designs, especially the colorful patchwork Damier version made of ultra-soft leather in a lively diamond pattern.
This playful harlequin design is also seen on the Doria pump from the Kate Max shoe line, which comes in classic black and features shining rhinestones. The Doria Offenbee offers a fun twist with an ankle strap inspired by clown collars, but also includes a simple satin strap for practicality.
