Miu Miu Unveils Exclusive New Balance Slipper at Vinyl-Themed Pop-Up
By Editor • September 14, 2026 • 1 min read
Miu Miu has made a striking statement by launching a new New Balance slipper at a vinyl-record-themed pop-up event in Japan. This unique combination of fashion and music culture showcases the brand's penchant for the avant-garde and adds a twist to the conventional shoe debut.
The latest release, a ballerina sneaker priced at $1,170, is already half-sold out on Miu Miu's website. This design enhances the previous Miu Miu x New Balance 530 SL collaboration, featuring an elongated foot opening and crafted from either soft brown cinnamon suede or white leather. The flat-soled 530 SL has become a standout style in recent years, and this adaptation further refines its balance of elegance and sporty flair, embodying the essence of Miu Miu.
Miu Miu, often regarded as the intellectual sister brand to Prada, has been hosting both Vinyl and Literary Clubs since 2024. The current Spring/Summer 2026 collection draws inspiration from Helga Paris’s 1980s photography book, Women at Work. This intellectual underpinning, rooted in designer Miuccia Prada’s background in political science and activism, aligns perfectly with the unique setting of a vinyl enthusiast's gathering for this shoe launch.
